Michael Kaawa is someone I looked up to as a young man growing up in the Islands! He is a very close friend even being apart for so many years.

When I left home 23 years ago, it was at his home in Maunawili where the decision was made to leave home to better myself seeking to become a Radiation Protection Technologist.

Mike is one of the Big reasons for connecting with so many important Hawaiian Musicians.

Patrick Landeza is the hottest young slack key guitar player and nephew of the above mentioned, Dennis Kamakahi.

Riatea Helm. Fegetaboutit! The Hottest Young Female Vocalist of Hawaii and her music can be heard in the surf shop! What a talent!

Dennis is Hawaii's Greatest Composers of ALL time and he is a friend of Mike Kaawa. Though everyone appears to be special in their own right he too, deserves special attention.

Keola Beamer is a master at composition and education! He is a class act and very well spoken and intelligent. He has given me time for small conversation in the past and he is a Master!

Hawaiian Hits Live!

Mauna Lua This is a fabulous group with a fantastic new sound!

Na Palapalai is off the hook and a great example of awesome Falsetto music with an upbeat sound to boot. They pulled of a great performance in March of 2004 at Hunter College here in the City. Their tunes help me prepare for my morning Surf Reports as it puts me in a very happy mood! Mahalo for the autographed CD and we hope that they visit NYC soon!

Brothers Cazimero are one of the greatest acts from Hawai'i. I was fortunate to have witnessed their past performance at the infamous Carnagie Hall when they were backed by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. After this particular event in a nearby parking garage, a Violin player whom participated that night, mentioned that they were Awesome! What a complement since many in the ensemble are professionals in their own right.

Got a lot of insight from Brother IZ and he was a "Computer Geek" as we would chat at IZ Chat on the H-4 Internet Site administered by Rabbett. What a strong voice and an enchanting sound that many will enjoy for the days to come.

I presented an IZ CD to Jeff Booth, former ASP Champion and Executive at Quiksilver, and he still listens to the great sounds over two years later. Many of his tunes will set you up for a great surf session as it will prepare you mentally allowing great flow and transition! Like many of the links here, they are available as an awesome tool to improve upon your surfing!

Aunty Genoa's music will make you want to get up and dance! She is an inspiration to many since she is the Queen of Hawaiian Music! My friend Keith Ah Yuen's grandmother whom we met after a gig a few years back at Carnagie Hall in NYC. It was very interesting to hear Aunty Genoa hit her notes in a hall that includes one of the best acoustic sound engineering designs in the world!

Henry Kapono gave us many BACKSTAGE PASSES for his concerts. I use to visit Kapono's house with cousin Kevin Hosea. Cecilio and Kapono were very successful and he was nice to us when we were in our teens following the music scene.

He was supposed to play professional sports like Mike Kaawa yet decided to play music and entertain. His brother, Kala Kaaihue played for the Pittsburgh Pirates! Kapono means righteous and he was named Henry after my uncle Henry Hosea.

Donavan Frankenreiter I'd like to welcome the sounds of Surfer and Recording Artist Donavan Frankenreiter to our surf shop thanks to Mr. Robert Morgano of the Universal Music Group located in NYC.

Donavan charges big surf around the world and his new CD is a charm. I hear that he's a fellow Hawaiian too! Welcome brah and good luck on your music artistry that we support here!
