ZANE SCHWEITZER
« on: December 29, 2017, 04:02:39 PM »
Is zane hawaiian at all ? I heard an interview where he was trying to learn hawaiian and was talking about "his" culture and I thought his family was all california people ?

I doubt it, but he's doing a great job embodying the Aloha spirit and enlightening the masses about the beautiful history of Hawaii. He rips, he's having fun, and he's a good kid who's spent most of his life as a waterman on Maui.
It's not overhead to me!
8'8" L-41 ST and a whole pile of boards I rarely use.

You can't pull this stuff off unless you have Hawaiian pedigree. 

The combination of SUP, Windsurf, Surf shortboard & longboard, Big-wave, probably Kite and winning the ultimate waterman among other things.

Super sweet videos! I always thought the young and talented ripper was from CA. But I really know nothing of his background. I like all the HI words and terms they are teaching. "Wili Wili"! I think that language is probably my second favorite after Spanish. Try singing "Aloha Oe" sometime! I can never get through it all the way! That is one of the most beautiful and soulful songs ever.
...and I always wondered what "Pono" meant. Seems just right.  :)

One could go into a mall in Kansas and ask a teenager "What is a surfer looking for?, and the answer will always be, "The perfect wave"

Last year while I was visiting a friend who lives in Zane's neighborhood, we ran into him at Launiupoko beach. I introduced myself and my friend and we talked a bit, super friendly kid. He had that wooden Alaia with him and I asked him about it. He said he found a fallen tree in the hills behind his house so he dragged the trunk home and made it himself. Pretty cool!

Every time I see Zane I just laugh. He's so full of life. Great guy. And Diane loves to feed him, She knows most of the Maui kids by their dessert preference. Connor is "Three Berry Cobbler". Zane is "everything".

Instagram Bot... Your friend probably uses simple hashtags like #standuppaddle right? Zane's bot looks for those tags, follows, then unfollows.

Both Zane and is dad Matt (one of the earliest windsurfing stars) are born and raised in Maui.  Matt's dad Hoyle (co inventor of modern windsurfing along with Jim Drake) was originally from California.

Probably......totally useless growing your feed that way unless you want no interaction.....but guess that won’t worry him. I’ll not tell him.....as he reckons Zane likes his pics.
