Hawaii, Where Surfing Began
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- Surfing has always played a vital role in my life, one I could never quite find the words to express. So I went down into Anahola village to meet up with alia shaper and Kanaka Maoli, Bronson Lovell, who took me back to the roots of surfing.
Mahalo to the Hawaiians for teaching the world to surf, and to Corona Studios for sponsoring this project back in 2021. We made were a finalist in the Hawaii International Film festival, and were selected fro the Maui Film Festival, Raindance, and Cannes!
Aloha.
Starring Bronson Lovell owner of All Maikai alaias

I like the idea of living in a constant state of reverence with the mystery
Uncle Bronson’s got some Ike 🧠❤️
Protect these Islands and the native people of Hawaii at all cost. 🤙
This is a beautiful short film.
I've only been to and surfed in Hawaii once. It was my first wave. I will never forget that feeling. As if the hand of God/nature grabbed hold of that board, picked me up and carried me to shore! Impossible to forget it! This is a fantastic documentary! Great work!
Aloha Love from Mauka Shed Farm! Just found yer channel last night!
Bigtime Stoked!
💜🌺💜🌺💜🌺💜🌺💜
Beautiful story,beautiful people,beautiful boards🤟🤟❤️❤️
Aloha lives on stronger with inspirational stories like this!
such a simple yet beautiful visual story
The message in all of your videos is always so genuine. You've got a great tone and beautiful camerawork. It's always a joy seeing that you've posted a new video. Keep it up!
Can't wait. It will be epic, like all your short films.
I came here after watching your video about hula. It's beauty brought tears to my eyes and put warmth in my heart. Your videos are a treasure. You have a gift and you are using it so well ❤
Thank you 🌺
Beautiful video as always.
Beautiful video, interesting, and nice to see his interaction with the wild pigs, beautiful forests
a great frame with the hand on the surface
brooo, your on kauai right now, nice nice nice, I live kapaa, I might see you around actually, ok, this will be a good vid, cant wait to see the outcome, hope everything is fine, youre video editing skills are very good, gotta make yourself a tv show, but, Imma go and comeback when this comes out so shoots, a hui hau (next day after editing for the third time cause Im unprofessional): Im back, and this is very good, and seemingly accurate for those who make surf boards probably, at times people do connect with the earth, and today i just came back from body boarding, and honestly, ya, you can feel a certain energy when catching the waves. more people need to get into the earth, if everyone can contribute to helping save this planet and preserve its treasures, there can be alot more peace, aloha from kauai, and a hui hau, lets all protect this aina and learn from sam potter
not gonna lie, I use foam science body boards, sadly I dont really stand up surf alot, but I like having my head go down first
Can’t wait for this one.
Quite possibly the most beautiful Corona commercial (or any commercial) in history.
I'm so glad you are making these films. They will be appreciated for a very long time.
Dude this is absolutely beautiful. Such a fantastic message and connection you and Bronson have with surfing. Fantastic work!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I’m in hawaii right now brotha, and lord is it beautiful. Going to visit my dads family, and we’re going to Hoʻokuaāina to do some work all thanks to your recommendation. i love the work you’re doing to try and restore the culture before it’s lost, and you’ve inspired me even more to want to help that some change. thank you.
Awesome. Weaving into the ancestral indigenous. Great narrative. Like your style bro
Mahalo For This Capt., Shine On☝️🤙😃🪶
The spirit of aloha.. 🤙🏽 thanks for share..
ALOHA!! BEAUTIFUL!!
Testing my patience level... Hell exited...
Sam, thank you ❤️ I started watching your content in 2017 with the the “Welcome to Neverland” video and your work has inspired me to chase my dream of becoming a filmmaker. I’m forever grateful for all you’ve inspired me to do. 🎥🌎
Thanks for following along
this is one of the most beautiful videos i’ve ever seen. your cinematography, your words, the story, i can’t believe your videos don’t have more views! sending you love dear brother, you are doing magical things 🌀🌎
Amazing short dude!! Better than the entire fast furious franchise XD
I came to these island for the first time at 50 years old and found my place in the world. The people the culture the mix of things traditional and Asian and western, all trying to live in harmony with each other. I’ve been here four years and remember my first wave like it was yesterday because it pretty much was. I would live the rest of my life in a one room apartment, a shack, or a tent, just to spend the rest of my life here and surf. I hope to carve my own board before my time on this earth runs out. Mahalo, to all the locals keeping traditions alive.
Beautifully written.
I admire your love for Hawaii; and for finding your life spot in a majestic, mysterious place that is full of love and beauty.
I hope to one day to do the same before my life is over.
Love the stories you choose to tell and how they are told, I always look forward to your new episodes.
Love this! Your Dad taught me how to Soul Surf in Kauai!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! SO BEAUTIFUL AND INSPIRATIONAL!!!!
Idk, the people appeared, the things mentioned and your narration in all videos kind of give me a different perspective of the world, and give me an idea of what really is important to us as human beings and allow us get the idea of the link between us humans and all nature. You are one of the great ones that inspire me to change my life totally and will never wonder who am I now if I hv never clicked into one of your videos early last year. You are full to the brim with aloha unconsciously, but I still wish you stay the same as a passionate HUMBLE young man.🌍🥬
❤ thank you
Amazing short film!🤙
Proud to be a Hawaiian surfer here in Hawaiʻi, still upholding some of the many profound and famous arts my culture and people have to offer! Mahalo for the video 🤙🏽
🙏
Beautiful, makes me reflect on how it was perceived, experienced the first time from the shore the people who saw someone conquer the waves... and the feeling of freedom of discovering the wave. Thank you for sharing this
💗💫💗💫💗💫💗💫💗💫💗 love 💗 love 💗 love 💗
Your beautiful resilience of Indigenous peoples’ brother’s & sister’s of Hawaii- Much respect & a’hollata LOVE 💗 Beautiful brother’ Sam’ KEEP ON DOIN WHAT U DO!!! ❤
Hey braddah thank you for such a beautiful video. It’s important for us surfers to always remember where it all came from, and that surfing was always meant to be play and a deeply spiritual way to connect with mama ocean.
See you in da water on island cuz

amazing!
Great story you told
The craftsman's ears hide a story that deserves to be told
Seen that
Beautiful video. ....for comtemplation: Waves are not traveling waves of water. But rather invisible bands of energy moving THROUGH water. The water does not move. 🙂. Much love!
Impressive ✌🏼
Love this
This is insane.
your videos are true art i love it ❤
Wonderful video 😮🔥
Sam, when does this premier at the Maui Film Fest? Congrats on the selections!
yepeee new episode coming !
Magic💯❤🌏
This man is the reason why I make films🎥❤️🔥
History came from our Ali’i Warriors n the first wood came from the “Hoe” known as Papa Paepo’o (Night Lander) today I still carrying the history. Keep up the good work of riding He’e Nalu, Palala
Story telling in this is crazy
Heavy and beautiful
That's beautiful! And who's the man behind the camera when you're on the screen ?
Cory S. Martin is the cinematographer. He is amazing. As a fellow DP his work is always inspiring.
amazing
Well done filming. But the involvement of Corona beer could have been done much more sensitive. But anyway - thanks for supporting us.
SUGGESTION: SURFING MAGAZINE!!!!
Ahh this is absolutely gorgeous! Particularly love the colours of this film! Which drone did you shoot this project on?
lol nice corona ad placement there
Hello, where can i watch the whole movie ?
God bless you for making this video. Love is patient and kind. Jesus Christ walked on the water. And the wind and waves obeyed him. You are and can do greater things than Jesus Christ. Because he went to the Father. Even dancing on giant waves. I just moved to O'ahu. I grew up snowboarding and wake boarding. I always wanted to be professional snowboarder. But I fractured my spine. Which was my greatest gift and curse. I still want to try surfing and be able to stand on my first attempt. One Spirit one love brothers.
Live and let live
Surf and religion aren’t the same
❤
Finally!
where can we watch this??🤙
Hey beautiful stuff man. What is this shot on?
Red
Kanaka Maoli 🤎✊🏾

Maika'i
🙂
🤙🏽❤️
Anahola is the name of the Ahupua'a. Koʻolau is the name of the moku (the larger district). 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Correct ❤️❤️ that’s what it says I just worded it a little funny haha
@Captain Potter at 1:05 it says Ahupua'a of Ko'olau 😊. Mahalo nui for your video though! He mea maika'i. Mālama pono🤙🏽
Bahah yes “Anahola, Ahupua’a of Ko’olau” as in Anahola is an ahupua’a within the Moku of Ko’olau. And mahalo for the kind words 🤙🏽
Surfing began in Tahiti
What would you call it in Hawaiian? The Story place? That's where we are.
What’s the chants mean?
AMEN🦋🐝🪱🦇🦅🦉🦀🐳🦞🐬🦐🐟🦑🦈🐙🐡🐚🐚🐚🌊🌊🌊
bro remembers his first steps? was he like 4 when he first walked? haha
Bahahaha - nah - it was implying that both happened when I was so young that I can’t remember either
sorry, it started in Peru in a place called Huanchaco not in Hawaii.. is a documented fact.
I believe there are several different origins of humans riding waves - Peru being the earliest documentation - however, it was the Hawaiians and there style of surfing that brought surfing to the world. That’s all this film is saying, a simple thank you -
You never let us down Sam
hahah glad to hear it
I’m dying to know what camera and lens he uses
red komodo
Is it Big Z ?😂
yes!!! Bahahah
ahh yeah the rich kids ;)
I was always told surfing started in Tonga
Can anybody else remember their first steps??
Lol “ I can remember my first wave about as well as my first steps” - is code for I can’t remember either 🤣
@@CaptainPotter gotcha, that one went over my head. 👍
Surfing started in Santa Cruz CA. Somebody should have checked some facts before making a movie.
BAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
Why you gotta be bringin’ glass to the beach
