On top of being absolutely stunning, Mahina could be an award winning actress or news journalist! Props on her zen type ease and relatability in front of the camera.
I like what she’s said: ”There’s something very special and deep about surfing that most people can say they relate too.” I find that too. It’s almost a spiritual experience. Whether you’re doing it or watching it.
@@koalee787 nah man. False. Hawaii is still Hawaii. Kanaka maoli are still here. Shooting to raise the bar. Not be defeated by its current heights. They can push me all they want. I will not falter. Neither should any of us. Financial freedom is possible. Succeeding in this life, here on the islands. Are possible. Malahini prove it everyday
O ahu is a magical place Yes tourists everywhere, but doesn't take away from the aloha spirit, feeling. I was there a couple months ago and really felt the connection for me, very much appreciated the place and rich culture Great segment Mahalo
What a beautiful look at a beautiful culture. I love the respect to the other origins of surfing at the beginning of the video too. The segment with Tammy Moniz was my favorite: "To understand surfing as a sport is one thing, but to understand surfing as a culture, and as a love... and something we will do for the rest of our life. There's not a day that goes by that I don't come to the beach and just think, my gosh I get to do this. This is a place I get to be a steward of, and to pass down our love for surfing, and culture, and aloha." 🙏
This add popped up. It was almost 12 minutes. I watched my first 12 minute ad! You are a special person. I noticed you on Nate’s vlog years ago! Would love to see more of you or your own vlog. Your very intelligent and interesting.
Please make a video about it. I think it’s very interesting! So much more to the culture and no one ever hears from The women of the country/state. It’s really cool ! Just so you know, I’m a Indiana Midwest man. This story needs to be told!
Thank you for such an amazing short film. I grew up surfing and love it. for me surfing, its more about the feeling of being part of the wave. It really grounds you in the moment. This was such a great film. Thank you.
Everyone could surf, but some locations were exclusive to the upper class or ali'i. Also, surfboards were difficult to make and expensive to buy, so that was another barrier for those in the lower class.
Why was surfing forbidden? Crazy? It's like forbidding swimming sailing skiing or sledding ice skating? Some of the colonizers were idiots. I hope you can continue this beautiful artform, care for the ocean the land the sky that I believe God created for us.
Surfing started in Africa and South America?? So an Australian Company is telling and changing Polynesian History just so it can sell beach clothes to a wider demographic? Why is a clothing store even mentioning History at all 🧐 seems fishy
Yes, waves are everywhere the ocean touches land but only one culture discovered how to ride a wave. And yes even though Hawaiians never stopped surfing, when the white man started coming to the islands to appreciate and learn more from the core of where they learned about surfing and then share how amazing it is with the rest of the world it was actually stolen. And let’s not forget, when you fall in love with a person with lighter skin you are being colonized by evil Europeans with absolutely no redeeming qualities.
Least someone is born n bred Hawaiian her family been since the 1800s like hemmings and ho family's not rocking up in the 1960s from the mainland in there teens saying I'm a Hawaiian
Wait, what Mahina? "Africa and South America!?! Nooooooooooooooooooo! He Hawaiʻi ka ʻuhane o ka heʻe nalu - the soul of surfing is Hawaiian. By implying that surfing may not be Hawaiian - which IMHO is unproven and unprovable Western anti-Hawaiian propaganda and an example of genocide by deculturalization (the attempt to erase a people by denying or calling into question their history, origin story, social values, cultural traditions and spiritual beliefs) you are inadvertently and through no fault of your own parroting the Western false narrative designed to erase Hawaiians from existence by denying the very things that define us as a people so that we will become Westernized, lose our identity as a people and can become homogeneously assimilated into Western culture. My government, The Royal Hawaiian Monarchy government of The Hawaiian Kingdom, is preparing a number of legal cases in the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) against the US and it's puppet regime, the fraudulent State of Hawai'i, charging them with genocide by denationalization, genocide by deculturalization and, in the ICC, the violation of the declared neutrality of The Hawaiian Kingdom (since 1854) - a serious international war crime. We will also petition the ICJ and the PCA asking the ICJ to acknowledge and uphold our inherent and exclusive right to the title, authority, jurisdiction and mālama 'āina stewardship management rights to all of the 'āina in ko Hawai'i pae 'āina based on the doctrine of The Primacy of Native Land Rights - which is a doctrinal thesis which I have authored and which will be submitted as primary evidence and the primary legal establishing premise of our case in which we will challenge the US claim to the title, authority and jurisdiction of our 'āina hiwahiwa in the PCA as well as challenge the US claim of the legal annexation of The Hawaiian Kingdom in the ICJ and the PCA. Mahina, I know you had only the best intentions in creating this piece. I only hope that you will support my goverment's efforts to restore justice for Hawai'i and make Hawai'i pono once more!

“Your” government was learned from European peoples. You will never kick out the USA All of history people have been fighting and taking over and enslaving. What makes your white ass any less native than Simone that has been there since the 1800s? Am I a Native American because my family has been in the main land for 400 years? Or are we all human on one planet?
Thank you very much for this video!🫶🏽 Motivates me to continue surfing as a beginner and even though I'm older as its so much more than the level of surfing that makes surfing so unique and beautiful❤

As a Surfer for over 50 years I say Thanks so much Hawaii for the gift you shared with the world.

Would love to see more of these about people from the islands. Thoroughly enjoyed this.

As a Coast Guardsman that lived and surfed there in the early 70's I say wonderful tour and thanks for the memories. Malaho and aloha!

Surfing saved my life. A big Mahalo to George Freeth for that. If you're a surfer and aren't familiar with his story you should be

And the woman’s history of Hawaii is amazing!
Please make a video about it. I think it’s very interesting! So much more to the culture and no one ever hears from
The women of the country/state. It’s really cool ! Just so you know, I’m a Indiana Midwest man. This story needs to be told!

I thought the old Hawaiian chiefs wouldn't let non-royalty surf?
Everyone could surf, but some locations were exclusive to the upper class or ali'i. Also, surfboards were difficult to make and expensive to buy, so that was another barrier for those in the lower class.
Beautiful video! But you pronounce hawaii wrong.... And ohau
Imagine telling a Native Hawaiian that they pronounce the name of their own homeland, in their own language, wrong 😂
Thank the USA for PROTECTION!!
Mahina... beautiful woman. No ka oi da kine wahine

HAVE A BABY!
Surfing started in Africa and South America?? So an Australian Company is telling and changing Polynesian History just so it can sell beach clothes to a wider demographic? Why is a clothing store even mentioning History at all 🧐 seems fishy
I may not be correct but I have heard evidence of people surfing in South America (can’t remember if it was Chile or Peru?) that predates Hawaii.
Yes, waves are everywhere the ocean touches land but only one culture discovered how to ride a wave.
And yes even though Hawaiians never stopped surfing, when the white man started coming to the islands to appreciate and learn more from the core of where they learned about surfing and then share how amazing it is with the rest of the world it was actually stolen.
