TAVARUA OUR FAVORITE HEART-SHAPED PACIFIC ISLAND

JUST 11 HOURS AWAY IS A MAGICAL ISLAND CALLED TAVARUA. LOCATED IN FIJI, THIS HEART SHAPED ISLAND ABSOLUTELY HAS OUR HEARTS. THIS SPECIAL PLACE IS OUR FAVORITE GETAWAY AND EVERY YEAR, WE MAKE THE TREK WITH A GROUP OF OUR FRIENDS FOR A WEEK OF NONSTOP SUN, SAND, AND SURF.

OUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT FIJI WOULD HAVE TO BE THE PEOPLE AS WELL; THEY ARE THE MOST LOVING AND HAPPY PEOPLE WE HAVE EVER COME ACROSS AND THEY REALLY MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE HOME ONCE YOU SET FOOT ON THE ISLAND.

 

THERE ARE COUNTLESS SURF SPOTS AROUND AND CLOSE TO THE ISLAND. IT IS MOST FAMOUSLY KNOWN FOR CLOUDBREAK, WHERE THEY HAVE A SURF CONTEST EVERY YEAR. WE ALSO HAVE FUN SESSIONS AT KIDDIELAND, WHICH IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE RESTAURANT, WHERE YOU EAT BREAKFAST, LUNCH, AND DINNER.

IT IS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR MEN WHO SURF (OR DON’T SURF), WIVES LOOKING FOR A GETAWAY WITH THEIR HUSBANDS, KIDS WHO WANT TO JOIN LORD OF THE FLIES (AS THEY EXPLORE THE ISLAND) OR FOR ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING FOR A PACIFIC ISLAND GETAWAY.

SEE YOU THERE NEXT YEAR.

MIKOH X FALL IS HERE

A warm breeze, rich with salt rustles the curtains of a little Hawaiian beach home. Sand is sprinkled and strewn about the polished bamboo floor like stars across the Milky Way. Here, the line between inside and outside is blurred. Life is lived in a gentle current of the horizonless ocean, meals are cooked in the company of misty rain and the sun’s rays alike, and swimwear belongs in the coziness of the couch as much as it does the beach just a few footsteps away. 

After a fulfilling, bikini clad day of surfing and swimming, a cool shower, a nourishing dinner, and the comfort of real clothes is tangible temptation. As the sun begins to set and dusky shades of guava pink and tangerine infuse the sky, delicate clinking of glasses accompanies the ever present laughter of friends and family lounging in the bliss of the islands.

SURFRIDER FOUNDATION | OLEEMA AND KALANI HOST TWO COASTS : ONE OCEAN

Two Coasts: One Ocean events unite our efforts in local communities on both coasts and support Surfrider’s initiatives to help protect our coasts for the future. Funds raised from the Malibu event will help expand Surfrider’s outreach and advocacy efforts to reduce plastic pollution and support the Save Our Coast campaign to help ensure that California’s 1,100 mile coastline remains accessible and protected for future generations.

WE WERE THRILLED TO AGAIN BE A PART OF THE SECOND ANNUAL TWO COASTS: ONE OCEAN EVENT THIS YEAR IN MALIBU. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL (AND COLD!) NIGHT IN MALIBU WHERE WE CELEBRATED THE OCEAN, ITS CLEANLINESS, AND ITS FUTURE.

THE NIGHT STARTED AT SUNSET WHERE GUESTS SIPPED COCKTAILS AND ATE STREET TACO APPETIZER PUPUS AMONG OTHER BITES. THEN WE SAT AND ATE A DELICIOUS MEAL WHILE THE PRE TEEN PRODIGY BAND, THE HELMETS PLAYED. THAT WAS DEFINITELY THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT AND WHEN STEPHANIE GILMORE PLAYED A SONG WITH THEM, NO ONE COULD WIPE A SMILE OFF THEIR FACE.

THANK YOU SURFRIDER FOR LETTING US BE A PART OF THIS SPECIAL NIGHT. CANNOT WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR.

WE RAISED MONEY FOR TWO GREAT CAUSES:

Reduce Plastic Pollution at California Beaches

Save Our Coast by Defending California’s Coastal Act

WOMEN WE LOVE | THE LADY SLIDER

We caught up with one of the most inspiring ladies we know, Tara of The Lady Slider. This quadruple threat (photog, stylist, consultant, and all around badass) is based in Hawaii and is a creative genius. She captures the beauty of Hawaii in her photographs and we were lucky enough to have her shoot our MIKOH MINI campaign. Not to mention, she just self taught herself to fly a drone. She captured the below photos of the cutest little baby and momma duo we have seen. Scroll to the bottom to see a sneak peek of MIKOH MINI from the Polynesia Collection (coming soon).
Her positive energy is infectious and her original point of a view behind a sense captures intimate and special moments. We caught up with her in Hawaii to get an inside look inside the mind of The Lady Slider.

1. WHEN DID YOU START TAKING PHOTOS? FAVORITE JOB TO DATE?
I’ve had a love affair with photography my whole life. It was always on again off again until I started my blog 5 years ago and began taking photos more seriously. My favorite jobs usually aren’t jobs. I especially love working on my art photography (queue coconut trees and waves).  I also love getting together with a bunch of other creatives and shooting editorials. I love the freedom and energy that comes from those shoots. You can get as wild as you want and work collaboratively without the pressure of delivering a particular kind of imagery for a client.

 

2. DREAM DESTINATION?
Home.
3. WHERE IS YOUR FAVORITE PLACE YOU HAVE EVER TRAVELED TO?
It’s hard to call a particular destination my favorite. It’s like having 5 kids and having to decide on which one you like best. Everywhere I’ve been has taught me something different and the people, culture, food, and environment are all so unique. And there are still so many places I want to travel to!
4. GO TO MIKOH PIECE?
Does the Kailua Wetsuit count?
5. THREE THINGS ALWAYS IN YOUR BEACH BAG?
Water, Sunscreen, Camera
6. HIDDEN TALENT? (BESIDES YOUR DRONE FLYING SKILLS)
If I’ve got a talent I ain’t hiding it! Hahah.. unfortunately I don’t think I have any sort of hidden talent. What you see is what you get!
7. WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN FIVE YEARS?
Hopefully in early retirement and/or finding out and living life with a trust fund. Haha.

BAHAMA MOMMA

ONE OF THE MOST DREAMY GETAWAYS YOU CAN IMAGINE IS THE BAHAMAS. THIS YEAR, POST MIAMI, WE BOOKED THE ONE HOUR FLIGHT DOWN TO GUANA CAY. ONCE LANDING IN TREASURE CAY AIRPORT (YES… IT IS EVERY BIT OF A TREASURE YOU CAN IMAGINE), IT IS HOP ON A BOAT AND HEAD TO THE ISLAND.

THE BAHAMAS ARE MADE UP OF OVER 700 ISLANDS AND CAYS, AND GUANA IS HOME TO SOME OF THE MOST CLEAR AND TROPICAL WATER THAT ONLY DREAMS ARE MADE OF.

WE VISITED THE WILD PIGS ON ABACO AND FED THEM BAGELS AND GAVE THEM WATER BEFORE JETTING OFF ON THE BOAT TO SWIM WITH SHARKS AND STING RAYS.

IT WAS 10 DAYS OF SALT, SAND, AND SUN. WE ARE ALREADY COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS UNTIL WE CAN GO AGAIN.
