Project Roi

I've been compiling footage and begun the ruff editing of the next dive video. This new video is gonna be focused towards the invasive roi, and the clean up of the reef. It is going to incorporate footage from both myself and my dive partner Brandon. I hoping to produce a video thats really up beat and to the point, minimizing boring shots and trying to keep it action, and by that I mean just action of Rois -> to keep it focused on invasive. I'm thinking that this video will be popular in many spearfishing groups throughout Hawaii, as the eradication of the invasive peacock grouper (roi) has become an apparent issue and mutual goal to eliminate. I hope that you guys are looking forward to the next video. I look forward to posting it!

SPEARFISHING OAHU HAWAII

Finally after hours of editing, I got my video up on youtube. Started to get creative with this video and mixed it up. I filmed my dive partner Brandon, to get a third party perspective. He also filmed me using a three prong. I felt that those addition really helped to make the video unique. I also added the banner for the club Na Kane O Ke Kai. I thought it would be considerate of myself to rep the club that I am a part of, along with HammerHead Spearguns- my dive sponsor. I hope all of you enjoy the video and subscribe to my channel.

Super cool dive video that you should watch!

This is a dive video that my dive partner Brandon Terry just put out. Its got a ton of action and takes place in many of the same spots that my videos are shot in. It's his first video so he's trying to look for new ways to improve with consumer comments. At the time we both complied footage and edited videos, so i'll be coming out with a dive vid soon. My video is pretty much done, just trying to get a couple more people to review it before I publish it to the web. Final stages of editing! Anyways everyone that looks at this blog should view this video and subscribe to his channel. Mahalo Nui

 I apologize for the recent lack of posts. I've been extremely busy with architecture school and work. I finally had an opportunity to get a dive in with my dive partner Brandon. We went out with one of Brandon's dad's work friend. He promised to take us out on his boat and play boat man, if we could help him catch fish for a party. It worked out well as all of us got a fair share of fish. I was excited on my catch, especially the Nohu (Rock Cod) as they are fairly rare to us. Also delicious to eat.! Keep in tune as a new video is soon to be in development. Also, I always appreciate input. Please feel free to message me and let me know what kind of material you would like to see on this blog in the future.

Kauai Trip

Recently the company I work for; Kamanu Composites, sponsored a work retreat for all of the employees. We all left to Kauai on a camping trip at Poli Hale for a three day vacation. Because two of the bosses and one of the workers live on Kauai, the trip was ideal and there were trucks that we could borrow to get around for transportation. Kauai had unreal scenery and Poli Hale was an incredible place to camp. The sand was silky, the sunsets amazing, and weather conditions were epic. I even got a chance to dive and pic up some fish to cook for dinner.! Unreal trip and thanks a bunch to Kamanu Composites

Season of Coaching Under the Belt

Just finished Coaching for Kailua Canoe Club. I coached with a friend for the boys 14 and 15 age group. The season was tuff at times, but it was an overall exciting season and memorable as well. I put this video together thats filmed with 90% Gopro and a couple shots with the Canon 60d. Before watching the video I suggest for you to turn up the volume and turn the video to HD. Enjoy

Munu are delicious

Went diving the other day and picked a whole bunch of Munu (goatfish) also known as Joe. These fish are really good eating and i am blessed to have been able to catch so many. The one in the far back was shot by my dive partner, but i shot all of the others. These fish were shot in 40-70ft depth.

My dive partner and I also shot some invasive fish. Doing my part to help the reef.
