GO TO HAVE TO GO OHANA
SERENADERS.
WELCOME BACK,
THEY ARE MORE THAN A
GUYS TRYING TO MAKE THE
WORLD A BETTER PLACE AND
WE WELCOME IN THE OWNERS
OF NORTH SHORE SURF
SHOP, LIAM MCNAMARA,
BRIAN DANIELS AND LUIS
REAL.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING
US.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING
US.
LIAM MCNAMARA, ANY
RELATION TO OUR OTHER
GUEST TODAY, LANDON
MCNAMARA.
LANDON IS MY SON.
WE LOVE HAVING YOU ON
THE SHOW THE SAME DAY.
THAT'S WONDERFUL.
IT'S PRETTY NICE TO
BEING HERE AND LOOKING
FORWARD TO THE SHOW
PARTNER OF THAT SHOW.
BUT FIRST WE'RE HERE TO
TALK ABOUT NORTH SHORE
SURF SHOP.
TELL US ABOUT THE SHOP.
WE'RE LOCATED ON THE
NORTH SHORE, OBVIOUSLY.
WE HAVE LOCATIONS, MY
ORIGINAL LOCATION WAS
STARTED ABOUT 15 YEARS
AGO.
IT'S ACTUALLY MY WIFE
WHO GOT A PRETTY COOL
LITTLE SHOP AND IT
STARTED AS A BIKINI SHOP
AND TURNED IT INTO A
SURF SHOP.
LUIS AND I -- WELL, OUR
WIVES AND US, STARTED
ANOTHER SHOP IN
HALE'IWA.
A LITTLE OVER THREE
YEARS AGO I GOT A CALL
FROM MY FRIEND BRIAN
HERE AND HE ASKED ME IF
I WANTED TO GO INTO
PARTNERS IN A SHOP IN
HALE'IWA.
IT WAS A REALLY BIG
LOCATION.
GREAT OPPORTUNITY AND I
TOOK ADVANTAGE OF IT.
ME AND BRIAN STARTED
WORKING TOGETHER AND
REMODELING THE SHOP.
WE BROUGHT LUIS ON
OF HISTORY BETWEEN US IN
DIFFERENT WAYS.
IT'S A LONG STORY.
ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO I WAS
TRAVELING TO NEW YORK TO
GO SURF IN A COMPETITION
AND I HAD NEVER MET
BRIAN BEFORE.
WE HAD MUTUAL FRIENDS.
I GOT TO SAY HE LET ME
OUT OF HIS HOUSE FOR THE
CONTEST.
WONDERFUL.
AND THE REST IS
HISTORY.
NOW YOU'VE GOT THIS
SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS AND
A WONDERFUL PARTNERSHIP
IT SOUNDS LIKE.
YES.
I'M TOLD GIVING BACK
TELL US MORE ABOUT THAT.
YEAH, AS A KID
GROWING UP SURFING, IT'S
SUPPORT.
SURFERS.
TALENTED MUSICIANS.
THERE'S TALENTED PEOPLE
IN ALL AREAS.
WE'RE OUT HERE IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN.
UNFORTUNATELY, A LOT OF
THE TALENTED SURFERS
FROM HAWAI'I ARE NOT
GETTING THE SUPPORT THEY
NEED.
AS A YOUNG SURFER
MYSELF, I HAD TO KIND OF
KICK AND SCRATCH TO GET
EVERYTHING TO MAKE IT MY
CAREER.
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GIVE
BACK FOR ALL THE YEARS
WITH MY SURF SHOPS.
WHEN BRIAN AND LUIS
BECAME MY PARTNERS, ALL
OF US HAD THAT SAME
VALUES.
WE REALLY REALIZED THE
IMPORTANCE OF GIVING
BACK.
TELL ME WHAT YOU GUYS
ARE DOING TO HELP THE
COMMUNITY AND THESE
THE MEN MENEHUNE SURF
COMPETITION.
IT'S BETTER THAN THE
TRIPLE CROWN AS FAR AS
I'M CONCERNED.
THAT EVENT WE TRY TO
DONATE AT LEAST A DOZEN
BOARDS, BIKES, DIFFERENT
THINGS LIKE THAT, AND
THEN WHETHER IT'S THE
SCHOOLS, THE SHELTERS,
COMPETITIONS, WE RUN
CONTESTS.
IT'S HUGE.
WE DO STORIES ALL THE
TIME ON THESE
NON-PROFITS OR OTHER
ORGANIZATIONS THAT NEED
HELP AND THEY DEPEND SO
MUCH ON THESE COMMUNITY
PARTNERS WHICH IS WHAT
YOU'RE DOING, SO THAT'S
WONDERFUL.
BRIAN, BESIDES GIVING
OURSELVES IS JUST
TREATING EVERYBODY LIKE
FAMILY AND JUST ALOHA,
GIVE THEM A LITTLE MORE
ALOHA.
WE DO SURF LESSONS AS
WELL AS TOURS, RENT BODY
SURFS, STAND UP PADDLE
BOARDS, BICYCLES.
YOU MENTION SURF
LESSONS.
LUIS, SOME OF YOUR SURF
INSTRUCTORS, THEY ARE
PRETTY IMPRESSIVE NAMES,
RIGHT?
NOT TO MENTION A FEW,
WE HAVE LUKE SHEPARDSON.
BESIDES A GREAT
INDIVIDUAL, HE'S A GREAT
SURFER.
WHICH COULD HAVE A HEAVY
SURFING HERITAGE AND
MORE THAN JUST A SHOP
EXPERIENCE, WE WANTED TO
MAKE SURE THAT ANYBODY
THAT COMES TO THE SHOP
REMEMBERS EVERYTHING
ABOUT IT, NOT JUST AN
EXPERIENCE BUT
EVERYTHING ELSE.
YEAH, NO, THAT'S
DOING GREAT WORK AND TO
HAVE INSTRUCTORS THAT
ARE SOME OF THE BEST
SURFERS IN THE STATE IS
DISCOUNT THAT YOU'RE
OFFERING TO OUR "LIVING
808" VIEWERS?
IS THAT RIGHT?
YEAH.
I'M PUTTING YOU ON
THE SPOT RIGHT NOW.
BASICALLY WE ALWAYS
OFFER KAMA'AINA,
MILITARY, LET'S SAY ALL
THE WAY UP THROUGH THE
HOLIDAY WEEKEND HERE
COMING TO MONDAY WE CAN
GIVE ANY LOCALS 20% OFF.
WONDERFUL.
AND WE DO THAT ANYWAY
THOUGH.
THAT'S WONDERFUL,
THAT'S WONDERFUL.
SAY TRINI SENT YOU.
YUP, YUP.
WE'RE ALMOST OUT OF
TIME BUT WE WANT TO
HEAR, WHAT WAS YOUR
MOTIVE BEHIND PARTNERING
WITH HA'INA.
LANDON'S DOING REALLY
WELL WITH HIS MUSIC
RIGHT NOW.
I SEE MUSIC VERY SIMILAR
TALENTED MUSICIANS.
I WAS THINKING, WOW, IT
WOULD BE KIND OF COOL TO
GET INVOLVED AND HELP
SOME OF THESE YOUNG
WITH A LOCAL PRODUCER
HERE.
HE'S PRODUCED SOME MUSIC
FOR THESE GUYS, THE LATE
ONES, WHO ARE A VERY
WE'VE HAD RON ARTIST
ON THE SHOW AND YOU'RE
RIGHT ABOUT THAT.
THERE'S SO MUCH TALENT
ON THE NORTH SHORE AND
IN HAWAI'I IN GENERAL.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE
