We are a locally owned and operated company, in business since 2012. We strive to promote all things Hawai'i and keep our islands the way they have always been.
As we all know corporate businesses come to Hawai'i and drive out the local population. Undercutting on prices, outsourcing work, and putting Hawai'i on products they claim to be local. To the average person , one would never know the difference. We are proud to say that all aspects of our company, are under our control, from the prints on our shirts, stickers, even down to the custom stitches on our hats. WE SUPPORT LOCAL! |

Legend Of Maui And The Islands
Creation on the Islands
The Demigod Maui was said to be the smallest of the family. He was the quickest of mind and had an extremely rascally nature about him. It is said too that Maui was not a good fisherman. His brothers were far more skilled. They would laugh at him and his lack of success.
In revenge, Maui would sometimes use his cunning to fill his boat with catch at his brothers expense. He would position his boat so that when one of his brothers began to pull in a fish, he would distract them so that he could pull his line across theirs stealing their fish.
Maui's brothers could only marvel at their younger brother. However they soon caught on and refused to take him fishing with them. Maui was very distressed, so his mother then sent him to his father to obtain a magic hook. "Go to your father. There you will recieve the hook called Manaiakalani, the hook fastened to the heavens. When the hook catches land, it will raise the old seas together."
Maui returned with his hook and asked his brothers to let him join in another fishing expedition. They only laughed and threw him out of the boat. When they returned, they were empty handed. Maui berated them. He stated that if they had allowed him to join them, they would have had more success. The brothers decided to allow him to join them in their canoe for another chance.
They paddled far into the ocean and threw their lines overboard. To their dismay, they only caught sharks. The brothers ridiculed Maui asking "Where are the fish you promised?"
Maui then rose and threw his magical hook into the ocean. Chanting a spell of power, he commanded the hook to catch the Great Fish.
At once the sea began to move. Great waves rose around the canoe. Maui commanded his brothers to paddle with all their might and to not look back. For two days, Maui held taut the magic line and hook while his brothers kept paddling furiously. Suddenly from below the depths arose the tops of great mountains in a series of peaks that broke the surface of the ocean. This is how the islands came today

In the stories of old Hawaii there are 4 Main Gods Kane , Kanaloa, Ku and Lono, which are said to have been created by Io which is an infinite source of Mana providing energy and stability to all things. Later on in Hawaiian religion the story of Io will branch out into the Aumakuas we know today .
So it is said that iao sent out all the Mana he could across Po (the darkness) and the first God was created. Kane the first of Ios sons was the Giver and creator of Life and Light. It is said that before Kane the world was a dark abyss. Kane had many feats but one of his most memorable was the story of the creation of water. One day after fishing Kane and Kanaloa (two brothers) both began to look for a spring of water. After long search they came up with nothing except complaint from Kanaloa. "Where is the water the people are always singing and chanting about your life giving streams."
Kane them replied be patient. In an instant Kane struck the ground with his spear and water came gushing out.
The spring that formed was then named Kanewai which still exists today.
Kanewai Fishpond is the last functioning shoreline fishpond in Honolulu (with the exception of Mokauea Island). The fishpond was assessed to have the historic properties meriting a listing on the State Historic Register and satisfied the National Historic Register criteria. It was also listed to be one of Oahu's few remaining royal ponds and one of two remaining loko pu'uone hakuone (Type II) on O'ahu. (Kikuchi & Apple 1975). Today it is commonly referred to by the name Kuliwai.

The Battle of Nuʻuanu (Hawaiian: Kalelekaʻanae; literally the leaping mullet), fought in May 1795 on the southern part of the island of Oʻahu, was a key battle in the final days of King Kamehameha I's wars to unify the Hawaiian Islands.
Kamehameha I had begun his campaign to unify Hawaii in 1783, but prior to 1795 had only managed to unify the Big Island. However, in 1794 a civil war broke out when the chief of Oʻahu, Kahekili II, died. The civil war was fought between his half-brother Kaʻeokulani and his son Kalanikupule. Kalanikupule ultimately won, but emerged from the war greatly weakened.
During this time, Kamehameha had been equipping his army with modern muskets and cannon, as well as training his men in their use under direction of British Sailor John Young.[6] In February 1795 he assembled the largest army the Hawaiian islands had ever seen, with about 12,000 men and 1,200 war canoes (at this time, the British estimated the entire population of the Hawaiian Islands at less than 300,000; modern anthropologists believe it was closer to one million). Kamehameha initially moved against the southern islands of Maui and Molokaʻi, conquering them in the early spring. Then he invaded Oʻahu.

Battle of Kepaniwai (Iao Valley, Maui)
Battle of Kepaniwai (Iao Valley, Maui)

The Battle of Kepaniwai ("Battle of the Dammed Waters of ʻĪao" or Kaʻuwaʻupali, "Battle of the Clawed Cliffs") was fought in 1790 between Hawaiʻi Island and Maui. The forces of Hawaiʻi were led by Kamehameha I, while the forces of Maui were led by Kalanikūpule. It is known as one of the most bitter battles fought in Hawaiian history.
While Maui's king Kahekili II was on Oʻahu, Kamehameha's war fleet landed in Kahului a few kilometers from the base of ʻĪao Valley. An army consisting of around twelve hundred skilled warriors led by Kamehameha and Kekuhaupiʻo, advanced on Kahekili's son Kalanikūpule and other Maui chiefs blocking the ʻĪao valley. The two armies were evenly matched and neither side broke after two days of fighting. On the third day Kamehameha's army was helped by the use of two cannons (named "Lopaka" and "Kalola") operated by John Young and Isaac Davis, two of Kamehameha's royal advisors. Although none of Maui's major chiefs were killed, many people died resulting in the "damming of the waters" by the corpses floating in the river. It was said that the river "ran red with the blood of the dead." Chiefess Kalola and her granddaughter Keōpūolani were able to escape west through the valley to Olowalu and north to Lahaina.[1]
After the battle, Kalola offered her 11-year-old granddaughter to Kamehameha as a future wife. Meanwhile, Keōua Kuahuʻula, the last independent chief on the Island of Hawaiʻi, who had been raiding Kamehameha's territory, quickly returned to the Big Island. This resulted in the 1790 battles of East Hawaiʻi and the 1791 battle of Kawaihae.[2]
Kahekili II resumed his rule of Maui and also acquired cannon. In 1791, Kahekili tried to invade the island of Hawaiʻi, but was defeated in a naval battle called Kepuwahaʻulaʻula. Kamehameha had to wait for the civil war that broke out in 1793 after the death of Kahekili II, and the battle of Nu'uanu to finally win control of Maui.
