Summer 2012

Another wonderful summer in the islands. The trade winds have a way of staying with you long after you've departed. And too, I can still smell the Pikakis and Plumerias. But, as always, we look forward to returning in mind, spirit, and yes, next summer(if not sooner).

Book signing at Malibu Shirts in Waikiki. Amazing store filled with an incredible collection of surf history.
