Aloha to our valued customers,

go! kicked off the 2012 U.H. Football Season In September by helping some of our valued neighbor island season ticket holders get to weekend UH games at Aloha Stadium.

In November, which is National Hospice Month, the airline is supporting Hospice Hawaii. Both Hospice Hawaii and go! value living life to the fullest, and go! is very pleased to support the good work this organization does in our community.

lAnA‘ieight thingS to do in 48 houRS on LAnA‘i

Getting there: Though most locals or visitors may not immediately think of vacationing to Lana‘i, the quiet island is the perfect getaway destination if you’re looking for serenity and adventure rolled into one. The Maui-Lana‘i ferry is a perfect way of getting to the Pineapple Isle if you’re on Maui. The ferry runs five times per day and during winter months, you’re sure to catch glimpses of whales and spinner dolphins.

1. HOUR 2: Upon arrival, jump right into the action at Lanai Pine Sporting Clays, which features 14 different shooting stations overlook-ing gulches, ravines and expansive views of Lana‘i. You’ll have a blast shooting at clay rabbits skipping across the ground and Hawaiian ducks flying through the air. Lanai Pine Sporting Clays at Lanai Grand Adventures, 808-563-9385, lanaigrandadventures.com.

2. HOUR 4: Rent a UTV from Lanai Grand Adventures and take a trip up Munro Trail to the Maunalei Gulch. Slip and slide across the mud as you travel higher and higher into the clouds.

3. HOUR 7: Check in at The Four Season’s Lodge at Koele. Made entirely of wood, the Lodge is warm and inviting, a cross between a Colorado ski lodge and ‘Iolani Palace. I could sit forever watching the sunset on the hotel’s patio. Play a game of pool or shuffleboard in the Trophy Room before settling in for a quaint dinner at the Terrace, featuring American bistro-style dining.

4. HOUR 22: After breakfast, take the shuttle down to the Four Season’s at Manele Bay. Take a stroll down Manele’s broad, white sand beach. A quick 15-minute hike towards the southeast end, and you’ll arrive at Puu Pehe, known as Sweetheart Rock, where dramatic cliffs accent aquamarine tide pools below.

5. HOUR 24: After a hot day in the glaring sun, lounge by the Four Season’s pool with a refreshing cocktail from the pool bar. Guests stay-ing at the Lodge can make use of all of Manele Bay’s amenities, and vice versa.

6. HOUR 28: Take a walk through the Lodge’s garden tour. Stroll across manicured greens, past the orchid greenhouse, bamboo forest and pagoda structure.

7. HOUR 43: Stroll into Lana‘i City, the central hub of the entire island, for some local-style eats. Café 565 is like the Zippy’s of Lana‘i, offering yummy Korean chicken and sushi platters, as well as gooey calzones. Or pickup breakfast at Canoes, where you can get a fried rice loco moco, or other eclectic options, like fried rice stuffed crepes or deep-fried Oreos.

8. HOUR 44: Channel your inner city slicker and go for a horseback ride led by real cowboys. Meander across the mountainous terrain, and more than likely, you’ll see families of deer leaping through the brush.

MODERN, ANCIENT ART IN KAKA‘AKO

H O P St E x t B Y S O N N y G a N a d e N

Kaka‘ako, a warehouse district in central Honolulu, has been the site of constant change for the last century. The area was filled in through the 19th century, and now a shopping center stands where the sea once crashed, situated between acres of industrial warehouses and the Ala Wai boat harbor. Most recently, the neighborhood has seen an influx of local urban art as a result of landowners becoming open to indige-nous concerns regarding the sacredness of a now commercial site. As construction of the most recent iteration of the Ward shopping center got underway on what is now Auahi Street, workers found the bones of Hawaiians once buried near the shore. Learning from the mistakes of other Honolulu landown-ers that arguably mishandled the ‘iwi kupuna (ancestral re-mains) - resulting in anger and protest - Kaka‘ako developers worked with community members to set aside an appropriate burial site for those bones as they continued to build. As building continued in the summer of 2012, and a new TJ Maxx opened on Auahi Street, local artist Robin Fifita was tapped to paint a mural on the temporary wall fronting the store and construction site. At 29, Fifita led a few family mem-bers and a loose cohort of young Hawaiian artists who call themselves Na Alaka‘i to produce the 455-foot mural, called “The Kaka‘ako For All Community Mural.” “It was daunting, the sheer size of it,” she remembers. Fifita solved the problem of size by breaking the mural into patterns inspired by her background. “My family in Tonga were weav-ers. Whenever I visited as a kid, I’d see all these patterns in the tapa (a designed Polynesian fabric, “kapa” in Hawaiian) that my aunties were working on. So naturally the basic ingredients of my art come from them.” Each diamond in the mural represents an aspect of Kaka‘ako, moving from the ocean to land and streams. The diamond de-sign, along with the intersecting lines, represent the intersec-tion of time and space, and the movement of people, accord-ing to Fifita. “This project was an ode to the past, and an ode to the present,” she explains. When viewing the mural, also respectfully note the burial site facing the parking lot, where for once the past has been honorably buried next to present. “The Kaka‘ako For All Community Mural” is visible on the main thoroughfare of Ward Center on Auahi Street.

Travis Flazer and Mark Pei met on a haunted tour in Honolulu about eight years ago, and the beginnings of their obsession with what Flazer calls “everything vintage, odd and weird” began. The product of this obsession, Hound & Quail, is a quaint shop specializing in what Flazer says is “vintage with a side of curio-creepy home furnishings” and is laden with vintage treasures from all over Hawai‘i and abroad, all of which seem to have their own unique stories. Amongst the many desirable trin-kets, there are vintage pictures deco-rating the walls, brass keys filling small nooks, and oddities from all walks of life, making the experience of visiting Hound & Quail unexpectedly lengthy, as new gems seem to spring out from hiding at every glance. Some things the duo have spent time saving from the “graveyard,” really just the Hound & Quail warehouse, and others have simply been shined up to display their true beauty. Many of the items in their shop are sourced from shopping esca-pades abroad. As a pilot for Hawai-ian Airlines, Pei shops as much as possible on his layovers and has culled merchandise from places like Tokyo and Amsterdam. They also fill their shop by visiting various estate sales around the island. ”The cool thing about having a shop like this,” says Flazer “is that people catch wind of us and our style, and we actually get calls from people telling us they have some-thing they think we might be inter-ested in. We end up getting a lot of our merchandise that way.” For both Pei and Flazer, the most rewarding

aspect of their work is discovering connections between people and the pieces they come to acquire: tales of vintage suitcases inspiring photographers with retro style; cu-rious assortments of brass keys and antique cameras becoming the sty-listic theme of a young couple’s new apartment; long talks with grand-mothers and grandfathers who sim-ply come in to reminisce and find trinkets reminding them of fond memories and times long ago. “The labor of love that it takes to run Hound & Quail, especially as such a part-time hobby can be stressful,” says Flazer, who works as Punahou School’s theater director. “But the people and stories we come across make the experience a re-warding one and something we are definitely trying to grow.” Although the storefront has lim-ited hours, it has gained a large and dedicated following, which com-pels the owners to keep their stock ever-changing and fresh. The quaint curiosity shop is an experience all its own and one that continues to refresh and inspire the vintage life-style in Hawai‘i.

Hound & Quail’s main shop is lo-cated at 1400 Kapiolani Blvd, open Mondays 5–8 p.m. and by appoint-ment. The Hound & Quail pop-up shop is located at Fishcake Gallery, 307 Kamani St. For more informa-tion, visit houndandquail.com.

Guests will also enjoy a dinner featuring deli-cious hand-carved prime rib, fresh island fish with lemon caper butter sauce, grilled island

chicken, and a selection of sides and dessert. Combination packages with afternoon tours and The Legends of Kualoa tickets are available and offer the opportunity for guests to learn of the legends and legacy of Kualoa’s sacred land, and then see the legends come to life through hula kahiko, an ancient style of hula.

High atop Pūpūkea, on the North Shore of O‘ahu, is Sunset Ranch, a 30-acre piece of pris-tine land reminiscent of old Hawai‘i that will remain preserved forever, thanks to landowner Greg Pietsch. Pietsch purchased the old family property in 2005 with the understanding he would have to subdivide it in order to keep just a small portion of it. It was a difficult decision because he knew the land was too special to be subdivided into residential lots. In 2007, everything changed. Pietsch discov-ered certain federally based programs that could potentially help him save the property from im-minent development, specifically, under the fed-eral government’s Farm and Ranch Protection Program. Pietsch learned he could protect his property by placing a conservation easement on title as a perpetual restriction. With the help of the North Shore Community Land Trust and the Trust for Public Land, Pietsch succeeded in selling the development rights to the USDA, the State of Hawai‘i and the City and County of Honolulu. In July 2010, Sunset Ranch officially closed on one of the first such private conservation easements in Hawai‘i, and the ranch was subsequently pro-

tected from development forever. Pietsch remains the sole owner of the land and is dedicated to his mission of using the ranch in ways that help further land conservation and sustainability efforts in Hawai‘i. “I ask myself how I can best use the land to engage the community on these issues in an in-teractive and practical way,” he says. In the works is a 10,000-square-foot environmental learning center that includes a native Hawaiian nursery and aquaponics facility. The native Hawaiian nursery will be in partnership with Waimea Val-ley, a 1,800-acre native preserve that sits adja-cent Sunset Ranch to the south. “We will work together to host hikes into the mauka (moun-tainside) regions of the valley where we plan to educate visitors, eradicate invasive species and reintroduce native species,” says Pietsch. His plan for the aquaponics facility is for the ranch to be-come a certified organic farm where the commu-nity can buy fresh produce, as well as learn about aquaponics and other effective sustainable farm-ing techniques. The goal is to have prototypes and products for purchase. Along with its farming and nursery opera-

tions, Sunset Ranch offers specialized horseman-ship programs for groups like the Boy Scouts and Wounded Warriors, where horses are used in a therapeutic capacity for learning, healing and growth. The ranch also hosts 80-100 special events a year, many for community and non-profit organizations. “We started with events,” says Pietsch, “because it is a way for us to share the natural beauty of this area with the commu-nity and visitors, and most importantly, spread the message on land conservation.” Pietsch is excited for the future of Sunset Ranch and is hopeful his efforts will serve as a platform to help educate other landowners about conservation easements and the importance of sustainability in Hawai‘i.

Kona coffee, known for its rich, bold flavor, has a deep history within Hawai‘i. The first coffee tree was planted in Kona by missionary Samuel Ruggles in the 1820s. These first Arabica trees were taken from cuttings planted on O‘ahu a few years earlier, but coffee and Kona – with its volcanic soil, hard-working family farmers, and perfect climatic conditions – proved to be the perfect match. Working these tropical coffee fields has always been laborious because everything, from plant-ing to picking, is done by hand. Native Hawaiians and Chinese laborers first worked the large cof-fee plantations owned by Caucasians in the late 1800s. During the 1880s and early 1890s, Japa-nese immigrants began their coffee legacy in these same Kona fields. When the world coffee market crashed in

1899, the large plantations shifted to small Japa-nese-owned family farms. Land was divided into small 3-to-5-acre parcels and leased to the labor-ers. By 1910, only Japanese coffee farms were still around, and the first Filipinos arrived to work the coffee farms soon after, picking coffee dur-ing the season and returning to the sugar fields in the spring. This November, the Big Island celebrates its esteemed coffee heritage with the 42nd Annual Kona Coffee Cultural Festival. Recognized as one of the oldest and most successful food festivals in Hawai‘i, the Kona Coffee Cultural Festival honors Kona’s cultural heritage and recognizes the accomplishments of Kona coffee pioneers, farmers and artisans. The festival will host more than 40 special events, including a prestigious cupping competition, coffee-picking activities,

barista challenges, a parade and farm tours. The 42nd Annual Kona Coffee Festival hap-pens November 3–11. To see the full schedule of events or for more information, visit konacoffeefest.com.

During the month of November, Hospice Ha-waii will team up with go!, Hawaii’s low fare airline, and Hilton Resorts Hawaii for an in-novative way to celebrate National Hospice Month. “We want to draw attention to the vital role hospice plays in the local community, and do it in way that shows a side of Hospice Hawaii that is too rarely seen – the positive, uplifting side,” said Kenneth Zeri, president of Hospice Hawaii. Tori Abe, director of marketing and devel-opment, was tasked with coming up with an idea that would increase awareness of Hospice Hawaii while maintaining its message of affirma-tion. Abe hit on the novel concept of a scavenger hunt that would draw people to Hospice Hawaii’s website and reward their involvement with a meaningful giveaway. “I want to do something high interest, high involvement, and of course, fun!” Abe says. Abe called in Wind on Water Communica-

tions and Becker Communications to help her flesh out her idea, and other local businesses, who rallied to Hospice Hawaii’s support with contributions. Thanks to the generosity of go!, Hilton Resorts Hawaii, Dollar and Thrifty car rent-als, the Ready Set Go online / offline scavenger hunt came together. “We are confident the com-munity will do the same and make this campaign a success for everybody we serve,” Abe said. According to Ron Hee, chief marketing offi-cer of go!, “Both Hospice Hawaii and go! value liv-ing life to the fullest, and we are very pleased to support the good work they do.” Whether it’s fly-ing kama‘aina to the neighbor islands or driving them to Hospice Hawaii’s website, it’s all about finding a better way to get people where they need to go."

Everybody is encouraged to participate in the Ready Set Go! promotion during the month of November by visiting hospicehawaii.org.

Winter swells bring massive waves to Hawai‘i’s shores. Thundering waves can be as large as 20 feet (translating to a wave face height of more than 30 feet) and oftentimes even larger. Tow-in surfing, as shown here at Kaua‘i’s Kekaha Beach Park, utilizes a motorized vehicle such as a jetski or helicopter to be able to catch waves that were once thought uncatchable. Waves of this height move at 30 to 40 mph, making it nearly impossible to pick up enough speed to manually paddle into the wave.


Justin Park still remembers the

first drink i ordered from him

three years ago. “it was a vodka

water,” he says. “and you said it

tasted like rotten Potatoes. fun-

ny thing is, i used ChoPin vodka,

whiCh is a Potato-based vodka.”

Moments like these, when I’m surprised by Park’s awareness of his customer and his attention to detail, are frequent; like now, Park is work-ing on cutting tiny, tiki-shaped garnishes out of orange peels for a drink he entered in a mai tai contest on the Big Island. “People don’t go to the bar for the bar,” says Park, who serves as the gen-eral manager of The Manifest, a coffee shop and bar in the heart of Honolulu’s Chinatown “They go

for the bartender experience. Anyone can be back here slinging drinks, but when you get someone who has passion and pride in what they do, that’s when you can get people to try new things.” Park’s passion for what he does is finally starting to pay off. In the span of only a couple of months, he’s won two major beverage competi-tions. This past July, he beat out 12 of O‘ahu’s most talented bartenders in Bombay Sapphire’s Most Imaginative Bartender invitational, spon-sored by GQ Magazine. The mai tai he’s pouring now took home the title of “World’s Best Mai Tai” at this year’s Don the Beachcomber Mai Tai Mix-Off, along with a purse of $10,000. Like the Hawaiian phrase his drink is derived from, Park’s winning Hele Au Mai Tai is like “taking a walk in the clouds” and unlike any of the syrupy ones most people are used to. His

version is based off the original recipe from Don the Beachcomber (who is often credited with inventing the drink), which was made with Cuban rum, Cointreau, Pernod, Agnostura bitters, fresh lime juice and fresh grapefruit juice, making for a drink that’s perfectly balanced, not too sweet or overpowered with rum. And as with most things he does, it seems his success has to do, in part, with his propensity to go the extra mile. Park – who brought his own ice, glassware, and 8-by-10-inch photo of his drink and recipe to give to the judges – recalls a moment before the competition, while setting up next to Dave Newman, one of O‘ahu’s most celebrated barmen: “[Dave] was next to me, and he was cutting his own ice; meanwhile I’m prep-ping my egg whites, my garnishes and my other ingredients. I hear two competitors next to us say, ‘I thought we were making mai tais!’ My number one priority wasn’t to win, but it was just to put out the best drink that I could, like what I try to do on a nightly basis at Manifest.” With its wide variety of cocktails – all of which were developed by Park – the cool China-town bar has become a favorite work/play area for both artists and entrepreneurs alike. Though the recipes can often be complex, the drinks never come off overworked. Park, it seems, can always find a drink to suit one’s mood: a refresh-ing Moscow Mule for a hot afternoon, made with ginger beer, vodka and fresh lime juice poured over crushed ice; a Left Hand Cocktail, made with bourbon, vermouth, Campari and bitters, warm-ing the body thoroughly; or a Turner to follow a stressful day at the office, packing a punch with gin, vermouth, grenadine and orange. Though Park gained experience working up the ranks of Buca di Beppo, even opening his

own bar in 2005, his creativity in cocktail creation comes mostly from exploratory trips to locales known for their innovative cocktails, as well as constantly poring over books about cocktails. “I read and practice, then read some more and prac-tice some more,” he says. “It’s like going to school, learning and slowly building, then when you get an idea of what ingredients go together, you start creating your own.” Still, Park acknowledges the problem of sup-ply and demand and the fact that not everyone wants to try something out of their comfort zone. “I like to keep our menu a good mix of classics and contemporary drinks,” he says. “Not everyone who opens the menu is going to like something that has three different ingredients in it – all of which are booze. You might see some-thing on the menu made with rye, vermouth and bitters and none of that will appeal to you. Then you read the next item underneath it, and it says, ‘guava nectar, flower liqueur and champagne,’ so it just sounds friendlier. But as you build your clientele, they’ll slowly come to trust you, and you can get them to try something they wouldn’t normally get.”

Some might argue that axis deer – with their reddish-brown coats marked by undisciplined rows of white spots – are the most beautiful of all cervids, but on Lana‘i, they are described as invasive, roaming unchecked without any natural predators. The result has been devastating. The continued overgrazing by these animals has left the lands barren, too dry to support vegetation, which in turn has damaged the ocean’s ecosys-tem, the topsoil blanketing and suffocating the surrounding reefs. And so here we are, hunting deer on Lana‘i. I have been losing friends to hunting for years. I’ve suffered an unstoppable hemorrhaging

of my best spearfishing and surfing wingmen. I ridiculed their newfound fixation and dismissed it as a phase. I mean, bow hunting? How fun could wandering around for hours in the mountains be? There are no bears in Hawai‘i, no ever-present sense of wild danger. I’ve been a professional big wave surfer for most of my life, and it takes a lot to wake up my fatigued receptors. I imagine my adrenal glands personified by a weathered, truck-stop diner waitress with a raspy voice, cigarette barely hanging from her lip, with the only evi-dence of past expression being the deep wrinkles in her face, “It’s gonna take more than that, kid.” That being said, I wondered why a few of my buddies had become so obsessed with bow hunting. So, after years of fighting it, I finally gave in – and it didn’t take long for me to understand their fixation. I could have never anticipated my body’s reaction to being face-to-face with an animal you’ve just stalked for hours. My heart felt like it was going to explode from my chest, and with each new beat I could see my peep sight mimicking the rhythm. My first attempts were nothing short of pathetic, but needless to say I was hooked after that. Excursions to new hunting grounds have brought me to places that I never knew existed in Hawai‘i, and I’ve developed a new apprecia-

tion for every detail of my environment. The beauty of it really is in the details. A slight change in wind direction causes you to look at your surroundings completely differently. I took the plunge and got myself a brand new Mathews Heli-M bow, the best on the market. This was not going to be a phase, as I assumed previously. When the opportunity arose for me to take a trip to Lana‘i with a couple of friends, I jumped on it, knowing I wasn’t nearly prepared for my first axis deer hunt. My hunt-ing partners happened to be two of the best big wave surfers in the world, Dave Wassel and Shane Dorian. They’ve been hunting together for a while now, but this was my first time chasing something other than giant waves with them. Usually, the only time the three of us are together is in some inhospitable ocean that wants to kill us, so this was like a vacation of sorts. Everything about this trip was new to me. I’ve spent my entire life in Hawai‘i, but this would be my first time ever setting foot on the island of Lana‘i. We were invited by Lanai Grand Adven-tures to hunt on their acres of prime, axis deer territory. Our program was the same for the three days we were there: Wake up at 4 a.m., roll out of The Lodge at Koele’s five-star bed, and get dropped off to the barn that served as our staging area. Typically we would be hunting within 20 minutes of our alarms going off. Our guides, Cody and Eddie, would be waiting for us with a game plan for the day. It was incredible how well they knew

the animals and the lay of the land. For my first lesson in bow-hunting axis deer, Eddie suggested that hiding in a tree stand would be the best way to start off. As the sun began to peek above the horizon, the hill directly opposite us began to come alive with animals. Surely I would be making my first kill that day. Then suddenly, a doe in the bushes directly behind us gave a high-pitched bark, alerting the deer in the surrounding area of our presence. Their sense of smell is abso-lutely amazing. Any gust of wind that wafts your scent their way sends them flying. My first morning proved unsuccessful. Most of my time was spent picking Eddie’s brain for as much information as possible about archery and the animals. My counterpart, however, was more successful. Wassel had taken a doe, which was already being dressed. Our after-noons were spent lounging around the lodge, going on horseback rides or shooting clay pigeons, at which my girlfriend smoked us all. Late in the afternoon, we’d be on the hunt again, this time waiting for the deer to move from their midday bedding areas to feed. Eddie was hell bent on getting me in front of a big buck after the slow morning. He didn’t disap-point. After a 50-yard commando crawl, I found myself 40 yards away from a monster buck that would have been the animal of a lifetime for someone that had been hunting their whole life. It was getting dark fast, and I was at full draw trying desperately to find the animal through my peep sight. I was shaking like a


leaf and eventually had to back down because the animal moved behind some brush. I didn’t have any luck that day, but what an intense experience. It was well past dark when we pulled up to the barn and already beer and stories were waiting. Shane made it back earlier and had scored a huge buck. It’s amazing how one day of hunting axis deer can give you so much more appreciation for the skill it takes to land one. As we were admiring Shane’s animal, Wassel pulled up with another doe. It was be-coming more and more obvious that I was going to have to put some time into this to get to the level my friends were at. I took notes on how to clean the animals and watched as Bobby, the meat expert, quickly and cleanly separated the cuts. By the time we left, he had all our meat vacuum-sealed and separated, rib racks, sausage, steaks and ground venison – all of which tasted amazing. By the end of the trip, I still hadn’t made a kill, despite getting close to some giant bucks. For some reason I wasn’t that bummed though. I felt that I needed to earn it, put in more time. There had been plenty of chanc-es to take trophy animals with a rifle (Western

Lanai Adventures offers rifle hunts as well), but of course I wanted to do it the hard way. Now, I have a foam deer target in my backyard that serves as an arrow pincushion. I can’t wait to go back.

Lanai Grand Adventures has hunting tours available for all levels of experience. If guns are your thing, Lanai Grand Adventures offers one of the most challenging sporting clay sites in the world, featuring 14 different stations overlook-ing dramatic landscapes and deep gulches. They also offer a variety of bold adventures exploring areas of Lana‘i you never thought existed. Climb into the clouds driving top-of-the-line utility terrain vehicles or on horseback, led by real-life paniolo cowboys.

Hō‘ea, meaning “to arrive” is the feeling that overcomes you as you turn into the quiet resort town of Kapalua, Maui. Continuing on down the long tree-lined road, cradled by champion-ship golf courses and stunning ocean views, Kapalua takes your breath away. Spanning over 22,000 lush acres, the majesty and serenity of Northwest Maui is complement-ed by a home away from home experience at the Kapalua Villas & Kapalua Spa. The experi-ence here is further enhanced by a visit to the world-renowned Kapalua Spa, which all guests have complimentary access to, and where the experience of relaxation and transformation begins. There is a buzz brewing throughout the islands about the spa’s most recent endeavor: an ambitious partnership with nearby Maui Brew-ing Company. Kapalua Spa and Maui Brewing Company have teamed up to further blur the line of what is good for the body and what is good for the soul. They believe that this should be one in

the same and have done so with the infusion of beer bath treatments into their spa menu. Creative partnerships and innovative treatments such as these, coupled with state-of-the-art facilities and sophisticated design, are just some of the reasons for the Kapalua Spa’s latest achievement as the 2012 World Luxury Spa win-ner for the “Best Destination Spa in the USA.” Outdoors, a large tub cut from a single piece of granite and large enough for two awaits beer spa enthusiasts. Steeping in the tub is a giant tea bag, filled with spent grain and the natural non-alcoholic ingredients of beer that promote healthy skin and nourish the hair. An aromatic pineapple beer is added to your bath and you are left to soak and relax your mind. The experience is further enriched with a selection of exfoliating bath salts blended with stout and honey beers to apply at your leisure. As you soak in this tropical outdoor oasis, a non-alcoholic pineapple beer is served in a growler for your drinking pleasure, and fresh beer bread

with honey mustard butter is brought to you tubside. The experience is deliciously euphoric and definitively Maui brewed, but it’s not over yet. The ritual continues with an incredible hour-long massage, as beer-infused oils fill the air with scents of macadamia, coconut and honey, making for a spa experience that you will surely be buzzing about.

Hawai‘i has the best of everything a paradise has to offer. Lush, green mountainsides and forests, flawless beaches, an unspoiled countryside, along with a beautiful cityscape that stands in stark contrast to the surrounding slopes and palm trees that dot the streets. These unique characteristics are what make Hawai‘i prime real estate for television shows and film. Everything from Avatar to 50 First Dates, Jurassic Park, Godzilla and the Pirates of the Caribbean franchises have been filmed on location, here in Hawai‘i nei.

While one can simply appreciate the beauty of the islands by car, there’s yet another way to experience the charm of our islands from a different perspective: by seaplane. Island Seaplane Tours has been in service for 16

years, with highly experienced pilot and owner Pat Magie helming the flight controls of their DeHavilland “Beaver” aircraft. Magie has clocked in about 32,000 hours of flight time in seaplanes, so passengers can expect a perfect takeoff, along with breathtaking views of many of the major landmarks on O‘ahu and sightings of many of the aforementioned movie locations.

There are two different flight options one can book: a 30-minute flight for $149 per person, and a one-hour flight for $269 per person. There are also air tours that come with catered dinner or pupu party options, which includes a complimentary van service that will pick you and your party up from your Waikīkī hotel. Sure, you may have experienced all that O‘ahu has to offer, but have you observed it from above?

For more info or to book a tour, contact Debbie Magie at 808-836-6273 or visit islandseaplane.com.

honolUlU MaRathon

This year’s Honolulu Marathon is gearing up to be the biggest race yet, with as many as 50 percent more run-ners than in 2011, according to organizers. The 26-mile race starts at Ala Moana Beach Park, loops through Hawai‘i Kai and ends at the Kapi‘olani Park Bandstand. One of the largest marathons in the country, the Hono-lulu Marathon is popular with both experienced and first-time runners and something many look forward to every year.

Q: what types of identity theft and fraudulent

crimes target online shoppers?

a: Besides the more traditional online scams involving

fraudulent products and unscrupulous sellers, online

shoppers can become victims of two basic types of

identity theft. In an account takeover, confidential

information about a shopper’s bank account is stolen

and used to make unauthorized charges. New account

fraud involves the theft of personal information to

open fraudulent accounts in the shopper’s name.

Q: what precautions should be taken when

shopping online?

a: All software, especially security products, Web

browsers and plug-ins, PDF readers, and operating

systems, should be up-to-date and set to update auto-

matically, and security scans should be run on a regular

basis. Also, use your bank’s online banking to view your

real-time account balances and track your account

activity in a secure environment to look for fraudulent

activity. And take advantage of the identity protec-

tion services offered by your bank to help protect your

identity and your transactions.

Q: what are signs that a site is fraudulent?

a: Fraudulent sites can be difficult to detect, as many

phony sites may look professional. Research the seller

through reliable sources such as the Better Business Bu-

reau or the State Attorney General and routinely review

a seller’s rating and reviews even if you are a return

customer. Never click on links in unexpected e-mails.

Always call or visit the vendor’s web site directly using

contact information you know to be correct.

Q: is it safe to download coupons and scan

QR codes?

a: A legitimate online coupon can be a great way to

get additional savings on purchases. If you’re uncertain,

however, don’t click on the link. It could lead to a virus

or malware that could infect your system and put your

personal information at risk. The same is true for QR

codes; they’re just a shortcut to reach a web site like a

link. In general, since there’s much more online shop-

ping during the holiday season, online fraud increases

in the hope that the shopper may not detect it, so be

smart and shop safe!

Aku (Skipjack Tuna)

S K i P J a C K T u N a , W H i C H i S F a M i l i a R T O i S l a N d F a M i l i e S a S a K u , H a S a S i G N i F i C a N T P l a C e i N T H e H i S T O R y O F H a W a i ‘ i .

At times, the ocean schools were so large that there were

enough fish caught yearly in Hawai‘i to support a cannery

and a fishing fleet designed specifically for catching aku.

Aku is enjoyed in many of the same ways that all tunas

in Hawai‘i are. Select pieces of the fish are served raw in

dishes such as sashimi and poke. Seared recipes have aku

served over salad greens. And, of course, there’s always use

for all the small pieces of cooked aku in everyone’s favorite:

tuna sandwiches. Ask any island family who grew up catch-

ing and eating aku and you may be surprised to learn that

the favorite part of the aku for many is the bones, more

precisely, the meat of the fish closest to the bones. After

an aku is filleted, often the bones left on the carving board

are seasoned with salt and pepper and thrown on the open

grill. Once these bones are grilled or fried, the small pieces

of meat missed by the fillet knife are then picked off the

bones and enjoyed. In local sports bars and diners, you will

often see listed on the menu, “grilled aku bone.”

a K u P O K e

INGREDIENTS:

1 lb. aku

2 tbsp. Shiracha sauce

4 tbsp. Maui onion, diced

1⁄2 tsp. Hawaiian rock salt

2 tsp. soy sauce

2 tbsp. fresh cilantro, minced

1⁄4 c. ogo farm raised seaweed, minced

Cut aku into 1⁄2-inch cubes , mix all ingredients gently

to avoid fish sticking to itself , refrigerate for 30 minutes

before serving.

Serves 4 appetizer portions

‘All around the Hawaiian Island chain there is only one place that sticks out in my mind as such an unbelievably perfect ocean playground and it’s clearly Kailua Bay.’ –Devin Moody, Manager, Kailua Sailboards & Kayaks. Its crescent shape, miles of white sand and tranquil, turquoise waters are framed by some of the most impressive waterfall carved mountain’s on earth. ‘I mean you have surfing all over Hawaii, and that’s the rightful king of sports in the Hawaiian culture. But to get waves you need a shallow reef and a powerful current, things you don’t necessarily want when you’re learning to stand up paddle or kayak.’ Kailua has been a waterman’s paradise for a long time, starting with the Hobbie Cat sailors, ripping through the bay in the 1970’s. Then came the invention of something

called the ‘Sail-Board’, later to be dubbed the ‘Wind-Surfer’ and it hit Kailua Beach like falling coconuts. Dozens of colorful neon sails could be seen flying through the bay and laid out on the beaches during the heyday of the sport, from the early 1980’s through the 1990’s. By this time kite-surfing came on the scene and quickly nudged its elbow into the gut of windsurfers, making room for its high flying free stylers to dominate Kailua’s ocean landscape.

While all the flashy sails had been jockeying for everyone’s attention over the last 30 years, there was a constant, cool and notably ‘Hawaiian’ method of enjoying Kailua’s turquoise water-park . . . paddling. The ancient lifestyle of the

Hawaiian outrigger canoeing held strong and spread into a budding new generation of canoers, kayakers and stand up paddlers not to be taken for chumps. Today’s landscape is a collage of Kailua’s history with at least ten different sports being enjoyed on any given day. With surfbreaks, snorkel spots, windsurfers and a variety of paddlers, heading to the beautiful twin islands, it’s a virtual theme park for the adventurous at heart.

Another constant in Kailua’s watersports scene has been a little beach shop with a long history in the community. Nearly all of Kailua’s ocean adventurers seem to gear up at Kailua Sailboards & Kayaks, before they hit the water. ‘Because we’re the sole watersports shop by Kailua Beach, I’ve

noticed a buzz of activity that started about 7 years ago and has made working at our shop exciting ever since. Whether people are competitive level athletes or just stoked to paddle the family out to the offshore islands, they are really excited, and that’s fun to see. I see it on the faces of our guides and instructors too; they get to take a group of people kayaking or stand up paddling out to a beautiful island, surrounded by sea-turtles and tropical fish, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, how good of a life is that!’

Kailua Sailboards & Kayaks will take you on their 4-Hour Guided Kayaking Adventure ($179/adult 13 and up), to the Mokulua Island bird sanctuaries. Tours are year round but can be more

challenging/exciting during the winter months (Nov-Feb). Their 2-Hour Guided Kayaking Excursion ($129/Adult 13 and up; $114 Children 8-13 years old) is better for the total novice, being about half the distance to paddle to Flat Island. Both tours Include Lunch, Snorkeling, Hotel Pick-Up, Lockers and Showers; Reservations Required.

Haleakalā Observatory, located on the island of Maui, is one of the most important observing sites in the world. According to the University of Hawai‘i’s Institute For Astronomy, because of the remarkable clarity, dryness, and stillness of the air, and its location above one-third of Earth’s atmosphere, as well as the limited light pollution, the summit of Haleakalā is one of the most sought-after locations in the world for ground-based telescopes.
