New and old places... Mammoth, Rockies, Cottonwood Canyon, Chamonix, Cortina, Austria, Japan ....
Our family skied Mammoth with Dave McCoy in the 1950s, and had cousins who panned for gold in the Owens Valley in the early 1900s, summer camp at Convict Lake and Hot Creek in the 1920s. By mid 1960s I was on skis, cable bindings and leather lace up boots.
But we were beach people and island dwellers and now happy to share our slice.
We look forward to creating a network of exchange properties and accommodations.
Year-round trades, every season to balance the
swimming, surfing, paddling, hiking, climbing, fishing, skiing, snowboarding, etc.

Lanikai Beach is popular for itʻs friendly waters, no waves, safe for young and old, easy to enter the ocean and swim or float. Kayaks stop on the beach here from Kailua Beach on their way to the Mokulua islands.
Kailua Beach Park is a short walk around the point. Kailua captures the trade wind swells so the beach along Kailua Bay has small wind-swell waves for bodyboarding & bodysurfing. Kailua, is a funnel of wind and the center of all things kite and wind surfing, foil mania and lots of schools to rent and teach the art of wind.

Our family history in Hawaii begins in 1948 when mom/grandma Fran worked as a nurse in Hilo on the Big island, and in Waimea, Kauai working with Doctor Brennecke and delivering babies on the South Shore. In Hilo our hanai family the Silva and the Crivellone family in Lanikai kept the connection. We've been hanging out under the mango tree at the house since the 1980s. The tree was planted by auntie Ruth Gouveia in 1961, a variety named after her. In 2021 we picked 1000 mangoes that summer. Looks like 2026 will be the same even with the flooding from Kona storms this winter.
The old house has been a source of joy over the years for those who have lived here. Now our aim is to build additions and new views so we can continue sharing. Construction clothes for Sheri and me. She's the painter and restorer, I'm better at demo and soon the framing of the new hale. What we're doing in retirement.

Kailua Beach longer than you think, or legs can imagine.
Down the path to the reef... Aalapapa tanslated. The ocean reef is flat, an old volcano creating the beach and fringed by the Mokulua islands and the Ka'iwa Ridge that form the unique enclave of
Ka ōhao in the town of Kailua.

History of Ka ōhao. The lashing. There's Hawaiian lore here. The cousins tell the stories of water buffalo and watermelon patches before it was developed as Lanikai in the 1920s.
