It's deeply appreciated. I love hearing these stories about the graffiti. I wonder if you know when the graffiti was made?Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292408696265388415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815568705079269126.post-39944327399229972902014-05-05T11:10:51.541-10:002014-05-05T11:10:51.541-10:00Just felt the need to correct some of the statemen...Just felt the need to correct some of the statements that were made above:<br /><br /><br />"Makena Underground" is not a music group. It is in reference to Makena being in a fairly remote location and to the long enduring but rarely talked about surfing and skimboarding community that exists outside of the mainstream "surf media" exposure.<br /><br /><br />"Makana" does not reference the Hawaiian singer. It is in reference to a locally famous dog named Makana who frequented Big Beach in the 1980's and is also the Hawaiian name of a locally famous Kihei surfer and skimboarder who was also known as "Dougie". Both of whom have passed away and are remembered fondly by the "Old Timers".<br /><br /><br /><br />The name on the left is David Chapman and the other name is Justice Case McLin, both of whom were well known in the local Kihei surfing, skateboarding and skimboarding scene of the 1980's and 90's - and who have passed away.<br /><br /><br />"Maui Skimmers" is in reference to the local skimboard company which was instrumental in the early days of high performance skimboarding on Maui in the 1980's and which still makes the unique hand-shaped skimboards preferred by many of the skimboarders on Maui.<br /><br /><br />The graffiti on the back sides was added more recently and as far as I know it has no relevance to the early days of Makena & Big Beach surf culture. <br /><br /><br /><br />Mahalo (Thanks) for posting these pics!Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292408696265388415noreply@blogger.com
