Tell us about Kaua'i:

Kaua’i is one of the last examples of real Hawaii. It is the closest you can get to seeing what life was like before skyscrapers, freeways, and hundreds and hundreds of visitors. Kaua’i is little slice of heaven. Pure Aloha in its most true form.

A perfect day?

Sun’s out, winds are low, and the waves are pumping.

What is the best thing about Kaua'i?

You can experience some of the best the world has to offer here. From world-class beaches and waves, to insane coral reefs and hikes with views that would make anyone say, “WOW!”

What is the worst?

Crowds and unpredictable conditions.

What would be surprising about Kaua'i to an outsider?

That a place like this still exists in the world.

If Kaua'i was a person who would it be?

Kendrick Lamar. Not everyone knows about him but those who do love him.

Who are three of your favorite artists?

Chris Burkard, Zak Noyle and Ray Collins are big inspirations to the vision I am trying to capture.
