- While in Hawaii I was lucky enough to cross the Big Island's very own, Coconut Joe. He teaches the art of palm fronds weaving at universities and puts together unique souvenirs for tourists. I was lucky enough to have one made and capture some of this beautiful art on camera.

It was nice seeing my unko doing what he loved to do,miss him,but KeAkua had a better plan!!!😘🌈
He seemed like such a nice guy. I wish I could have spent more time with him learning about more traditional Hawaiian crafts. He left a great legacy behind though :)
I’m cook island we have the same hats where we from, I love being polynesian!! respect to u Hawaiian brother for carrying on our Polynesian culture❤️❤️
Lucky guy, that’s the best hat!
But I love how coconut joe has a story about it. 💘💘
e kala mai. Yes...Joe has passed. He is a good friend for many years.
+Kate Stadler I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully his traditions will continue to be passed down forever.
Rest in Love, Joe.
+Kate Stadler Oh no did he pass away!?
Yeah Kate don't leave us hanging! Is Joe ok?
In Fiji all the kids know how to make these and can give it to you for free
How much was it?
+LivingLifeWithAaron Only $15!
Where does he weave hats?
Don't show how its made ::
Sad how America is ruining cultures like Hawaii’s.
will dry up less than two weeks and is made very low quality
Of course it will dry up! There's no preventing that. It's not the best quality but I've still got it and it still looks good 4 years later ;)
Let's see you do it smart guy

It's the best quality actually. He made me my hat when I was 9. I'm 37 now & it's still strong now. Maile & coconut leaves last for a very long time.
