Hula is Hawaii’s soul expressed in beautiful motion. All throughout the islands you can find halau’s (group of dancers/students) dancing to entertain the public, but the movements and gestures performed by the dancers are just the surface. Hula is more than just dancing; it is a serious endeavor and a way of life in which many students and teachers dedicate their lives to hula.

Underneath this surface is a cultural system that celebrates creation and procreation, a pantheon of gods and their descendants on earth, mythological and legendary explainations, historical events and places, ancestral beings and natural manifestations of life forces that nurture and sustain Hawaiian people. Hawaiian’s like ancient Greek, had a pantheon of gods and myths describing the super naturals. Cultural stories about the gods and historical events passed on in the oral tradition by oli (chants) and mele (songs) which are accompanied by music and dance. It is similar to modern poetry; utilizing rhyme, hidden meanings and multi-leveled symbolism, unifying repetition, anger, joy, grief, embarrassment, honor and humor.

It is said that a goddess was the first to dance hula. Pele (the fire goddess) had a younger sister named Hi’iaka. Hi’iaka had a best friend named Hopoe and were always together. They both loved the deep mysterious forest and knew the forest was older than any being they knew. When the 2 best friends travelled throughout the forest

they were always respectful and kind to both animals and plants that lived there. They admired the wonderful forest for its beauty and old wise age. While visiting the forest they would sit for hours listening to the tree branches creak and sway with the wind, watch the birds flutter about and listen to the soothing sounds of the streams. It was as if the forest had a language of its own. The two best friends would always mention how they wish they could understand the language the forest spoke. The forest being so old must be very wise and could teach them many things.

Laka, the goddess of the forest was very impressed by the two friends who had such a deep love for the forest and were always so respectful when entering and never harmed a thing. Laka decided to grant them their wish. In a dream one night Hopoe found she could understand the forest. The swaying branches told a story to which the wind set a melody. The stones rolling in the streams were like drum beats keeping the rhythm.

Hopoe awoke the next morning and shared her dream with Hi’iaka. Now they were able to tell the stories of the forest by movement of their hands and bodies. Hula was then shared with others. It was because of Hi’iaka and Hopoe that we are able to appreciate Hawaii’s soul and learn what the forest knows.

Hula shows are always a site to see and now knowing the meaning on how hula came to be will be far more beautiful and touch your inner soul.

Hula is Hawaii’s poetry

The Art of Survival Fishingby Leila Maghanoy

In old Hawaii, being a fisherman was an honorable profession. It was handed down to the boys in a family by their grandparents. It was a profession that everyone would want to perfect for the sake of survival.Hawaiians lived with a special connection

with nature and the universe. The Hawaiians invented the term “Malama ke Kai.” Which means take care of the sea; protect and conserve the sea. We the people of Hawaii live on a take only what you need system. A system invented by the Hawaiians and passed on to all those who live on the Hawaiian Islands.Growing up on Oahu my ohana (family) lived

and breathe the Aloha spirit. My grandfather, “Pako” Maghanoy was a great fisherman. My father, Terry Maghanoy was another great fisherman and I was willing to learn the “art of survial”-fishing. I was a young girl growing up who saw fishing as a beautiful form of art. My father, Terry caught everything you could want to eat: Kala, Moi, Aholehole, Manini, Papio, Opihi, seven-eleven crabs, lobster (only when in season), Tako (octopus), slipper lobster and the list goes on. He taught me how to lay net with the inner tube and several nets, spear fish with a 3 prong spear, throw net and most of all how to respect the ocean. The ocean is beautiful and full of life just like my teacher is. Terry Maghanoy still fishes to this day and when I can I take his grandchildren to his fishing grounds to see the fisherman in action. I highly suggest taking a trip to the infamous North Shore of Oahu and observe this great teacher at work. It’s a sight to see

a fisherman and his throw net.At the right time the fisherman

will throw his net into the sea, and the net will open up like a spider web and land in the water tangling up the fish it touches. It is repeated until the fisherman has enough fish to eat,to share and enough for his survival.

My grandfather doesn’t fish as much as he use to because over the years of getting older his eye

sight has weakened. I find my father always teaching someone new the

art of fishing. Terry knows the importance of sharing the knowledge-”If you give a man a fish he’ll eat for a day, but teach a man to fish he’ll eat forever.” As for me my fishing days are not over! My children are at the age where what we teach them will be a lesson learned forever. Full of curiosity and yearning for knowledge of the wonders of the world. we will teach them about marine life and the importance of only taking what we need. No over fishing, no waste of life and protecting the ocean as much as we can.Like the old Hawaiian ways, our ohana too believe in living in harmony with nature and respecting all mankind. Treat people how you want to be treated and spread the Aloha

as much as we can. Even though we are part of the United States, we are still an island chain and we need to remember our roots. More people mean more mouths to feed and limited resources. So I ask kindly to keep in mind that respect for nature is a must. I ask that when fishing, fish only what one needs and do your part to keep our oceans clean. Makama Ke Kai and Peace be with you!

Oahu has 112 miles of shoreline and there is a beach to satisfy every kind of beach goers interest. From those who just want to sunbathe, snorkel, surf, kayak, swim, make sand castles, or just see sunsets, Oahu’s shore-line has it all. The people of Oahu thrive on the beach culture at all hours of the day, if you haven’t already noticed slippers are a must along with your swimsuit.

Oahu’s coastline has 63 beach parks but not all have lifeguards on duty regularly. Most have restrooms, shower facilities and parking. All beaches in hawaii are open to the public. Even in exclusive residential areas and at beach side resorts, public access to the shore must be provided. This beach guide will help you find the best beach to accommodate all interest. Here’s some of my favorite beaches to take the whole family, but to tell you the truth all of the beaches here in Hawaii are beautiful! Check with lifeguards for information on conditions of the water, and obey all posted signs. When in doubt don’t go out and most of all never turn your back to the ocean! Always put sunscreen on to protect yourself from the suns rays. 30 SPF and higher is recommended.

Waimea Bay - North Shore, OahuActivities: bodyboarding, bodysurfing, shortboard surfing, big-wave surfing, stand-up paddle boarding, swimming, walking/running on the sand, and sun-bathingAmenities: parking, showers, restrooms, lifeguards, and picnic areasWaimea Bay is a beautiful beach to take the family for an all day at the beach event. Bring a cooler of refreshments,and food and an umbrella would be good. The only trees are on the grassy area near the picnic areas and it is a far walk to the shore. There is a big rock in the bay which is known to have locals jump rock. There is a sign that states no jumping, but know there are all dif-ferent heights to jump off of. Please don’t jump head first because there are shallow spots and people have died from jumping off incorrectly and landing on their head. It is fun when done correctly and each jump has a different adrenaline rush. The bay is beautiful all day and great place to swim the distance of the bay. Waimea Bay when walking into the water has a drop off, it gets deep fast and at times the shoreline is huge and dangerous. If there are waves check with lifeguards to insure everyones safety.

Laniakea “Turtle Beach” - North Shore, OahuActivities: bodyboarding, shortboarding, longboarding, sunbathing, and honu (turtle) watchingAmenities: Honu (turtle) GuardiansLaniakea, also known as Turtle Beach is the place where you can see the giant Hawaiian sea turtles basking in the sand. This beach is great from those who want to do some ocean sports, walk the long shoreline, or stop for a photo oppor-tunity with the honus (turtles). It is against the law to touch or harm the honus (turtles) and to insure everyone obeys the law there are Honu Guardians to regu-

late the beach. They can give you more information about each honu and are volunteering their services there so be kind. There is not much of a swimming area, but lots of sand to sunbathe and make sand sculptures.

Sunset Beach - North Shore,OahuActivities: bodyboarding, bodysurfing, shortboard surfing, longboard surfing, stand-up paddle board, swimming, sunbathing, and biking on the bike path along the beachAmenities: Beachfront parking, bike path, showers and restrooms across the street and lifeguardsSunset Beach is an infamous beach where many surf competitions are held. It has nice sand, great waves and beautiful sunsets. When the waves are pump-ing, it’s a site to see all the surfers catch nice waves. The sand is great for sand castle making and sunbathe all day. It is like a boardwalk beach scene. Most locals hang out there during sunset to view the sunset with some beer and poke and the ladies sunbathe and walk the beach regularly. It is a great beach to take pictures and get your feet wet.

It is busy and more on the windy side, but it is great for many marine sports. There are 2 offshore islands people visit by boards, kayaks, canoes or small boats. They are protected bird sanctuaries and are interesting to see. The

water on this side is calm and a great beach for the children to play in the water. Shallow shoreline and abso-lutely nice to take a dip in the water and take some great photos.

If you follow Farrington Highway till the

ends (on he west side of Oahu) you have reached Yokohama Bay. It has great tide pools for kids to swim with no worries and great sand for play. The mountains behind you are amazing and the view is amazing. Not much of a swimming area at the end, but near the lifeguard towers has more swimming spots. It is neat to take a stroll and see Ka’ena Point State Park. Back in the day the road use to connect and people were able to drive to the other side of Ka’ena Point towards Mokuleia.

HENNA TATTOOS FROM THE NORTH SHORE OF OAHU

A Lot of us get that urge to get a tattoo, but many of us don’t get a tattoo for the fear of pain, or we really don’t know if we want that particular tattoo forever, or we just can’t get one without consent from our parents (who would never allow it because we are still a minor-under 18). Now there is a natural solution for all of the above problems. Get a Henna Tattoo from the talented, all around beautiful person Angela Cruz. She has done outstanding works on all age groups and all places of the body. One of her most recent Henna tattoo was done

on a man’s bald head to complete is new transformation into a new chapter in his life. Angela is an aritist that will even give a little blessing before beginning her tattooing. Her work is unique and will last about week for all to admire. So what is Henna?

Henna is a naurally potent dye that is derived from the Lawsonia Intermis shrub. The young leaves of the plant are dried, crushed, and mixed with lemon juice, black tea or coffee, and essential oils then applied as a paste for a temporary staining or “tattooing”

of the skin. Although it is widely known to be used for its cosmetic purposes of coloring hair and painting designs upon the body, traditionally the hands and feet, it is also known for its medicinal and spiritual benefits. As medicine, it has anti-inflammatory as well as anti-fungal properties, and can be used to treat ringworm as well as skin diseases. On a spiritual level, henna is believed to bring the abundance and benevolence of the universe.

Research has shown that the use of Henna was originally from Egypt. Known as Privet, It has been found on the hands and feet of mummies. It has since made its way through North Africa, India, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia as a sacred art form performed by and usually for women for various ceremonial occassions including bridal showers and coming of age ceremonies.

Henna designs vary throughout the different cultures. Indian henna is known to have very delicate and intricate patterns whereas Arabic henna tends to use more bold and flowery designs.

Whatever henna desires you may have, be sure to call Angela Cruz of Kalamkari Henna at (808) 352-5672, whether you are on the North Shore, or any other part of Oahu. Outer-island calls are available as well. Angela is available for birthday parties, baby showers, belly hennas for pregnant mamas, bridal showers, ceremonial occassions, graduation parties, corporate events or any other reason! Just give her a call and she can work it out. Aloha and Malama Pono!

Garrett McNamara is a citizen of the world. He walks the land as an ordinary man, but what he does in the ocean is anything but ordinary. At a time when big-wave riding has reached new heights of popularity, a number of surfers have stepped to the front. None of them can surpass McNamara’s combination of talent, courage and thirst for the unknown.Over the past five years, McNamara has been on a mission to catch the biggest, best waves on the planet – and he has succeeded mightily. It’s a tricky business, trying to predict the exact time, location and weather patterns of the most rideable swells. Whether it’s Tahiti, South America, the freezing waters of Northern California or the tropical paradise of his native Hawaii, McNamara and his tow-in partner, Ikaika Kalama, have shown an uncanny ability to

be at the right place at the right time.The Tahitian spot known as Teahupo’o has surpassed all others, even the famed Banzai Pipeline, as the heaviest shallow-water spot in the world.McNamara has claimed some of the biggest waves, and most hollow tubes, even ridden there. Oahu’s North Shore is his daily playground, featuring some of the most attractive outer reefs in the realm of tow-in surfing.Peahi, the fabled “Jaws” on Maui, is the new epicenter for giant surf, and McNamara’s epic ride in 2003 remains the best successfully-ridden barrel in history. He always has an eye on Cortes Bank, the rarely ridden break some 100 miles off the coast of California, and it was typical of McNamara’s sense of timing that he rode Sandy Beach, on the East side of

Oahu, during a shockingly big swell in the summer of 2004. Known for its six-foot, neck-snapping beachbreaks, the area came alive with wave faces up to 35 feet - and there was McNamara, along with Kalama, riding the place alone.McNamara wasn’t brought up in big surf. He didn’t surf at all until he was 12 years old, moving from Massachusetts to Northern California in his youth. Raised by a single mother, Garrett and his brother, Liam, were self-described “skateboarding freaks” in the melting-pot culture of Berkeley, during the Dog Town era. When the family moved to Hawaii in 1978, Garrett was the only haole kid in his class at Waialua elementary school on the island of Oahu. Coming from a rough urban environment, he fit in real quick.There were a number of future-great surfers around Waialua, but as a surfing late bloomer, McNamara struggled through the waves of Haleiwa in his early teens. Just up the road, world-class surfing was taking place daily at Pipeline and Sunset, while “my friends and I were going straight on the whitewater,” he said. “The Sunset crew would come down to Haleiwa and just surf circles around us.”In the meantime, Liam, the younger brother, was set on a career in baseball. Little did anyone know that by the mid-1990s, Liam would be one of the best surfers ever at Pipeline – invariably catching that one epic wave every one waits for - while Garrett became both dominant and versatile. Over time, very few North Shore surfers have routinely surfed big Pipeline, Sunset and Waimea, adjusting effortlessly to such wildly different conditions. McNamara is

among them.Because Pipeline is the showcase for world-class surfing, Liam became the first star of the family. Big-wave riding wasn’t fashionable at the time Garrett joined other North Shore hardcores at Waimea, and Sunset’s distant reefs make it difficult for individual performances to be noticed from the beach. On the days Garrett did venture down to Pipeline, he blew minds with his fearless backside attack. His performance in local contests qualified him as a professional surfer, but he wasn’t in it for the money. McNamara has always surfed because he loves it. The end result was an invitation to the Eddie Aikau contest - surfing’s most prestigious event. “That’s the biggest honor you can have, surfing Waimea with a few of your friends in Eddie’s name,” he says. “Waimea was my proving ground, it’s where I live. I’ve always trained there, jumping off the rocks, diving the caves, running with rocks underwater.” (It’s where I will rest in peace at the end)Please word proper I belive in god and I know I will go to heaven god willing.McNamara’s charging spirit was so far ahead of surfing’s mainstream, only a few contemporaries – even the touring pros – could relate. Garrett’s favorite style of training is surfing Sunset and Pipe with no leash, usually with an oversized, hard-to-ride board. The horrendous wipeouts never seemed to bother him, and (he) gets incredible training on those long swims to the beach while wave after wave pounds on (his) head.McNamara became interested in tow-surfing the moment it (started) in the early 90s,

and it is now the sport he lives for. When the inaugural World Cup of Tow Surfing went off at Jaws in 2002, offering the biggest surf and the largest first-place prize in the history of competition, McNamara won the contest and established his place in the tow-in world. Paired with Ikaika Kalama in the Jaws Tow-In World Cup Expression Session the following year, he took first place again, proving it wasn’t a fluke.Most surfers, even the great ones, have a size limit of some kind, McNamara knows No Fear (one of his sponsors, conveniently), and he has no limit. In era when surfers seek out the mythical 100-foot wave, McNamara says, “I’m more interested in at least a 120-footer, so there are no doubts about it.”The reason? Pure love. McNamara in it for the fun, which explains his utter lack of hesitation in big surf. And while he is known for taking off on anything, no matter what the size, he has never felt a sense of power over the ocean. “I will never challenge any wave,” he says. “I like to compliment the waves, the best they can be ridden - riding as deep as possible and making it. I will challenge any man, at any wave, any time, but I will never challenge a wave.”Always a threat on Hawaii’s summertime paddleboard-race circuit, Garrett has directed the annual Quiksilver Molokai-to-Oahu paddle race for the past 10 years.He proved that he hadn’t abandoned paddle surfing when he was invited to the 2005 Maverick’s contest and surfed the place with his usual abandon.

Tow-surfing, however, is the focus of his life. Sea Doos, footstraps and 5-to-6-foot boards are a surfer’s only avenue into the world’s biggest waves. He and Kalama - one of the great underground “soul” surfers of Hawaii and a fabulous big-wave rider in his own right - tend to enlist the same sponsors when it comes to equipment, right down to the trailers, rescue sleds, wetsuits, life jackets and tow ropes. As such, the two are always on the same page. Kalama often gets short-changed on publicity, but as a true Hawaiian, he doesn’t mind; for him, it’s all about the experience and knowledge. But the pair’s exploits have lifted McNamara into the pantheon. (Garrett is the first one to tell you Ikaika surfs better then him and no one comes close to his relentless front side, tail slide snap on giant waves!!!)When you’ve become part of surfing lore in a global manner, no single wave is going to stand out. McNamara’s shining moment, though, had to be during the classic Jaws session of November 2003. That’s the day he pulled into an indescribably large tube, maybe 60 feet on the face, and came out - to this day, surfing’s definitive tube ride.As we learn from his website (www.garrettmcnamara.com), the man has much to be thankful for. He has been married 11 years to Connie, and they have two children: 11-year-old Ariana Kaimana and 9-year-old Titus Waimea. McNamara’s story is one of hard work, self-belief, and making the most of God-given gifts. As he has shown many times in the world of surfing, dreams do come true.
