polynesian culture is so beautiful. with rich history, they were the masters of the sea, but with all that strength they are still the sweetest in person. and their breathtaking traditions never cease to amaze me.

Truly beautiful people Hawaiians are so gorgeous. I never have to look at them ever having wrinkles and liver spots 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤷🏼‍♀️👎🏼🤧. Just wonderful melanated skin that's a beautiful golden red. That can endure the Sun and doesn't have to use sunscreen wonderful. Beautiful lady that is wonderful and talented this is a fun but dangerous sport to learn and I'm very glad that they have a women's division it's great. 😎👌🏼💯‼️😇🎉📺🥰🌟💎🙋🏻‍♀️

[@mias5milkshake164]

She's Samoan not Hawaiian, but yes Polynesians are very beautiful!

[@moekontze116]

What. Video you watching? She is Samoan. All Polynesians, Melanesian, Austronesians are all beautiful
