Little surfer little one
Made my heart come all undone

Do you love me, do you surfer girl
Surfer girl my little surfer girl

I have watched you on the shore
Standing by the ocean's roar

Do you love me do you surfer girl
Surfer girl surfer girl

Aloha, and how may I help you today? Your doing an article for the school news paper on locals, and you want to interview me? Why I guess I could tell you some basic things, since you did say that your grade depends on it. To start with my full name is Kaipo Lulani Awapuhi. Believe it or not the first two names I told you are my first name, my parents didn't see it fit to give me a middle name. My first first name, Kaipo, means sweetheart while my second first name, Lulani, means highest heaven. Those are just the meanings though, I mean I don't think I'm any kind of angel. If you can't say Lulani, believe me you aren't the first, then you can call me by a few nicknames that I've aquired over the years. But whatever you do please refrain from calling me Kaipo unless you know, I have my own reasons for not wanting everyone to call me that. Oh yea, bout those nicknames Kai, Po, and Lani are three of my most common nicknames. Pick which ever you want.

Oh, so now you want more? Well you know what they say, give a mouse a cookie and he'll ask for some milk. Well to start off I'm twenty five year's old. OLD! Just because I'm older then you doesn't make me old. So you want to what sign I am? Well I guess it's safe to say that I'm a Pieces, yes I'm the two little fishes. Oh, you wanted my exact birthday? Well be more clear next time, I was born on February 23rd. There, happy now? NO! You want more? I swear if you were asking me all this before Kamea was born I would've left already. Oh you didn't know? I'm Kamea's father, making me male. Yes I was married once... Yes it was with a women, the most beautiful women in all of Hawaii. Yea, I'm Heterosexual, though I'm not looking for anyone. Kamea is enough women for me.

Wait come back. I'm sorry, I told you that you could interview me, and you can. I'll tell you anything you want, promise. You want to know what what I look like? Well to start with my hair is blonde, and naturally so. It's a little brighter in the summer but that's because I'm in the sun more then in the winter. Then I have these bright blue eyes, see? Their one of my favorite features. It's rare to have blue eyes you know. As for my skin color, well you would think I wasn't a native Hawaiian since I'm so fair skinned for the most part, but my family came from Germany to Hawaii many many year's ago. I don't tan much, and tend to have a slight permeate sun burn on my cheeks and shoulders. Well I've always been a bit taller then everyone else my age, though I finally stopped growing at six feet and five inches. As for how much I weight, let's just say that I'm about 150 pounds of pure muscle. Some pictures to put in the newspaper? Well I guess I have a few laying around. Here take them. One, two, three, four.

My style? Well I would like to think that I have a pretty chill style. Most of the time I would be caught in something like this, this, or maybe even something like this if I'm going swimming or working outside on a board. As long as I'm comfortable I don't really care what I'm wearing. I'm rarely seen in anything other then flip flops and some kind of cargo shorts, I don't really care for getting all dressed up in a suit. Reminds me to much of funerals. I do always match, I mean come on I do have to set up a good example for Kamea. As for my hair I just pretty much let it do what ever it wants really. If I'm working really hard I do put a bandanna on, but that's only sometimes.

Six words that describe who I am? Well one of them would be chill, for sure. I don’t let a lot bother me and try to always relax and roll with the punches. But that’s not always you know, I’m also fiercely protective of those that I care about. Mess with the people that I care about and there will be nothing stopping me from killing you. I know some people think this is a bad thing, but after losing one of the people I loved I’m not willing to take chances with anyone else I care about. Moody is a word that describes me, even if I’m not happy about it. I do have mood swings where I can get really mad about nothing at times, but they normally don’t last long and I’m back to normal in no time. I guess you could call me kind of sarcastic. I have a humor that not many people understand, but that’s okay. I guess you could also call me responsible and a bit on the romantic side. I have to be the first as a single parent and the second is something that most people don’t know about and something I’m scared to admit. I already lost the first girl I fell in love with. I don’t want to fall in love again and risk feeling that pain again, but at the same time I do. It’s confusing.


My likes, dislikes and fears? Well I guess those questions are to be expected. I'll give you a list of my top likes and then a list of my top dislikes, after that I'll tell you two of my fears. You think that will be enough? If it has a ✔ that mean's I like it and if it has a ✖ that mean's I don't. Oh and my fear's are marked by a ☁. Ready to write this all down?

✔ Kamea
✔ Surfing
✔ The beach, just laying around on it and doing nothing.
✔ Cooking
✔ Bonfires at night
✔ Cigarettes
✖ Hospitals and Doctors
✖ Seeing happy couples
✖ Those who only surf for sport, and don't love it as well
✖ People who think their amazing, and aren't
✖ Sloppy drunks
✖ Cigarettes
☁ Not falling in love again, and never feeling the same way I did for someone as I felt when I was with Kaloe. I'm still young and don't want to live my life alone.
☁ Falling in love again, because I would feel like I was betraying Kaloe. Also I don't know is Kamea would understand.
☁ Something happening to Kamea. I've already lost one of the two most important women in my life. I couldn't bear losing the other.


Hum, I guess just like every other person I have my quirks, my vices, my hopes and my dreams. Just like I told you my likes, dislikes and fears in list form I'll do the same here. My vices and quirks will be represented by ❇ and my hopes and dreams by ✰.

❇ If I'm lying I can't look someone in the eye and will look everywhere but at them.
❇ Unless I have something special to do, I only shave once a week. Always on Mondays.
❇ I have an kind of OCD about boards in my shop. They have to but put in order by type and brand, if even one is out of place I can't do anything until it's fixed.
❇ When I get mad I ignore people and walk away, I'm terrible with conflict.
✰ I hope that Kamea will end up being a wonderful women, even though she never knew her mother and never had one set role model.
✰ I hope to be able to see Kamea get married and walk her down the isle, also to see her have a child and be a grandfather.
✰ I hope that while I own my father's shop it gets better then ever and makes more money then it ever did before. It would make him proud.


Wow, a perfect day huh? Well to tell the truth my perfect day will never come. It never can, even though I may get close there will always be one person missing from it. A perfect day with me would start with me waking up next to my beautiful wife Kaloe. I'd go and cook breakfast for her and Kamea. After breakfast Kamea and I would make a picnic lunch and pack up the car for a beach day. We would pack a board for each of us and drive to the beach where we would surf all day and eat the food Kamea and I made. My perfect day would end with Kaloe and I putting Kamea to bed and having a romantic diner before going off and falling asleep together. That's all I ask, and I can't have that. However, I still can do all those things with Kamea and that's as much as a perfect day as I need.

Truth be told, I've been working the shop since I can remember. Helping dad set up things, waxing the boards and helping customers. It's actually where I met my wife. It wasn't anything really, I mean everyone knew that the shop was passed through my father's family. My great-great-great grandfather was the one who started it and gave it to his first son, who give it to their first son and well I ended up owning the shop, though my dad didn't officially give it to me until about a year or two ago I've been acting like I own it since Kaloe died. It gives me something to do. When my dad finally gave me the keys he smiled and whispered into my ear some words that I will never forget. He said that Kaloe would be proud, and that he thought that Kamea would do a fine job taking over one day. He still helps time from time in the shop, but for the most part it's me Kamea and two family friends that work there.



Kaloe
My wife, or she was. Kaloe and I were high school sweethearts, though we had been best friends since we could remeber.. When we were both in our senior year she got pregnant with Kamea. We got married a month after we found out. Both families were happy and everyone couldn't wait to welcome Kamea into our family. Then tragedy struck. While Kaloe was giving birth something went wrong, it was her or Kamea and she chose Kamea. No matter what she said her mind was made up. She passed soon after seeing Kamea and naming her. Leaving me eighteen years old and alone with a daughter. Leaving me alone as a widower.
Kamea
My beautiful daughter. Her name means the one, or precious one and that is what she is. She is all I have left of my late wife, and I spoil her rotten. Even though I'm a single father of a seven year old girl, which believe me can get hard at times, I don't regret her at all. If it wasn't for Kamea I don't know if I'd still be alive today. She is my life and my love.
Father
My father is the person who owned my shop before me, and his father before him, and so on and so forth. He is a great man and helps me with the shop and everything whenever I need it.
Mother
I really don't know what I would've done without her. She's been a blessing with taking care of Kamea so that I can have some days off of being a dad, and about talking to her about female things. I'm so thankful to have her around.



I changed that day. That bitter sweet day seven years ago. Kaloe was so happy to be pregnant, she couldn't wait to have our child. I mean it was a surprise, we had planned on waiting till we were in our twenties to have children, but this child would be a blessing none the less. I was excited as well, as any father to be should, that was until I heard the news. It was one or the other, either Kaloe would live or our daughter would. I wanted Kaloe to pick her life, we could always have another child, but she wouldn't allow it. She chose to have our daughter, who she named Kamea which means the one and she was the one. She told me that she loved me, and that our daughter was a part of her. She made me promise to take care of her and I did, from then on Kamea became my life and I love her more then I love myself.


Oh if you were wondering, this is what my house and shop looks like. As you can most likely guess the bottom floor is the shop and the top is my house. My parents just recently moved out so right now it's just me and Kamea. As for my hot ride it's red, Kaloe and Kamea's favorite color. It's a Jeep Wrangler in case you couldn't tell from the picture. Do you ride? Are you seriously asking me that? I was born and raised in Hawaii, plus my family runs the famous surf shop. Well of course! I've been surfing all my life, but I don't have one specific board that I use. If you had a whole shop full of them you'd understand. I will say that I favor long boards though. Mainly because then Kamea can ride with me though. I don't compete, but I love nothing more then watching others do it or others learn to ride.
