Although Makaha is a small, isolated town on the Western coast of O'ahu, it has produced some of the most intriguing Hawaiians of the twentieth century: world-class surfers Buffalo Keaulana and his sons Rusty and Brian; beautiful skin diver and surfing pro Rell Sunn; and larger-than-life singer and songwriter Israel Kamakawiwo'ole.
What connects them is a love for their culture, their people, and water sports.
Fierce Heart combines stories of exciting surfing competitions, dramatic water rescues, and deep friendships with a look at the history and origins of one of the world's most thrilling extreme sports.
About the Author: Stuart Holmes Coleman moved to Hawai'i in 1993 to teach, write, and surf.
He is the author of the award-winning book Eddie Would Go and works as the regional coordinator for the Surfrider Foundation.
