Awesome story, positive vibes. Hats off to all the Rothmans. Ambassadors of Hawaii!

Makua is one of my all time heros. He truly embodies the native aloha in all aspects of hawaiian culture and a great surfer @makuarothman

[@profusionlifetv7183]

One of the best episodes yet

[@pedrovasconcelosdias8538]

What a legend! This guy works hard, he knows what he wants, he protects what he stands for, he is a great surfer and a great surfer(And also a great musician😉)! Keep up the good work Makua

[@bulldozer3723]

When I met Makua (2008) it was during a very intense moment with Kalaa, we had come into an intense situation that was very volatile, and I was so thankful Makua was at Kalaa’s side, cause every time I would glance into Makua’s eyes, his soul gave off a calm peaceful aloha vibe, which helped deescalate the situation, and I am so glad all of us can be friends

[@zimonslot]

Very interesting... let me guess, Kala wanted to beat you up for not showing enough respect?

[@bulldozer3723]

Zycho he was a snapper turtle, and probably the first time he had ever been to the mainland

His brother Koa is a way better surfer in my opinion. However, he seems genuine.

"Keep the country country" is a haole thing, I don't hear the locals saying lets keep the roads too small to drive on, so us who live on oahu and want to surf but can't surf there if we don't wake up early enough. cmon.
