On the Valley Isle we have a different way of doings things, called Maui Style. You can feel it in a crisp upcountry morning, or in the cool tradewinds on a summer day at Big Beach, Makena.
Hear its melody in the strumming ukuleles of backyard jams and sounds of kumu hula in rythmnic chanting. Taste it in a glazed doughnut from Komoda’s Bakery or a local style, teriyaki plate lunch.
Sense it in the hugs of auntie at graduation time or a traditional May Day celebration at Waihe’e school. Smell it in Grandma’s brewed coffee or Azeka’s ribs grilling on the barbecue.
Make your own pikake flower lei, walk in the misty rain, or drop in on the first big swell of the summer. Just reminders of who we are, where we live and why we choose to live here. Be a part of that spirit called Maui Style, a unique blend of customs, traditions and proud heritage.
