About This Item
Honolulu:: MindRaising Press, October, 2002.. 1st Trade Edition.. Hardbound . BINDING/CONDITION: blue binding; lightly rubbed at the corners and spine ends, otherwise a Very Good+ book with a Near Fine dust jacket; publisher's price on the jacket flap is intact.. 8vo (9.25 inches tall) . Bibliography, index, appendix. Decorated endpapers. Description: Includes a section of photo plates. This is the only biography of one of Hawaii's greatest heroes. Eddie Aikau was a humble man who was larger than life. As a surfer, he rode the biggest waves in the world; as a lifeguard, he saved hundreds of lives from the North Shore's treacherous waters; and as a proud Hawaiian he sacrificed his life to save his fellow sailors aboard the voyaging canoe Hokule'a. But more than a biography of a courageous waterman, the author also tells the story of a modern Hawaii and Eddie's role in the Hawaiian Renaissance during the 1970s. The book is based on numerous interviews with family and friends, along with Hawaii's leading watermen and scholars, and Coleman weaves together their memories in an informative story.
