Hope everyone had a "HAPPY FATHER'S DAY"! We were over in Maui filming and got some awesome footage with Hawaii Skin Divers, Lance Otsubo, Wayde Hayashi, Kimi Werner, and Kimi Apiki. Lance is a local boy who knows where to go and thanks to his Dad, Raymond Otsubo and his friend David Miyaki we were able to get a lot done in a day and half of diving.
Later we met up with Brian Yoshikawa (Owner) of Maui Sporting Goods and we did a autograph session with HSDTV host, Merlinda Garma. Their shop is at 92 North Market Street and they have everything from diving, fishing, boating tackle and it was a diver's dream store.
Then we went to film the Daniel Perreria Memorial Spearfishing Tournament at Baldwin Beach Park where the whole community came together to support this huge event. With over 90 competitors ranging in ages 3-18 years of age, it was all about the keikis of Hawaii.
Brian and his son entered and even got interviewed by Merlinda Garma on their catch. There were so many donations and prizes everyone went home happy.
We were thankful for the invitation this year to cover this event. A big Mahalo to all the sponsors, helpers, and families who continue to support this great cause to help our keiki's who are battling cancer. Although Maui has lots of people, its neat to see their community come together to help support each other. It's no wonder the phrase, "Maui No Ka Oi"!
