Hey everyone! Earlier this month I was able to work with the Travel Channel on a show called “Top Ten Locals List” – it was such a blast! Soooo how did it all come about? A friend recommended me to the host who was choosing between a few people – something I did not… Read More
I first saw Hamboards on “Shark Tank”… I’m a surfer so it definitely peaked my interest. Their story is so compelling… Pete Hamborg – “Dad” – is a firefighter in Huntington Beach. He has five sons who are all surfers – AND lifeguards. These guys save lives for a living and that’s awesome! Dad… Read More
I’ve been very lucky to have the opportunity to not only cover stories about the Five-0 cast & crew but I’ve had the unique opportunity to be on the red carpet year after year (See Blog: Behind the Scenes of Hawaii Five-0)… I don’t take those experiences and opportunities for granted because I know… Read More
I can hardly believe it’s already the fifth season of Hawaii Five-0! I was at the very first premiere working for Hawaii News Now … no one knew what to expect. Doing a red carpet premiere for a TV show is unusual and none of us had ever done one before! lol We were all designated… Read More
Dear Jackson, Okay, it’s not quite a week but it already feels like it and you haven’t even left yet. Or did we leave you? … No one is leaving anyone! We’re all just taking the opportunities and experiences that come our way and living life to the fullest! … Right? As you… Read More
This was our first time doing a snow vacation with our little guy and we were nervous. International travel is hard enough but we were exposing him to cold weather, altitude and snow for the very first time. The plane ride actually isn’t too bad! Pretty much the same as a typical flight to… Read More
Buffalo Keaulana is a living legend. A true “waterman” in every sense of the word. Surfer, body surfer, spear fisherman, navigator, lifeguard and perpetuator of Hawaiian culture. Uncle Buffalo is a living legend. I could list his accolades or you can just read them HERE - since that would probably take me all day! In his… Read More
With a laugh, Helena Suehiro describes the experience, “It’s crazy!” Her mother’s Haiku house has been targeted not once, but twice by hungry honey bees. The house was built in the 90′s and doesn’t have insulation. The space between the walls in the living room became the perfect home for some honeycomb. Helena… Read More
This was one of my favorite assignments when I was working at the news. My boss told me he wanted me to go up in a helicopter… I’m afraid of heights so I was a little wary of the assignment. I accepted the “challenge” and headed to the airport with my photographer Brenton Awa… Read More
Instead of a eulogy, her best friends were asked to share about Sarah in photos and happy memories… We were silly girls… always side by side… whispering and giggling. Twenty years of friendship… birthday parties, gymnastics, plays, May Day, proms, graduation… you name it. I don’t remember a time, when Sarah’s big bright… Read More

Jackson and I went surfing with Pénélope while she was here with us (she’s our French exchange student). It was a small day at “The Cove” – perfect for surfing with baby. It was just our third time out on my longboard together. For other surfer mamas out there – the water wings work… Read More
