The Rhythm of my paddle. I grew up on a sandy beach called Poka'i Bay. It's located on the west side of the island of O'ahu, in the state of Hawai'i.

For us keiki (children), the beach wasn't just a playground; it was our classroom, our training ground, and the heart of our community. Family memories made, lifelong relationships...

What's even cooler is that not all, but most Hawaiian snowboarders, actually start by surfing ocean waves. Think about it: that same balance, that same flow,...

Cultivating Inner Space and Making Conscious Choices One of the most significant advantages of introducing children to these practices is their ability to help children create...
