I'd come in from a hard day's session surfing Rocky Point, Gas Chambers or Pipeline, put on this album and get ready to go work at the Kuilima's fine dining room, with it's beautiful view of Kawela Bay's surf. The totality of all those elements combined to have me singing along with the chorus in this song. I may not have been born in Hawaii, may not speak Hawaiian but none of that kept me from feeling and expressing my aloha for the aina and it's beautiful culture expressed so well in this song. Mahalo, from L.A.
