ALOHA! My name is Eric Keawekane and I have been creating art for over fifty years. I love it - drawing and painting, ceramics and sculpture, graphic design, drumming, photography and... FILM. Of all the artistic mediums, only film has the ability to capture and communicate by combining any or all of the other mediums. I especially enjoy capturing what is good in the world - Especially surfing. My son has also discovered his own love of surfing, photography, and film and so we've joined forces share what we capture.
WHY KEWE? Growing up friends had trouble pronouncing my long Hawaiian last name so I got the nickname "KEWE" - Pronounced like the fruit and all things New Zealand. KEWE has stuck. And so, I sign all my fine art with "KEWE" and conclude videos with "KEWE FILMS".

DANTE - Memorial Paddle-Out
Переглядів 6249 годин тому
On Sunday, October 6, 2024, family and friends of Dante Bilotti gathered at the Hut at Barbwires, Trestles in San Clemente, California. It was a Hawaiian-Style Paddle-Out, a Memorial, and a Celebration of Life for a solid, good Braddah. The event took place two months following his passing at that very spot (The Hut) where he had surfed, came in, and peacefully passed on the beach. ALOHA KE AKU...

GIVE THANKS FOR LOWERS!

The Surfline report for South OC was small, 1 to 2, 2 to 3, with frigid water and a promising incoming swell for Thanksgiving and Black Friday on tap. Being the first week day of Thanksgiving Break for Capo USD and other school districts, the expectation was that in spite of small surf we'd find the parking lot full, the line-up packed with semi-professional groms, and the sound of, "Hey dude (...

Nice
Great film Eric!! Soo bummed i missed this!!
Yeah Dante. Surfing all over the Universe now brotha 💫 your Spirit is everywhere 🩵
Rip ✨❤
Bless
Damn, the erosion that’s happened to San O. 30 years ago ALL the trails had sand.
Isn’t there an easier fire trail road like to walk down from parking lot?
Why yes, yes there is - My son always insists on the short cut
Dude on the foil is RIPPING! 🤙🏼
Surfed an still there in in my 60 year surfing career (I'm 72). Not my go to spot( 50 mile drive from up north) but i've got some good waves there plus the vibe in the water is really mellow. May drive down and check this Sunday.
Right on Braddah Cliff! My sister switched out her Hawaiian Last name for Barber when she got married.
@@tesorosurf3699 Cool
Please don't San-O Trails brah
???
Are you gonna go film the swell this weekend? I’m so stoked!
Will probably be down everyday but Sunday. And then it is where Kawika wants to surf. See you out there!
Best soundtrack ever
😊😊😊
Lots of birds there
I love San-O- but honestly I saw about two guys who new how to surf - that's Ok - great place to trim but you can have more fun then that out there
Mahalo for watching Nic - It is true. I am an Equal Opportunity Videographer and like stoking out both beginners and the best surfers in the water with clips. What I saw was several folks who are intermediate to advanced and several others who are beginners but stoked on surfing. That is part of the magic of San O.
Good memroies, such a fun classic break
For sure Braddah Kaneshiro - My last name is actually Keawekane. Share da kine "Kane" and... I also get da kine Japanese too "Kunizu"
@@ekeawekane Braddah have you surfed Okinawa yet? Its my next trip:)
@@ekeawekane I stay in Honolulu so hit me up for surf!
@@MrKaneshiro1966 No - Just surfing Hawaii is a trip for us livin' in Cali
Ya u unko eric hope to run into you guys down there soon n talk story🤙🏽
Cheehooo
Great cinematography, music track and surfers i know. Interesting and entertaining. Mission accomplished! Keep up the terrific work my K E W E L- FILMS!!!
Mahalo Braddah Keith!
Thanks so much Eric for bringing the party vibes on the sand!! Your music pumped everyone up!!Hey, your grom had some great waves in a marathon session!! Forever grateful!!
mahalo keep killing it!!
See ya out there!
This music is dope
Mahalo
I used to ride a 9 ,6, 1967 Harbour banana model that weighed about 25 lb. One day at Sano I was having the session of a Lifetime on this board, just killing it, better than I ever surfed in my life, and when I got to shore a group of people in matching wetsuits complimented me and asked me to go out with them later. I asked them who they were and they said they were the Herbie Fletcher surf team and that Herbie had been filming me for my entire session. So somewhere Herbie Fletcher has video of my best day at san o.. later in the day he came up and filmed me cooking food on a cook stove with the surfboard as my table..
Classic! Mahalo for sharing - My first two boards were Harbours (a mid-length and a shortboard). San O is rich with stories like yours - And hope it keeps providing them for folks for a long time to come.
what happened to that sunset session you did on Friday the 25th?
SOOOOO bummed... That was one of my favorite sessions with the afternoon sun and all... I accidentally deleted the footage... I even purchased a data recovery software but it wasn't able to recover the footage. Sorry... Trust me... No one is as bummed as I am about it.
Good meeting you on Saturday. Thanks for the video of my family and my dog. Mike M
For sure Braddah!
Hopefully more to come soon.
ya u hayn good footy
Like the liquid D&B soundtrack. Always listen to D&B when I run.
Great filming! Keep it ahhh...rollin.....Especially locally!! Good work!
Great video! That young ripper on the blue shortboard is looking good! Thanks for posting.
LOL - THANKS!
Such a fun spot and cool video.
MAHALO
It has finally been good for about the past week...
Where is that? Barbwires
Trestles
Learned how to surf there and cottons. Lived on the golf course. Early 80's.
It's weird because I don't remember anyone wearing wetsuits back then in the summer.
Eric, your films are amazing with music and all. Love what you do! Great meeting you today. Sean
Mahalo Braddah!
Que playa es esa

I love how this video shows real expectations of surfing and not just highlights of people doing the right thing on every wave as if we were all pros. Kudos ❤
Mahalo - YUP - I'm an equal opportunity videographer - Un poco de todo
Thanks amigo for including me in your cool surfing film! Yeeew 🤙🏽
Slopey but still better than northoc it's been slop mode here
Are you going to post the videos from barbs in the morning?
Yes, sorry we left for Nicaragua for a 10 day surf trip and I didn’t have time to post it so it’ll be a bit late
Awesome stuff!
Barbwires too soft of a wave for the equipment
I grew up surfing Churches, middles, lowers, uppers and Cottons point, Sano, T-street and 204. Never knew Churches had a left. Thanks for sharing the video-I miss it all
That is awesome! Glad to help you connect back to the day
Mahalo! Your kids are awesome surfing
Nice meeting you guys! Mari & Hana
🤙🏼yeeeww
Just straight ripping the bag out of it for 15 minutes here!
Surfing is the greatest freedom I've felt in my life and creek was my favorite spot. Enjoy the water! Peace
Yeah Braddah!
The tall goofy foot guy with a board just a little long.But he gets the right size board about 3 inches shorter than the one he is riding at the Creek here.But he showed the most potential to start killing it.Kind of a mix of Machado and Chris Frohoff from back In the day he ripped.
Mahalo for the feedback - That would be my son and good advice
I saw some hooded wetsuits and booties. Is it really that cold in So Cal right now?😂
No. Some people just love their accessories. You'd be fine in a spring suit.
No, I've been trunkin' it. But then... I've got a layer of mid-body insulation...
I dont even wear hood or booties in sonoma county these socal guys have it EZ anything above 55 degrees is warm
@@javierlocura 🤣
No... But the wind was makin' folks keep the rubber on.
