For a Hawaiian Beach Boy, the Sea is the one constant, the one thing he knows he can go back to...
DUKE P. KAHANAMOKU said,
"My (Ohana) Family believes we came from the Ocean, and that's where we're going back."

''The legacy of the Waikiki & Hawaiian Beach Boys''
Outside of Canoes at Waikiki
9:00 AM to 1:00 P.M.
We always need to Remember the Legacy of the Hawaiian and Waikiki Beach Boys for their Passionate,
Respect and the Aloha on this Beautiful Beach of Waikiki.
I ka noho pu ana a `ike i ke aloha. It is only when one has lived with another that one knows the meaning of Aloha (Love).
You could always believe in them, because a lot of the past beach boys came from the old school of Waikiki Beach Boys. The old school was a bunch of ''Men that Work on the Beach'' for only the two hotels, back in the day known as the Moana (Ocean) and the Royal Hawaiian (Pink One) a long with the Outrigger Canoe Club that was in the middle of the two hotels. The Beach Boys back then was all about giving to the tourist and visitor's from all over the world that came to the beaches of Waikiki...

We always have to Remember that all of their legacy will live on in the Heart's of everyone, and the Visitor's with all the Memories and Unforgettable Experience of our past Ho'aloha (Friend's) Loved Ones and the Beach Boys.
Come on down and paddle out with us on this Special day in Memory of our Loved Ones, Ohana, Kupuna and Friends.  Spread the word to the all your Friend's, Ohana and Loved Ones so you all can be a part of this Memorial.  Hawaiian's believe life comes from the sea, and by showing up for the Annual Beach Boy Paddle Out is what this is all about. "Ho'o Pono" (Righteous, Respectful, to what is Right) let's show some Respect to our loved ones.
Mahalo Willie Grace

Aloha from Style and Grace I hope you enjoy the work of my Art and Photography.
An interest in Photography soon developed in this interest and love for taking Photos has grown stronger ever since I took my first shots. I've had no type of Schooling or Formal Training in Photographic. I learned how the old Hawaiian fashioned way. Through the Hands on Experience of taking literally thousands of photo's, and, learning from all my mistakes. So that is how I develop my own think that I called Style and Grace.
I would like to talk about how I feel or describes my Photography. First of all you have to have this Passions and Aloha
(Love) for Photography, and 2nd of all you have to give Thanks to the one and only Akua (God) for all the Beauty that he puts in front of us everyday, and all I do is Capture it to from him to share with everyone.

Sharing my Photography allows me to share my images that I capture
with those who can Appreciate the Beauty of the Hawaiian Islands, and the World
Because that is what Hawai'i and Hawaiians are all about Sharing.

I'm also a 1977 California Men's Surfing Champion in Short Boarding Division's. He is also a 1977 California State Paddle Boarding Champion, and a Longboard Champion in the 1989/90 Buffalo's Big Board Surfing Classes in Hawai'i and in Japan. I have travel all over the U.S.A. and parts of the World to Surf. I am also known to a lot of people as guy who Surf and dose Filming who knows me has a Writer/Producer/Director/Filmaker in the Surfing World.

My Project:
I am working on is about my life and times of being on the beach of Waikiki, and seeing want it was like growing up as a Hawaiian Beach Boy. So I name the Film or Movie after want is known to be a lifestyle, and to have been there to see so many changes on this beach. This is where Duke Paoa Kahanamoku, and his friend's or co workers known as the beach boys who would live, play and work to make a living, and to show everyone want the Aloha Sprit is all about. I have called it or have name it as ''The Men That Work The Beach'' witch is part of my Movie, and a Book about a Documentary of the Ancient Art of Surfing and being a Hawaiian Beach Boy.

It is my KULEANA:
My Kuleana ( My Own Personal Sense of Responsibility, and I feel I have to be held Accountable ) do to this research, and to do some specializing work that well look into the past of Modern Day Hawaiian Beaches and Surfing. That is why for me it is my Dream that I feel, and know I need to do this project, and to go along with my Mana, Roots, Culture and the History of the Waikiki Beach Boy's. My work and Photo's have been Published in Surfer, Surfing along with Japan and other Local Hawai‘i Newspapers or Magazines Worldwide including the Internet News Clips. I have also Produced Local Commercials and Ad's for Video Projects. I have taking many Photo's and Video's that have been seen on the Gotcha and Backdoor TV Shows, and other Videos and TV Surf Show around the world. A lot of my stuff was also sold to People who were working on their own projects and needing stock video or clip's of their team rider's in Hawaii to add to their own video project. So for me I feel that right now is the time to have this Film, Book and my Story to be share with the world on want they all have done. Right now with myself, and You the people of the Hawaiian Islands all need to Stand Up for want is PONO (Right), and let the world know that it needs to be said, and told about our Past, Present and the Future of One of the Best, and most Beautiful Place known as Waikiki.

The Waikiki and Hawaiian Beach Boys:
The Waikiki and Hawaiian Beach Boys are a few good men on the beach that is now part of your ''Ohana'' family. With the Sand and the Sea that belongs to each and every one of us, because we love the (Moana) ocean so much that we must mold and shape her future as we see it for the benefit of her people and Hawaii. Waikiki beach and the beach boys share, and got the word starting with the Aloha spirit, and it is always here. The (ALOHA) love is here also, and the ocean is here to play with and learn the sport of the (Ali'i) Kings surfing from our people of the Aina (land) because it is our heritage, and it will always be here and for ever. People around the world back in the day would travel to the 50th State because of the words Aloha, Waikiki, Surfing, Duke Kahanamoku, Hula Girls, Grass Shacks, Diamond Head and to see the ''Brown Skin Boys know as the Hawaiian Beach Boys'' of Waikiki.

Willie Grace of Style & Grace Surf Productions

2006-11-04T21:09:00.000-08:00

Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Willie Grace.
I'm a native Hawaiian, born and raised in Hawaii. I have been surfing for over 30 years and am a former Hawaii and California State Surfing Champion. All of the surf spots in the Hawaiian Islands have been my play grounds for decades. You are in good hands with a "local Hawaiian Beach Boy" who knows these waters well. I know the breaks, channels, tides, reefs and overall critical information needed to ensure your safety. Teaching surfing is personally satisfying for me. I teach because I feel it is important to perpetuate Hawaiian Surfing by sharing this great sport with others. Not to mention, it's great to see that look on someones face the first time they ride their first wave!

NO WAI KE KULEANAWHOSE RESPONSIBILITY IS IT?NO KAUAOURS
We as Hawaiian Beach Boys and Wave Riders in Waikiki are responsible to gaze deeply into that blue wave where we get our Mana. Waves may look the same at first glance, but if you look deeper into the wave you will see the foundation on which the blue wave beauty exists. Our Kupuna have perpetuated Hawaiian Surfing in their own way while firmly grounding themselves in the foundation on which Hawaiian Surfers have evolved and grown.Growth in any form needs a firm foundation. Hawaiian Beach Boys, Canoe Paddlers and Surfer's are no different, As Hawaiian and Waikiki Beach Boys and Watermen, we have a Kuleana to make sure that the foundation of Hawaiian and Waikiki Beach Boys is solid so that our offspring have a clear understanding of where they came from and who they are. We need to teach others to "Honor" those Kupunas who have stood fast in preserving and perpetuating this foundation of Waikiki and Hawaiian beaches for all of us to enjoy.NOW it is our time and our KULEANA to make sure that this foundation of Hawaiian beaches is preserved and perpetuated for the FUTURE GENERATION of the KEIKI (children) of HAWAII"...
UA MAU KE EA O KA AINA I KA PONO"The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness"

The Men That Work The Beach...
The Film & Book by: Willie Grace

A documentary film is in the works chronicling the lives of the Hawaiian Beach Boy, the group of native Hawaiians who have made their living by teaching surfing, swimming, giving outrigger canoe rides and the like at Hawaii's most popular beaches thoughout the 20th Century. We want to tell the real stories going as far back as 1896 (and earlier) to the present day of what this lifestyle entailed, and the important mark that the Beach Boys have left on Hawaiian culture, surfing and watersports. I am very interrested in interviewing Beach Boys as well as thier Ohana (family) and friends. There are many misconceptions about the Waikiki and Hawaiian Beach Boys and I want to set the story straight. We need to document this almost bygone era for our keiki (kids) of Hawaii so they can be proud and carry on the tradition in the old Hawaiian way. I am looking for stories ( funny, happy, sad or others) We are also looking for rare archival footage, photos, newpaper clipping and other memorabilia as well. We plan to make this a project to HUI (to unite or come together and assemble) the Hawaiian Beach Boys and share the Aloha on a very large scale. We will also be doing a Beach Boys party on the beach of Waikiki at one of the hotels on the oeacn front. The world has so much to learn from our Hawaiian culture and lifestyle. The Waikiki and Hawaiian Beach Boys have been the unofficial Ambassadors of Aloha and it is now time to make it official. Your kokua (help) will be appreciated in any form. This is a film about the PAST, PRESENT and the FUTURE of the Waikiki and Hawaiian Beach Boys....We are also looking for rare archival footage, photos, newpaper clipping and other memorabilia as well. I am also looking for stories about the beach boys. If you would like to help me out in anyway you can e-mail me. At present, the documentary is in the developmental stages, as we are continuing our efforts towards comprehensive research and fundraising to make some money for the movie.

A little about the ''BOOK'' by Willie Grace
The PALAPALA was written in the hopes that you will see a better understanding of the IKAIKA, '' FORCE'' which keep us Hawaiian and Waikiki Beach Boys to stay Dedicated, Faithful and always keep that friendships with people from around the world with that ''ALOHA SPIRITS ALIVE. The ''MANA'O'' expressed in this collection of individuals bio's of the beach boys reflect who have contributed there lives to protect the ultimate sacrifice and deepest respect for the feeling of ''ALOHA'' love for the beach.

''MEKE ALOHA PA'U OLE A HUI HO''''WITH LOVE AND AFFECTION UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN''
In Remembrance...
For me I know that these are the "MEN that Work The Beach" that share and spread the Aloha on the beach of WAIKIKI for many years: - WILLIE GRACE''I know that I missed a lot of the beach boys and friend's after all those years, that you have been gone, but at least now I know their at peace and resting out at SEA.'' You would never think how much of a difference they made with people from around the world, and how much we have come to appreciate you for the time that you have spend with us, when you were there also for all of us at one time in our life. The one thing I know about some of the Beach Boys is that, it was never about the Money or the Status, because their are only a few that will share and spread the Aloha to everyone that they meet. As for myself, Willie Grace, along with Rudy King Jr. and the Waikiki and Hawaiian Beach Boys who knows that sometimes there are better things that are as or important then making Money, like there is a thing in giving back and making sure that people who have made sacrifices for me and all of us can never be forgotten about also, and to never forget that it's part of our Culture and our Roots.So that is why we need to make sure there is a real understanding that we all came from something so beautiful and so very important to all of us and most of all to the
''MEN that WORK the BEACH''NEVER FORGET THE WORD ''ALOHA'' and NEVER FORGET WHERE IT CAME from WAIKIKI AND THE HAWAIIAN BEACH BOYS RIGHT HERE ON THE BEACH!!!TREAT EVERYONE THE SAME AND SHARE THE ''ALOHA'' (LOVE) WITH THEM BECAUSE SOMETIMES PEOPLE NEED IT MORE THEN WE CAN SEE FROM THE OUTSIDE, BECAUSE ''ALOHA IS ONLY BROWN SKI DEEP INSIDE OF US' ' THAT MONEY CAN NOT BUY AND YOU ONLY CAN FEEL IT GIVING TO YOU FROM US...Words by:Willie GraceHAWAIIAN & WAIKIKI BEACH BOYSMAHALO VERY MUCH: WILLIE GRACE
