Halloween BBQ's

2011-11-01T11:21:00.000-07:00

Went to 2 different BBQ's to celebrate Halloween with some friends and fam. First stop was at Marlon's in town for some pupus and beers. Only 4 kids stopped by for candy not sure if their parents were scared to let the kids approach the loud braddahs BBQ-ing!

Second stop Michele and Pono's Block BBQ / Halloween party in Ewa Beach. Everyone in attendance was in costumes and playing beer pong. The grill was roaring and the drinks were flowing and everybody was having a good time. This is a tradition that according to Michele they've been doing ever since she was a kid. Now it's her responsibility to carry on this tradition and from what I witnessed she's doing a great job. Goodtimes Chele!

Happy Halloween

2011-10-30T22:57:00.001-07:00

The fights were aight and our boy BJ lost by unanimous decision and then retired right after. What we going do now? Now all the local people got nobody fo root for unless Reagan Penn steps up and fills his braddahs shoes! It was a good time nonetheless celebrating braddah Kyle's birthday with all da boys.

The "Shaka Press" makes it's debut!

2011-10-22T12:18:00.000-07:00

It's been since June that I finished the "Shaka Press". My original intention was to have the first tees printed in time for our summer bbq's out at Magic Island by the end of June but ran into a few obstacles along the way. After watching Youtube about a hundred times on how to coat and burn the image onto a screen I pretty much failed about 5 times. After going through a whole container of emulsion and ruining the very first screen, I bought a new batch of emulsion to see if that was the problem. Low and behold I was finally able to wash out the image the very first try. All along there was something wrong with the initial batch of emulsion and it wasn't my incompetence that was holding back my progress. Once I got the screen done I called all the friends to come down with some tees and beers and let them print their own. Everybody was psyched on the process! The drying process on the other hand wasn't quite as successful. We used a heat gun from Marlon's paint shop but didn't know how long to dry the tees for. I found out a couple days later when all my white laundry had black ink all over it that we didn't dry it long enough!!!

Taking your plan and making something out of it

2011-10-21T04:12:00.000-07:00

The plan

2011-10-21T04:10:00.001-07:00

From idea, to inspiration, now for the plan. This is only part of the plan mind you but nonetheless this is a D.I.Y. project first and foremost.

Some inspiration behind the idea

2011-10-21T03:38:00.000-07:00

With any legit concept you have to have some inspiration for what it is that you are doing. In this case the inspiration comes from the act of grilling with your family and friends while doing what you love to do.

The begining of an idea

2011-10-21T03:33:00.001-07:00

As with any other project, concept, or whatever it is that comes to reality one has to have an idea. This idea came about back in 2007 and here we are in 2011. What took so long? Alot of self doubt? The lack of commitment or dedication? Laziness? All of the above? Whatever the case something lit a fire under my ass and the ball got rolling.

"Back In Town" BBQ

2011-08-24T18:00:00.000-07:00

This past weekend the SXA ohana had the priveleage of hosting a BBQ for the boys from the "Back in Town" artshow. Andy Davis, Tyler Warren, and fellow local boy Jeff Canham were in town for their opening reception on Friday evening at the Greenroom Hawaii. Jun Yoshimura the owner of the Greenroom Hawaii came prepared with some BBQ ribs and bacon wrapped asparagus. Let me tell you those 2 dishes were winners! Val from the Greenroom also brought some ono tasting short ribs! There was also salmon, steak, chamorro chicken, asparagus, zucchini and oysters on the grill. Parks the mastermind behind Korpse Surfboards Hawaii made an appearance to check up on all his teamriders as well as to talk story with fellow shaper Tyler Warren. I was just kidding when I said teamriders but Parks sure does have a bunch of Korpse supporters! As always goodtimes!

Sancho's Homecoming BBQ

2011-08-23T10:47:00.000-07:00

After a year of living in the Afghan desert protecting our country Sancho is back! This past Saturday Dyson and his ohana held a backyard style bbq to celebrate this special occassion. Instead of it being a surprise bbq for Sancho it was the opposite. Dyson kept tight lipped about Sancho being home so when everyone showed up it was one of those WHAAATTT!!! type moments. Sancho has been to Korea, South Carolina, and Afghanistan over the past couple years. He's gotten married, became a father, and fought in a war during this time. I've known him ever since he was 15 years old and have watched this kid grow into a man whose accomplished alot of great things in such a short period of time. I'd like to say that we're all proud of him and glad that he's back home safely here in Hawaii.

My friend Jon Bruchal is back in town from Fairfield, California. He's currently in the Air Force and has been gone from the islands for a little over a year. Bruchal is from Ewa Beach so when we were talking about where to have our little pow wow after work we agreed on Haubush. We caught up on all on the goodtimes over some pupus and beers the ususal local style.

Pat's BBQ on the North Shore Winter 2009

2011-07-30T14:40:00.000-07:00

As you can tell by the date I've been sitting on these photos for quite a while. Pat held his yearly bbq at his place at Ehukai Beach Park. The surf was ridiculously big and the weather was picture perfect. Pat's place had a pool, a deck which you could see from Rocky Point all the way down to Log Cabins and a gateway straight down to the beach. As usual Pat's whose who cast of friends were also in attendance. This was one of those days where you wish could happen more often. North Shore + beach house + bbq + friends + fam + great weather + cooler full of cold beverages = SHAKAS X ALOHAS!

Kenny's 1 Year Anniversary Memorial BBQ

2011-07-26T00:51:00.001-07:00

This past Saturday July 23rd was the 1 year anniversary memorial BBQ for Kenny Brimer. The festivities were held at Ft. DeRussy Beach in Waikiki. It's hard to believe that it's been 1 year since the passing of our dear friend Kenny. Lillie Brown (Kenny's fiance') chose this location because this is where Kenny and all of his homies would come to bbq, and hangout. Alot of those same friends once again showed up to celebrate Kenny's life and trade stories about their time with him. There were multiple BBQ's going within the party and all different types of ono grinds were on the menu. Carlyon brought a spicy handmade thai sausage and some marinated shrimp that was insanely good. Rene had his grill on full tilt next to mine with some steak, chicken, and other assorted meats. Not quite sure what he had going over there but it looked good! On my end I had a cooler of ice cold beer to tend to and moms secret recipe of Chammoro marinated chicken along with some steaks and Mays teri burgers. Unfortunately I never got to make it to the serving table to partake in all the good food due to all the activity going on around us. There were alot of friends I haven't seen in a long time and some who traveled from abroad. Mostly everybody had there ohana there with them which really made it a special occasion. Not too often you see all of the homies outside of the skatepark or a night out on the town so this was definitely something refreshing. I'd like to send out a big mahalo to Lillie Brown and her ohana for inviting us to be a part of Kenny's celebration. It was goodtimes and we really should get together more often. I know Kenny was definitely smiling down knowing that all of his friends and fam were there for him and celebrating his life the way that he would've wanted it to be. Aloha brother Kenny!

Mikala's Grad BBQ

2011-07-19T02:54:00.000-07:00

2 down 1 to go! This past weekend we celebrated my son Mikala's graduation from Pearl City High School. Kala wanted a low key party more along the lines of our typical "Family Style BBQ" instead of the full on rent a hall and cater the food kine li' dat. Uncle Marlon and I along with my mom and Arlene got the menu together and arranged for the spread for the day. The usual Shakas x Alohas fam as well as Mikala's uncles, aunties, gradmas and grandpas, cousins, and so on and so forth showed up to help celebrate this special occasion. We got front row seating at our usual spot at Ala Moana Beach Park along with the a little bit of surf and great weather to top things off. The food was good as usual and the drinks quite cold. There's was even a some shave ice to add to add to good measure! Goodtimes as usual with the family and friends on a typical beautiful day here in Hawaii! Congratulations goes out to Mikala on making it through the first stage of graduating from high school! Now the question is.....which road do you take next?!!!

Be on the lookout for next weeks BBQ!

Kaka'ako Park July 4, 2011

2011-07-14T15:12:00.000-07:00

For the first time in awhile the crew had no plans for July 4th due to the burnout factor. We've been bbq-ing for the past 2 months every single weekend. July 4th was supposed to be a chill day but I wasn't about to stay in the house with the weather as good as it was. Knowing that every beach on the island especially on the south shore was going to be packed I figured I'd take my chances. First try was Kaka'ako Beach Park right before Kewalos and Ala Moana. Unbelievably it was empty! We got front row seats on the top of the hill with plenty of parking. Just a couple blocks away at Ala Moana Beach Park our usual spot was 50,000 people who had camped over night to get a front row view of the fireworks show later that night. There's not much pics of our spread because I kept it simple (dogs, juice, beer, and chips) for the simple fact that I had no idea who would be showing up. By the end of the day we accumulated a small crew. My brother and his fam came straight off a flight from SF and Marlon and his fam decided to make an appearance. The kids got to slip n slide and go swimming and the adults got to enjoy some cold drinks and a beautiful view!

Be on the lookout for our next event. Mikala's Grad BBQ this weekend at Magic Island.

Nos Birthday @ Kaimana Beach

2011-07-03T00:00:00.000-07:00

Who doesn't know Nos? Who doesn't Nos know? Does it really matter? As a matter of fact yes it does. Nos is one of those brothers who literally knows just about everybody. This probably comes from his ability to tell a good story on just about every and any subject that you could possibly imagine especially if it involves cars, bikes, motorcycles, skateboarding, surfing, mma, the 80's and 90's punk rock scene in and out of Hawaii, and just about all the cool things we like to do here in Hawaii. Nos has been there and done that seriously. Nos is one of those friends who's always willing to lend his friends a hand when they need one and always getting everybody together when a special occassion comes along. In this case it was Nos' 39th and it just so happens that a couple of friends were here from the mainland (coincidence?) as well as everybody who could make it. Lot's of people I haven't seen in a long time. If everybody would've showed up who knows Nos we might have had to go across the street to Kapiolani Park and shut it down!!! Anyways the grills were going strong, the boombox was boomin', stories being swapped, kids running all over the place, and a goodtime in full effect. It was a goodtime and it couldn't have been for a better reason than Nos' Birthday!

Father's Day 2011 Ala Moana Beach Park

2011-06-25T01:28:00.001-07:00

This past Father's Day we got up early once again and staked our claim to a front row spot at Ala Moana Beach Park. Marly Marlon once again was coming off a late night bender in his backyard celebrating the recent purchase of his new tiki torches! I got to his pad at around 8am and he and Maria were already busy with the gondooli rice and ribs. I had the steak and shrimp covered, and the rest was up to everyone else. This was also a special day for Jeff and Kyle who celebrated their first Father's Day. Marlon and I had "da keedz" helping out with grillin' some of the food so we could relax and have a few beers. Marshy, his lady friend, Kai, and Dyson went out and sampled the incoming swell. The beach park was jumping as usual with hundreds of families bbq'ing, hot rods and bikes rolling through, and a bunch of random entertainment going on all around. Although all the dad's put in work to make this all happen it was a great day to say the least and we wouldn't have had it any other way!

Go ahead and put your feet up, relax, and let your kids do all the work (you know that's not gonna happen)! Be on the lookout for the update on our Shakas x Alohas "Father's Day BBQ"!

Who doesn't remember Harry Kojima. Harry seemed to always be on TV when I was growing up with his show "Let's Go Fishing". He was like an uncle to everyone who watched his show. I don't know about you guys but I have a few relatives who are just like Harry and probably were inspired in one way or another by the man. Hawaii has lost yet another local legend. RIP Uncle Harry Kojima.

Jeff's 36th

2011-06-08T00:18:00.000-07:00

After a heavy night of thunder, lightning, and 3 bottles of wine with the Warren's at Auntie Pastos I woke up to a very questionable Saturday morning. Questionable in a sense that I wasn't sure if I was still sleeping or awake as well as if the weather was going to cooperate for the days big event. Still trying to figure out what went on the night before I dragged myself out of bed packed up the van and headed over to Magic Island to set up shop for the day. We were going to celebrate my brother Jeff's 36th over some BBQ, beers, and surf with some family and friends. Not only did the weather cooperate it ended up being a typical picturesque Hawaiian day. The sun was out all day, the surf was on the rise, and the friends kept on rolling in. The BBQ grill was fired up all day long and there was nothing but ono grinds coming off of it. Big Mahalos to all that showed up and helped make it a great day.

Memorial Day BBQ @ White Plains

2011-06-01T09:45:00.000-07:00

This past Memorial Day we went down to Barbers Point's White Plains beach to celebrate the holiday. My pops and Judy were in town from Phenix City, Alabama so we thought we'd show them how we do it local style with some good grinds at the beach with family and friends. Jeff, Nicole, Marlon, my pops, and I all marinated our own variations of BBQ. Ray and Heather later showed up with some bulgogi (Korean BBQ meat) but by then when we already tapping out from all the BBQ we ate earlier. Aside from our BBQ there were hundreds of tents everywhere doing up their own BBQ. I could only imagine the variety of what was on each and every one of their menus. This had to be the most people I've ever witnessed BBQ-ing at one time here. It looked like a tailgate at Aloha Stadium for a UH Football game. Being that it was Memorial Day our thoughts were with all the people who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom as well as for family and friends who are no longer with us. This makes days like this much more appreciative and special. Stay tuned for our next Shakas x Alohas BBQ next week at Magic Island.

Vans Syndicate Party Los Angeles

2011-02-22T00:42:00.000-08:00

Photos from a trip I took with Alf back a couple years for JJ's Vans party. Along with JJ was Mr. Cartoon, the WTAPS guys from Japan and a whole bunch of other dudes lurking. Pretty cool show art wise especially Mr. Cartoons stuff. Bunch of old bombs rolled up along with some 64's and then some of the Sinners as well. Alf and I got wasted that night and walked a couple miles back to our hotel at around 2 in the morning then woke up early and caught a flight back home to Hawaii.

This is my buddy Stef who I went to high school with back in
Sacramento in 1986. We used to skateboard together and do all kinda
mischevous stuff together. 25 years later I find out he's in a band
and they were stopping in Honolulu for a show. Got to catch up and
shoot the shit about life, golf, poker, and everything that's gone on
over the past 25. Good to see you my brother and hope to see you
before the next 25 is up!

Vans / Eighty Four Skate Co. / Fitted

2011-02-16T21:17:00.000-08:00

This project has been a couple years in the making. Rene and Keola from Fitted Hawaii were throwing around the idea about possibly working together with Eighty Four Skate Co. and Vans on putting together a shoe. Not just your typical colab but something that we felt would represent the Kama'aina as well as Hawaii in general. The first version was vintage topless Hawaiian pinup girls. This was something that both Fitted and EFSC felt good about. When we brought the idea up to Vans they axed it due to the nudity all though it was in a tasteful manner. So a year or so goes by and Vans hit us up this time and asked if we were still interested in working on something. I went back to Ola and Rene and it was on. We chose the Era Pro because of the Era's timeless style as well as the full functionality of it being a shoe you could skate. Ola went through Fitteds' archive and chose one of their most iconic designs in the "Kala" aloha print. A couple years, alot of hurdles, and alot of patience and here it is. When the opportunity to work with an iconic brand like Vans comes along you put your best foot forward because opportunities like these don't come along very often. I hope you guys enjoy this!

Support local before there's nothing local to support. City Mill has
been around for over 100 years. Not too many businesses can lay claim
to that much less big box stores. So before you hit up Home Depot or
Lowes be sure to check City Mill out first.

Support Local

2011-01-23T13:28:00.001-08:00

I was walking through Foodland the other day and while I was buying
milk I noticed these "local" tags next to all Hawaii made products.
That's pretty awesome that Foodland is making an effort to help push
local made products. I mean they always have but now they're
highlighting it. Be sure to shop local and buy local whenever you can
or else there won't be anything local left for the future generations.

Why did the rooster cross the road?

2010-12-28T14:52:00.001-08:00

Saw this guy cross Moanalua Rd today during the lunch time rush hour.
He just casually walked in the crosswalk without incident as if this
was normal. Why did the rooster cross the road? This guy said "because
had one chic on da other side"!
