My dad was Haole/Hawaiian, mom was Japanese. Our O'hana is spread throughout the isalnds. Grew up in Lahaina, mainland when I was 12 , went back in 71 to O'ahu. My buddas and I surfed the North Shore a lot. Back and forth from mainalnd to the islands many times. Last lived in Hilo, surfed Honol'i'i, tomstones (a lot) Bay Front and Puna before it was eaten up.
My brother died about 5 years ago and his wife and I (we're like brudda & sista) decided to move back to the mainland. She does most of the posting on the website.
Hey, how about the blue kanapi? Smaller, but still pack a punch. You stay live in Hilo?

Yes SC, I'm a third generation Portugee![] born and raised in Hilo. Moved around a bit myself after high school. Moved back in 91 and haven't left since.[]

Never was much of a surfer, but did a lot of fishing and diving. We used to go out past Honoli'i in a zodiac at night.. crazy! Caught over 85 sharks over the years and always released them back. You would never catch me in the water today![]

I have had Tigers bump me out in the line up. Once, I was sitting next to a friend and he was bumped so hard he fell off his board.
Only once did a tiger come after us. It was a 10 ft plus day, I got driven down to the bottom pretty hard. I was wearing a wetsuit top because you know how cold the river water gets.
John, the lifeguard said that it was an easy 15ft Tiger. We all made it in. I took my wet suit off and then realized that I hard been cut and had been bleeding for awhile. Everyone was giving me stink eye!!!
Yeah, with as much digging going on in Hilo, I am not surprised you saw a Hilo bottle at the market.

These guys have popped out at me while digging and the first time had me jump about a foot backwards. Since then I don't mind em too much, but they sure aren't attractive critters........known as the Jerusalem Cricket.
