Diving, surfing and exploring. When his daughter came along, he shared his love of the ocean with her and over the years, his ohana developed their own form of treasuring hunting. They scour the reefs and beaches, gathering the bits and pieces left behind by other ocean explorers. And surfboard fins, stuck in the reefs, became a favorite find. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eBut collecting them wasn’t enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThese reclaimed surfboards are then used to create one-of-a-kind works of art.
