- Date more likely late "teens" to eaarly 1920"s as several viewers suggest. Nonetheless, very old Hawaiian black and white film featuring early surfing footage - "KOLOHE BOY" ('ukulele) performed by Steve Racoosin. Most likely a composite film - a little from the middle "teens" perhaps thru early "20's" as viewers who know something about this time period in Hawaii have noted in comments. Thanking all who contribute. A tutorial now exists for those of you who wish to learn the 'ukulele tune on this video • Kolohe Boy 'Ukulele - ...

So lucky we can see this recording a century later. Mahalo to those who recorded it and who are probably no longer with us. There's no mistaking Rainbow Falls at the end.
Paradise lost. Thanks for posting.

Beautiful Hawaii ❤
We agree! Thx :-)
absolutely love Hawaiian - doesn"t get any better than that!
Thanks for stopping by to enjoy this enigmatic nostalgic video even as it first appeared in early 2012 - with it's original 'ukulele soundtrack intact / flaws and all. In appreciation for all your support - allow me to simply state again . . . E pili ana na mele Hawaii he kanalua 'ole wale no ia penei - 'o ka Hawaii ka 'oi
Aloha pumehana,
(islandnites)
The waterfall at the end is probably Rainbow Falls in Hilo on the Big Island (Hawaii). At least, it sure looks like it to me!!!
It is.
I recognize the old Hawaiian church, which is now across the City Hall and the building in Chinatown (I think). I left the Islands in 1953.
This was a treat
thank you for going to the trouble to upload the vid. i plan to check out the locations of the film.
Thanks - possibly a composite film? A steamship named "Great Northern" also appears in the same footage at Honolulu harbor & it's last known trip to that location was year 1914.
A paradise...
I certainly would have enjoyed the experience if I was living the way back when. Thx for watching.
Very nice footage! Thanks for posting.
The waterfall in the deep ravine is along the Hamākua coast on Hawaiʻi island, and the last waterfall definitely looks like Rainbow Falls, also known as Waiānuenue. Mahalo for the nice vid and ʻukulele solo! (Like some other viewers, Iʻd change your title to say "circa 1920s" since cars werenʻt as common in 1913 yet...)
truth2happiness Aloha from Waimanalo
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
When it was properly still the Kingdom. As I still call it. I still refer to it as the Kingdom.
Fantastic footage! Thank you for putting it on!
I saw the Moana Hotel on Waikiki beach, surfing shots, one shot of Onomea arch (the coconut trees on the beach) downtown Honolulu, a shot of Kolekole from the train trestle, Umauma falls in Hakalau, then Rainbow falls in Hilo at the end.
Aaahh da good ol days when da tide wasnt so high and the RAIL hasnt been built yet
I just dont like the modernization they done with everything though. Look how simplistic everything was back then
@@jchyldresearch Tartaria mudflood. RUclips channel my lunchbreak revealing the world was far more civilized 150-200 years ago than we've been told. I meal look at the structures here, power tool invented in 1893 and these are all here? Old-world style palace building. Queen Liliuokalani palce is clearly not just inspired by british monarchy but build by master masons before or early into Hawaiin invasion
Great film. Remarkable ,,
Love this video!
So glad! No'u ka hau'oli, mahalo a nui.
Nahenahe.... thanks for uploading!
The road lined with royal palms is actually Royal Palm Drive at Punahou School, not a private home. And it still looks substantially the same today, by the way.
@kd5txo Ultimate compliment (expressed in Hawaiian!) - very grateful - thank you!
I had no idea until now about that - thanks for telling us about it. Would love to learn more ' ' '
Maika'i.....It is as it was....
Very interesting stuff - your insight very much appreciated!
Mahalo & Aloha
Thanks for sharing.
Actually 1921, judging by the license plates on the cars.
Thx so much! Kolohe boy ('ukulele) is dedicated to Charlene A. Waiwaiole ( . . . the most beautiful Hawaiian girl of all time) But all Hawaiian girls are beautiful, aren't they? Anyway, glad you enjoyed - let me know if I can help with your request. Sheet music doesn't exist for this tune - but anything else I can do please let me know. Steve Racoosin (islandnites).
When I was little there were no 100-year-old videos. How'd they do it?
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Damn, you could only imagine what this would look like in color…
That would be awesome!
Mahalo for the nostalgia. It does look like Royal Palm Drive on the Punahou School campus and it's still there! Those electric train cars are long gone. Now the government is spending money on a train from Barber's Point to HNL airport. And the waterfall does look like Rainbow Falls on the Big Island. Punahou '64
that'll be great - let us know what you find out.
I'm glad I ran across your page it is great thank you. you wouldn't like mine don't even look. Yours is so relaxing and interesting.
Would lived to see a then and now side by side
I have a ukulele made out of tiger Wood. I need to have a little bit of work done on it so I can play it do you play the guitar I've played one before
Yeah, I was thinking it was likely this footage actually was shot at different times. The opening shot of Waikiki shows the Moana Hotel as it appeared after it was enlarged in 1918, but I'm sure there's earlier stuff too.
Actually I believe the S.S. Great Northern traveled to Hawaii up till 1917, when it was put into service in the Atlantic by the US government after America got into World War I that year.
Vintage music would have been nice to complete the illusion and evoke the era totally.
No doubt about it - Hawaiians are the best!
Cable cars?! I had no idea. That looks like San Francisco, not what I would expect to see in Hawaii. America really screwed everything up, didn’t it? I’m so sorry about the mess we made of paradise. 😢
Where can I find the music for Kolohe Boy or a way to reach Steve Racoosin? It's one of the nicest slack key ukulele pieces I've ever heard.
have not seen him in the news lately. going to see if i can find out whats he up to. last time i saw him in person, he was in a sports car at a gas station. full of family and kids. real dakine style. he is a good person.
Indeed he is! When you see him again - please let him know that his fans always remember him & his illustrious career in the ring. Aloha nui from Steve Racoosin in Arkansas (islandnites)
nice
Greetings Zaramin - you can email Steve Racoosin at "islandnites@gmail.com". Thanks for your compliment. Will be happy to assist you.
always wanted to go to Hawaii or any of the islands but since 9/11 I never want to fly again I was trapped for 3 weeks. now the airlines miss treat people. I hope this all changes so I can one day. Thankyou
" aloha friday world from mexi-kalihi"(mexicali mexico)
Jorge Paez is from Mexicali - much aloha to that amazing guy!
theres a clip of a road and 2 rows of palm trees lining it was that the estate at maunawilli.....aka.....irwin boyd estate......who know more about it...site of the mahele meetings? queens bath? song aloha oe started to becomposed under the banyan tree taken over by DLNR
some refer to as the Irwin-Hederman estate because he headed up DLNR....another sacred place that disappered. I was up there a month ago... I don't think people are allowed because of the golf course there now...run down, not taken care of...baynon tree and walls overgrown along with the Queens bath...it used to be a royal bread basket...meeting place of the mahele...one strange state acquisition. Super fishy
Maika'i loa
