Videos of Hawaiian Surfing

Welcome to our collection of videos of Hawaiian surfing. We see surfing as being at the center of the Hawaii’s relationship with the ocean and its all-consuming ethos. The kaona (hidden) meaning of “he’e nalu” (wave-sliding) touches upon a parallel universe that’s replete with meaning that most have little acquaintance with.
