Who talks you out of your worst ideas, and into your best ones? For the first time, we hand the mic to our mate Chris “Mysto” Miyashiro: surfer, artist, voyager. Mysto takes us into Hawaiʻi’s underground voyaging communities, where backyard builders keep canoe sailing traditions alive with humility and resourcefulness. In four vignettes, we hear stories of friendship, loss, healing, and bold dreaming. Mysto sits down with some of the men who shaped him: Cromwell Day, Uncle Kiko Kitazawa...

Laura Crane: Befriending Fear
Have you had someone believe in your potential before you could see it yourself? Laura Crane is a big wave surfer from North Devon. She came of age in a surf industry that measured her worth by how much exposure her image could earn.

Laura set her sights on heavy water. She is the first British wo...

Bryanna Bradley: All That Lingers
How good are you at convincing people you're fine? On a burnout-inspired whim, Bryanna Bradley booked a one-way ticket from inland Canada to Hawaii.

Ziggy Alberts: Wildly Underprepared
What does it take for you to slow down? Ziggy Alberts started playing live at 17, admittedly underprepared, but fizzing. By 21, he was staring at a studio ceiling noticing the lights had gone dim, but no one had touched the switch. It led him to break down to a friend. After years of “hell-for-leather” world-touring, he'd finally stayed still long enough to feel what he'd been outrunning. Ziggy is a songwriter, surfer, and founder of Common Folk Records, the independent label he built with hi...
