    Tutu always taught us as kama`aina "always take off your shoes cause you're in someone else's house". The one thing I loved most about my upbringing was that disrespect earned cracks, and if the cracks stuck, respect would be found. Aloha is not all smiles and lei. This all stems from the mana of the kia'i like those Makuakai descended from. Thank you for hosting this fine young man to share his mana'o and mo'olelo.

      I'll never forget this quote from JBG from the 90s: "I grew with nothing, now I have a house, a car and a wife" . Equaling a wife to a thing or possession during an interview without even noticing says something about a person. I just hope he didn't think he owned his wife the same way Eddie R. did. Guys who beat up their wife are the ultimate low-life cowards, nothing they do to prove to everyone they're these tough sh%t guys (beating up people, training, jujutsu, surfing big waves) will change that.

    His father and the the Black Shorts Gang were feared gangsters on the North shore. The brothers got more than their share of primo waves because of this. That being said, they both have become true legendary wave riders. Despite the details of the past, I have true respect for their wave riding prowess.

    It can't be denied that Rabbit, Ian, and PT needed to be taught a very hard lesson back in the 70's. You don't go anywhere and try to take over, then insult the people that live there. Anywhere, .... even if it's Rhode Island, or Galveston, Durban, or Sydney. Roll the dice and take your lumps like a man. I don't agree with everything they've been accused of doing, but Eddie and the boys have done much good for us Hawaiians and malama aina here, they just don't need to go shouting it around like some fucking haoles. It's palpable, they tread a lot lighter on the NS these days, thanks to Da Hui. I know Rabbit and PT get it now, Ian don't think so

And he sure didn't look too convinced by his own puffery when claiming to be the 12th great grandson on Kamehameha. You can almost see the cogs turning, "Am I gonna trot out this tripe again!"
