"How would you like to stand like a god before the crest of a monster billow, always rushing to the bottom of a hill and never reaching its base, and to come rushing in for a half mile at express speed, in graceful attitude, until you reach the beach and step easily from the wave?" — Duke Kahanamoku

“Hawaii has always been a very pivotal role in the Pacific. It is in the Pacific. It is a part of the United States that is an island that is right here.”

There is another quality to Hawaii that cannot be measured in mountain heights or the sunny allure of beaches fringed by palm trees. There are other places in other oceans - even in this same ocean - with sunny weather and white sand beaches, places where mountains rise even higher, the land is greater in size and diversity and the history more dramatic. But nowhere else is there a place so small as Hawaii with such a world of differences among its people and their cultures blending so naturally with an exotic environment. The life of Hawaii, as it is lived today and as it was lived hundreds of years before, is as important to any meaningful understanding of these islands as the beauty of the land itself.
