WAILEA is nestled on the leeward side of South Maui. Only 30 minutes from the Kahului Airport, just south of the town of Khei, Wailea is easily accessible by automobile. The main entrances to Waileas luxurious beachfront resorts are located along Wailea Alanui. All of Waileas resorts, along with golf, tennis, dining and shopping, are within a few minutes drive of your resort or condominium. The 1.5-mile Coastal Walk affords easy access to the beachfront resorts. During the winter months, the Wailea Coastal Walk provides the ideal location to watch the sun set into the Pacific Ocean. The sun melts into the tranquil waters ... and if you watch closely, you may just catch a glimpse of the humpback whales playing in our inviting waters.

For Sports FansOscar-winning actress Helen Hunt cut a sporty profile while stand-up paddling at Andaz Maui at Wailea. Of course, Waileas waters are as good as it gets Super Bowl MVP Malcolm Smith kept in top shape at Grand Waileas cascading pools Also spotted at Grand Waileas pools were actor Hank Azaria with a BabyBjorn attached; actor James Marsden (X Men); and Ashley Wagner, U.S. Olympic medalist ice skater Swimming at Polo Beach near The Fairmont Kea Lani, Maui were comedian Chris Rock; Andre Carter of the New England Patriots; Patrick Monahan (lead singer of Train) and Colin ODonoghue of ABCs Once Upon a Time Dressed like one of the guys, rocker Alice Cooper teed off in Wailea and golfed with Joe Gannon, Maui restaurateur and former rock concert lighting producer.

Art Lovers OnlyThe Shops at Waileas most famous, well, shopper, Paris Hilton, pur-chased an original oil painting of Marilyn Monroe at a Shops at Wailea art gallery. Sitting Pretty is now hanging pretty in her Beverly Hills mansion Rage Against the Machine frontman Tom Morello talked about politics and social issues recently at an art gallery in Wailea To add to the wattage, Bob Gruen, perhaps the worlds best-known rock n roll photographer and the former personal picture-taker of John Lennon, was also spotted at a gallery in Wailea. Hes displayed the Rolling Stones, the Sex Pistols and others at The Shops at Wailea, where Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler has put his vibrant skull art on display.

Dining OutActor-comedian Steve Carrell appeared at ease and debonair, anything but a 40-year-old virgin, as he double-dated at Spago. Cutting out of The Office for a Spago feast was actor Rainn Wilson, who played Dwight Schrute on the hilarious series Fairmont Kea Lani, Mauis Willow Stream Spa is soaring with its designation as Travel + Leisures #1 hotel spa in Hawaii in its Worlds Best awards. A few feet away is K, the signature plantation-style restaurant with a modern twist, where Crooner Natalie Cole had an unforgettable meal, and where Executive Chef Tylun Pang is a perennial favorite Actor Charlie Sheen dined at Mla Restaurant & Lounge with his new fiance, recently retired adult-film star Brett Rossi. They ordered like two-and-a-half men and

colorful emblems, but there are few that surpass the aloha shirt. Its both regional and international, silent and expressive, historical and contemporary. And while shirts dont usually speak, Hawaiis version is a erce storyteller, a visual chronicle and peerless part of Hawaiis cultural vocabulary.

Key to the genres popularity, say two premier Island shirt makers, is the art of the textile print. Rang-ing from the humorous to the divine and everything in between, Hawaiian shirt prints have inspired nostalgia, music, books and even a museum or two. Tailoring, t, details and styling play a part in the shirts prominence, but the driving force behind the Hawaiian shirt has always been the artistry of the textile.

THE POWER OF REPETITIONSig Zane, the mastermind behind the nearly 30-year Sig Zane Designs, has a unique approach to the screen-printing technique he has always used on his fabrics. e repetitiveness of the Hawaiian chant, he believes, can be applied with great bene t to the complex process of hand-screening. As the Hawaiian chant empowers, so, Zane believes, can the redun-dancy of the screen-printing process. As a hula dancer, sherman and the husband of Nalani Kanakaole, one of Hawaiis most esteemed kumu hula, Zane has strong moral authority on this.

e Hawaiians strongly believe in the repetitive nature of things, he says. What we bring to the shirt is similar to the chant. Flocks of birds in their repeti-tive behavior, waves washing ashore, seasonal cycles and planetary movements are among the myriad things historically celebrated in the Hawaiian chant. Zane and his ohana also believe that the redundancy, the repeti-tion, in a chant will cause it to eventually manifest. e chants of his family and of the seven-generation

Hlau O Kekuhi, which his wife leads as kumu hula, are chants of supplication, he says. We are asking something. And we believe that when something is recited it will eventually manifest, because with each recitation, it goes out into the universe. Consequences, he says, come with the sincerity of the chanting.

As a family business, the Zanes apply to their textiles the same principles and a rmations they use in their life of hula. Every screen is only 24 inches, but we repeat it over and over and over, says Zane. And that intention, in that art, is put out there every time. Every conscious swipe of the screen printers blade imbues the fabric with intention and mana (spiritual power), he says.

Every one of the boys doing the screening puts his own personal mana into it. Some people say, Look at this, it doesnt look like that piece ve yards down the table But those are the inconsistencies, the imperfections of the human hand. We want to retain that in our fabric.

Each motif, usually botanical or geometric, is culturally meaningful to the Hawaiians. With steady hand and focused intention, Zane uses a razor-sharp X-Acto knife to cut the design into Amberlith, a thin sheet of transparent plastic. e 8.5- by 11-inch design is digitized, some computer magic follows, and various elements are combined to ultimately tell the story.

Liko Ka Liko I Ka Ua is the name of a popu-lar Sig Zane design depicting young leaf buds (liko). It means, literally, the liko sprouts in the rain. But metaphorically, notes Zane, it means Nourish your children, and they will grow strong. Weve done it kind of bold, because we wanted to make a statement.

Kuhao Zane, Sigs son and the 32-year-old head of design and marketing, adds his own special touches to the process with the assistance of graphics designer

Aloha, one of Tori Richards

popular prints, depicts the

romanticized notion of the

Islands prevalent in the

heyday of the luxury liners

that plied Island waters in

the 30s and 40s.

Brandy Serikaku, a vital link in the process. Like an architect in two dimensions, Kuhao is the technical wizard who assembles and composes the visual ele-ments into a nal printable design. Ka Uluwehi o Ke Kai, a Sig Zane design commemorating the 50th anniversary of Merrie Monarch in 2013, was a mas-terful composition.

eres the limu (seaweed), theres the geo-metric image, and theres the over-all image, which, when you see from afar, reveals the swirls, Kuhao explained. Every element was hand-cut in Amber-lith: the ne tangles of seaweed, the swirls of ocean current, and the geometric, the maka upena, or the eyes of the shnet. e limu is not just seaweed, but a speci c type of seaweed called lipoa, celebrated in a much-loved song and hula by Edith Kanakaole.

All these elements look totally di erent from each other, but we wanted to gure out a way to make them all work in one print, continued Kuhao. To unite those elements, he used the swirls as a grouping mechanism. e result is a rich, multilay-ered story expressing personal family history (Edith Kanakaoles groundbreaking song), ocean-related cultural practices (limu, lipoa and the shermans net) and the unifying power of the ocean.

THE ART OF THE PRINTEqually committed to textile art, the Honolulu-based Tori Richard guards an archive of 25,000 prints span-ning its 58 years of making mens and womens resort wear. e archive is a treasure trove of visual story-telling, a vibrant chronicle of the cycles of popular culture in Hawaii and beyond. Two thousand outlets across the country and countless more around the world are sharing those wearable stories, those lifestyle maps, in their global retail communities.

Josh Feldman, CEO, is an art enthusiast and keen observer of cultural trends. He points not just to a prints content, but its scale, too, as a reliable barometer of change.

When I look at our print themes over the last 50 years, I dont see huge shifts, he commented. e real giveaway of the age of the print is the coloration and the scale. For example, owers tend to get larger or smaller with larger trends. In general, now, it seems that the trend is smaller.

Tori Richard prints clearly represent certain eras in the companys history, which in turn correspond to the cultural trends of the time. A romp through the archives is a visual feast, yielding rich insights into cyclical themes: the tribal kapa (tapa) and pareu prints of the tiki-obsessed 1950s; prisms and the dizzying optic graphics of the 1960s; wild and zany color com-binations, along with Asian motifs, in the 1970s; 3-D shapes, parabolas and lattice graphics in the 1980s, often in clean, preppy colors; and throughout, images and colors in a scale that evolves with each era. In the 1970s and 80s, the large-scale, dramatic prints in vogue were often in Asian-inspired cloud and bird mo-tifs. From the 1990s on, high-quality embroidered silks and jacquards bore lavish engineered prints of such things as dragons, sh and martinis. In the luxury liner era of the 1930s, when Art Deco was the rage in art, Hawaii, with its doors creaking open to tourism, was a stylish hot spot for the zeitgeist. Boat Day Aloha, with its 1930s print, comes from the cover of the din-ing menu of the S.S. Lurline and is a top seller today.

But Feldman cautions that judging the prov-enance of a print can be deceiving. Because textile prints are so cyclical, he says, a print might have the look of the 1930s but have come from a di erent era, as in Boat Day Aloha. It could have actually been

made later, such as in the 50s or 60s or even yesterday, he says, because the art and in uence of the time is so profound that it keeps returning. is is why the scale of the artwork is one of the bigger indicators of the period which the print represents, adds Feldman.

Shibori, a timeless Japanese-inspired print, goes back to the 1970s and is one of the companys iconic images, returning cyclically through the generations. Its possible for a father to have worn that print in the 1970s and his son to wear it, in a di erent fabric, in the years past 2000. Prints called Marquesas have returned, and Jungelaya, Leaf Study and Balboa remain timeless and relevantand availabletoday.

Interestingly, I think the only real trend that we see over time is printswhether they go large or small, he added. e main indicators seem to be color and size. If I look at our print themes over the last 50 years, I dont see huge shifts. e real giveaway for the age of the print is the coloration and the scale.

A NOD TO NOSTALGIAEven tiki prints can be deceptively reproduced today, even trendy, but not for Tony Apilado. As art director for e Haumana, Keo Woolfords award-winning lm, Apilado provided the costumes from his extensive personal collection of vintage Hawaiian shirts. Out of more than 70 shirts and jackets, three dozen of his cot-ton vintage tiki shirts were selected for use in the lm.

e criteria werent limited to style and print. We asked ourselves, Will it go with the sky? e house? e location? mused Apilado. e shirts had to t the sce-nario, set the mood, provide information and a historical reference. From cheesy to progressively more elegant, they also re ected the arc of the characters transforma-tion while paying homage to the tiki pop culture of decades past.

Please keep your shoes on, Karuna Santoro says as she holds open the door. It feels unnatural and wrong to be treading across her immaculate living room carpet in flats, but we remain shod. Her breezy lnai studio is cleanly swept, but stillthis is a glasswork studio, and there might be tiny slivers that could find their way into our feet.

The morning sun slants through her studio, illuminating tubs of glass pellets neatly sorted by color and patterndeep, puckery reds; cool blues; crystalline greens; an occasional opaque yellow, like jars of shimmering penny candies.

Working in a technique called kiln-forming, Santoro, a murrini artist, lays the chips of glass in a flat, round form, piece by piece. Earlier she had pulled and melted layers of colored glass into long strands, then chopped the cooled rods into short, cylindrical pellets, revealing interesting designs within the cross-section. If shes feeling orderly, she might lay them out in a neat pattern; on days that are more free-form, her design might swirl forth like a nebula or a luminescent drop of pond water. Trained as a medical technologist in Germany, Santoro finds an organic quality to these pieces. Sometimes it reminds me of looking at tissue samples through a microscope, she says.

Santoros process is half art, half science. Its a technical medium to work with, she says. Each bowl requires as much planning and preparation as intuition. Pinned neatly to her studio wall, a color wheel of swatches helps her strategize designs. Many kinds of glass will change color

after theyve been melted and cooled, so shes had to learn to imagine what the final product will look like.

After her pattern is final, Santoro fires the form in her kiln, heating it to a temperature of 1,500 degrees to fuse the glass pellets into a thick, smooth plate. After polishing the edges with a belt sander, shell fire it again at 1,200 degrees to achieve the fin-ished shape of the bowl. The glass is just soft enough at that temperature that gravity can pull it into the mold, she says.

A former mosaic and stained-glass artist, Santoro began studying murrini 12 years ago. It takes experi-ence, she says. Im finally at a point where I can anticipate what will happen with the glass.

I still sometimes open my kiln and say, Oh my god. Theres a learning curve, she continues. But thats part of the fun, too. Every time, Im surprised when I open the kiln.

Santoro leans against her workbench and carefully runs her thumb over the sharp, unfin-ished edge of her latest piece. I love glass because its so full of contradictionsits fragile, but its strong, she says. Later, shell grind this piece against her belt sander to polish it smooth; but when she fires it, shell need to give it a full 24 hours to heat and coolany faster and it could shatter.

For Karuna Santoro, glass is the medium; for the painter Robena, its the message. Yet both Maui artists are inspired by its contradictions: strength and fragility, transparency and reflection, sharp edges and smooth curves.

Theres a meditative aspect to laying out the design, she says. The other thing is, you really have to be there. If you space out, you can cut yourself.

FOR THE ARTIST ROBENA, space and scale are as significant as form and color are to Santoro. I always wanted to do giant work, she says as we view one of her paintings, a rose nearly as tall as she is. It makes such an impact on the spaceyou really have to deal with it.

An early ambition to paint larger than life helped her stumble upon the technique that has become her signature. To stretch her materials on a young artists budget, Robenawho mixes all her own colors from a palette of magenta, cyan and yellowtook to watering down her paints and working with a raw canvas. The result was a wash, with the canvas soaking up the colors like a stain to create a smooth, photographic texture with no visible brush strokes.

Because of this technique, I can get big areas to look really soft, she says.We pad across the cool concrete floor of her Pukalani studio to stand before her work-in-

progress, a still life of antique Japanese bottles. To blend her watered-down acrylics, Robena paints from the shadows out: she begins with the darker shades and layers wash over wash until the image emerges into the light.

Shes been known for her meditative waterscapes and oversized flowers, but lately its glass that has captured her imagination. The way the curve of a bottles neck warps and distorts the light, or the way color slides over its raised lettering, pleases her eye. Its almost like it has its own light source, she says.

Robena began painting glass after finding herself stuck with painters block. Having completed a series of flowers, unsure of what shed focus on next, she turned to her collection of antique bottles and began photographing them. They were in the win-dow, she recalls, and I was just noticing how beautiful and abstract the shapes were, and all the colors.

In extreme close-up on her giant canvas, the smooth contours and sloping edges, and the interplay between transparency and reflection, take on a myste-rious, dreamlike quality. I love abstract art, but Im a representational painter, she says. I like the way the light travels through the distortion.

In one of her favorite recent pieces, a single curv-ing line provides the only clue that the viewer is look-ing at a near photographic still life of Japanese glass fishing floats. The rest, she says, is all chaos.

We go upstairs to look at her collection of glass artifacts. Sitting cross-legged in front of her coffee table, we handle them one by oneroly-poly fishing floats; wide-lipped carafes from Haleakal Dairy and Parker Ranch; a svelte bottle from Takitanis Star Soda in Wailuku.

Suddenly I laugh, pick up a tiny vial and run a fingertip over the raised kanji, as calligraphic Japanese characters are called. Here is the colossal, abstracted column of embossed glass from her work-in-progress downstairs: a diminutive Japanese medicine bottle no bigger than my thumb.

For Robena, those tricks of proportion and scale are just another beautiful distortion. It makes me so happy just to be lost inside that wobbly thing, she says. You would never look at it that way if it were just a glass on a shelf.

Excerpt from The Hawaiian Canoe

A wAtermAn honors the cAnoe

50 wailea

Tommy Holmes launched his book, The Hawaiian Canoe, like the true waterman that he waswith one eye to the past and the other toward distant horizons. When Holmes released his book in 1981, the Polynesian Voyaging Society (PVS) he helped establish was eight years old and in the infancy of its global mission. It was a mission he shared with PVS co-founders Ben Finney and Herb Kawainui Kane: of uniting the world through non-instrument navigation and reviving a legacy of exploration. The PVS has flourished in the decades since, reaching a crescendo last May with the celebrated departure of Hklea, the 62-foot, double-hulled Polynesian voyaging canoe it sponsors.

Hkleas 47,000-mile, four-year circumnavigation of the world is expected to touch 26 countries and more than 80 ports, uniting Oceania in unprecedented ways. Some features of the canoe have changed in the decades since her first voy-age to Tahiti in 1976, and she now has a sister vessel, the 72-foot Hikianalia.

Tommy Holmes may not be here to witness this event, but he displayed remarkable prescience of Hkleas possibilities in the pages of The Hawaiian Canoe. Many of the achievements Holmes discusses as voyaging possibilities are now, decades later, a fait accompli.

Holmes died on August 23, 1993, shortly after suffering a heart attack while paddling a waa, an outrigger canoe, in the upper Ala Wai Canal not far from Waikk Beach. Five days later, with hundreds paying tribute from shore, Hklea scattered his ashes off Waikk.

E xACTly WHAT an ancient voyaging canoe to Hawaii looked like will never be known. However, borrowing certain design features com-mon to different voyaging canoes of Polynesia, and avoiding localized adaptations and known foreign influences, it could be that such a vessel looked something like Hklea, the sixty-foot, double-hulled canoe built for voyag-ing in 1975 by the Polynesian Voyaging Society. Some scholars, however, maintain that the hulls of an ancient voyaging canoe would have had a more pronounced v shape in cross section than those of the Hklea, citing the canoe types in use at the probable Marquesan and Tahitian debarkation points.

Double-hulled voyaging canoes were surely more narrowly spaced than modern catamarans. This was due primarily to the limited ability of the wooden

cross-pieces and coconut fiber lashing to withstand the phenomenal stress the ocean imposes on a widetrack double-hull craft. Probably as a result of this narrow hull spacing, the sail area was kept relatively small (three hundred square feet on the Hklea) as a safety factor prior to overturning. Furthermore, the strength limita-tions of the hala leaf material made large sails more likely to rip. The sail design of the Hklea, a Polynesian sprit, seems to have been fairly widespread throughout prehistoric Polynesia and is probably representative of the type of sail that an early voyaging canoe might have used in coming to Hawaii.

Considered performance accurate, though constructed with modern materi-als, the Hklea is able to make a 70- to 75-degree course to windward. While not an outstanding performance by todays standards, it is very likely comparable to an ancient voyaging canoe, or for that matter to an early European ship. The canoe in moderate to strong tradewinds is able to average 3 to 5 knots on a course into the wind and 6 to 10 knots on a beam or down-wind leg. An average days run for the Hklea is about one hundred miles. A run of 130 miles, though, for a twenty-four-hour period is not unusual. Some days have been as high as 150 miles or more.

Conversely, western-designed vessels, such as those the Europeans used to rediscover the Pacific, were generally a good deal slower than a typical Polynesian voyaging canoe was under comparable conditions. Early European explorers in the Pacific commented on the remarkable speed and maneuverability of various Pacific islanders canoes compared to their own relatively cumbersome craft.

The European tended to view the ocean as an adversary. As though to overpower the ocean while maintaining a bond to terra firma, Europeans almost blindly transposed concepts of land-based architecture to a very dissimilar marine environment. Their awk-ward craft reflected the Europeans lack of communion with the world Polynesians called homethe ocean.

Naval architecture was a highly developed science to the peoples of Oceania. Well integrated into their marine environment, early Pacific peoples designed craft that were sea kindly, calculated for speed and in some cases so hydrodynami-cally advanced that it would not be until the 1800s that man would build faster sailboats. The flexible joining mode of joining two hulls that so characterized Poly-nesian voyaging canoes and so shocked European observers for their supposed fra-gility is just now being recognized as often superior to a rigid form of attachment. Pacific historian G. S. Parsonson writes: There is abundant evidence to show that the ships [canoes] of Polynesia and Micronesia were much more weatherly than contemporary European vessels.

The recent voyages of the Hklea demonstrate that such canoes were quite capable of negotiating journeys of great distance

THE COMPASS IN THE MIND His head all same as compass. Such were the immortal words, in 1860, of a captain of a canoe that had just arrived after a voyage of several hundred miles across open ocean without the aid of navigation instruments. He was casually comparing the skills and abilities of his navigator to the compass of the astonished master of the ship Morning Star. Having no

instruments, charts or written language, the ancient Polynesian navigator charted his pathways in his mind: he read the stars; he listened to the winds; he observed telltale flotsam and jetsam; he understood the language of the sea. Of an elite brotherhood, the highly trained master Polynesian navigator possessed a vast body of knowledge relating to the observation and interpretation of natural phenomena and an astounding memory. A typical Polynesian navigator had a demand recall of up to two hundred different star positions as they would rise or set at any given time of the year, effectively giving him a star compass ...

LASHING Slammed by forces reaching thousands of pounds per square inch, simple vegetable fiber lashings routinely absorbed and dissipated bursts of torque that could rip steel. The Polynesian understood only too well the importance of lashing to a canoes survival. In Hawaiian waters, any form of rigid, non-flexible attachment would see a single or a double canoe slowly but methodically dis-membered. Soft, pliable and rugged vegetable fiber lashing, especially when wet, very firmly binds a canoe and its outrigger assembly or two hulls, while simulta-neously allowing for reasonable lateral and see-saw movement.

The coconut tree, often called the tree of life and widely regarded as the single most utilitarian plant known to man, usually furnished the lashings on which the life of the canoe depended One of coconut sennits many admirable qualities is that it is little affected by the ravages of sun and sea, unlike cotton, manila (a durable fiber from the Philippines) or other natural cordages ... Cordage for use in rigging a canoe was customarily a two- to five-strand flat weave of the highest grade Sennit was a primary unit of barter in pre-contact Hawaii. Without it there would have been no canoe.

KAONA The canoe born of the land but living in the sea embodied much of the Hawaiian ethos. The single most important artifact in Hawaiian culture, the Hawaiian canoe was a nucleus, a continuum, a key to the culture. With no writ-ten language, the traditions and skills surrounding canoes and canoe building and handling were passed down by the spoken words, considered the highest form of cultural expression in Hawaii. A preeminent art form in its own right, the canoe gave rise to, was the subject of, or was prominently referred to in a number of oral traditions.

Inherent in all Hawaiian oral traditions is the use of kaona, the deeper, hid-den meanings of words and phrases that exemplify the complexity of the Hawaiian language. Nona Beamer writes that Only the composer knows the true intent of the words. Sometimes true meanings were deliberately obscured to protect those named in the chants. Meanings might be disguised symbolically, hidden by nature connotations or veiled references. The canoe was at once a functional, spiritual, economic, social, political, mythical and historical interface between man, the environment, the gods, and the cosmos One can see representative examples of its cultural symbolism in chants and prayers, proverbs and poetical sayings, metaphors, genealogies, mele and songs, riddles and the hula.

Cracking the Code (One Mac Nut at a Time)

MacadaMia nuts are a wonder food.

if only there were enough to go around.

By Paul WoodPhotography by Rachel olsson

58 wailea

Some say the oil in

macadamia is even

healthier than

the finest olive oil.

Our macadamia nuts are the biggest and best in the world, said Brett Scott Pafford, chef at Gannons in Wailea Resort. They are such beautiful, buttery nuts with the absence of any bitterness. By our he meant Hawaiis mac nuts, contrasting them with the smaller, tougher ones grown in remote terrains and climates. In his mind, though, he was thinking of Hawaii Island, hands-down the commercial heartland of the Island crop. Pafford didnt realize he could get them now grown on Maui.

Ironically, this island still grows sugar and still provides world-class pineapple out of Hliimaile. But even with patch-es here and there, weve never quite succeeded with macs. For example, it is widely known that Jim Nabors, entertainer and former television star, has a macadamia grove out in Hna. The Cessna pilots all know it. As they come in from Kahului Airport and drop to the Hna airstrip, they can see the dark shaggy canopies of the Naborly orchard. They report to the tower: Were at 300 feet right above Gomers Pile.

But a patch is not agribusiness. So far, Maui has expe-rienced only one commercial-scale venture in macadamias. You can see the trees, 1,500 acres of them, when you drive the beach road from Central Maui toward windward West Maui. Thick and unkempt, the orchard fills mauka (toward the mountain) land where Waiehu meets Waihee, an area prized by pre-contact planters for its rich soil and access to stream water. This is where Wailuku Agribusiness, a sugar company wishing to diversify, made a serious commitment to Maui macadamia farming circa 1980.

The venture failed magnificently, says Avery Chum-bley, who was then president of Wailuku Ag. Part of the trouble was this areas sloping dirt ground, ground that is not flat and cinder-like as on Hawaii Island. That made it dif-ficult to maintain a workable orchard floor, says Chumbley. Then there was the exposure to salt air. Those trees took a beating year after year. Shipping costs were debilitating.

According to Hawaii Business magazine, the orchard made its first profit in 1994, over a decade after its planting. Then historic El Nio droughts hit the Islands in 97 and 98. We mothballed the operation on December 30, 1999. The company later liquidated.

But the trees still live. They may not be as productive as one might have hoped. But what they continue to produce is one of the best food items you can find. Perhaps a changed business model, something on a less ambitious, more locally sustainable scale, could provide access to a little-known island resourceMaui macadamia nuts.

Something on that scale seems to be happening right now, giving hope to those who know and love this nut. This is not front-page news, but is rather a kind of whispered, over-the-backyard-fence talk. A growing number of Maui chefs are discovering that they can get their hands on actual Maui-grown mac nuts from these Waihee orchards.

Those interested in this resource need to know two things about macadamia nuts. One: They are amazingly good for you and should be a daily staple of every home pantry. Two: They are so difficult to harvest that theyll likely always be hard to find.

First, nutrition: Dont be deceived by the mac nuts taste, which is pure cream diluted with tree-bud essence. And when the nut is roasted, the taste becomes less shy and starts to hang around in the edges of your mouth, sweetening. Then you want to eat a lot of them. Then maybe you catch yourself, thinking you shouldnt.

But you should. You cant possibly have too many of them in your diet. Although they are 80 percent fat, they will never make you fat. They are loaded with fatty acids that are monounsaturated. Instead of clogging arteries and raising cholesterol levels, macadamia fats pass without harm into the digestive system and release concentrated energy. Some say the oil in macadamia is even healthier than the fin-est olive oil. Macs fit seamlessly into the Mediterranean diet. They nutritionally replace artery-clogging lipids such as those derived from chicken, lard or drive-through sandwiches. Of course, marketed macs might be coated with salt, chocolate or Spam seasoning (whatever that is), but the nut in its natu-ral form is as healthful as a farm-fresh salad in Tuscany.

The authority for making this claim is University of Hawaii at Mnoa Professor Harry Ako, chair of the Depart-ment of Molecular Biosciences and Bioengineering. Mac nuts are very healthful items to eat, he said, mostly because of what they dont do. They dont cause cancer. They dont cause arteriosclerosis. They lower your cholesterol.

One study from University of Hawaii in 2007 states that short-term macadamia nut consumption modifies favorably the biomarkers of oxidative stress, thrombosis and inflammation, the risk factors for coronary artery disease, despite an increase in dietary fat intake. It concludes that regular consumption of macadamia nuts may play a role in the prevention of coronary artery disease.

Dr. Ako has put a lot of study into macadamia oil, which is super clean with a very high smoke point, and which stays fresh without refrigeration for almost two years.

He also advised a now-successful start-up called Oils of Aloha, which produces mac oil as a safe, stable component of cosmetics.

A good nut, however, is hard to find. Mac nuts form on hanging floral tassels, each flower capable of producing a single Ping-Pong-ball-sized fruit. This fruit consists of a leathery green outer husk that splits open like a clam to reveal a shiny caramel-brown shell within. Its easy to shuck the husk, but that is where the easiness stops.

To get to the kernel, you have to crack that perfectly spherical shell. But the shell is like solid Kevlar. Using a stan-dard kitchen nutcracker, you feel as if youre trying to crack a pool ball. You can run over a mac nut with a semi-hauler, and it wont break.

People who crack macs at home tend to use the karate hammer blow technique, an arcane term applying to the dynamics of force. You let the nut dry for a couple of weeks until the kernel can be heard knocking around inside. Then you put the nut on a block and, with a metal mallet, swing as

though you intend to drive a 16-penny nail with a single blow. Your target is a slick, hard sphere, so if your aim is

slightly off, zing! Expect a miniature cannonball. But hit it square, and the shell cracks into curved pieces of chocolate-colored shrapnel thicker and harder than anything youve ever thought a plant could produce.

A new company called Waihee Valley Plantations is now harvesting a large area of the Maui orchard, drying and crack-ing the crop via off-the-grid technology. (The company is ready to expand into fruit trees and aquaponics.) Spokesperson Shan-non Christensen says that WVPs farm methods reduce the labor force, and its on-site processing eliminates shipping costs.

New Maui entrepreneur Cynthia Dystra is using WVPs product and a community-funded commercial kitchen in Wailuku to create her productroasted Maui macadamia nuts under the label Hawaiian Heritage Farms. We found them at the Native Intelligence store in Wailuku and imme-diately realized that they were crunchier, tastier and fresher than any others we had ever tasted.

Roasted Maui macadamia nuts are

limited in supply but loaded

with flavor and health benefits.

Having discovered the health benefits of eating mac nuts, youll likely want to eliminate all other foods (who needs them?) from your diet. However, if youre still hung up on dietary diversity, here is a sampling of macadamia nut options in Wailea.

For a gluten-free side dish thats light on the carbohydrates, simply mix quinoa with toasted pieces of macadamia nuts. Thats what DUO (Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea) does, using black and white quinoas enlivened with pre-served lemon, fresh herbs and a little olive oil. Tommy Bahamas kitchen uses mac nuts to encrust cheese from Mauis Surfing Goat Dairy and serves that with mango salsa and a sweet soy glaze. Gannons does something

similar (with the addition of pistachios) and serves that with a frise-watercress-baby beet salad built on top of a mac nut pesto.

In fact, any salad gets a creamy effect from macs, softening the bite of lemon or vinegar. Consider chef Ben Henions invention at Joesa Hawaiian salad with a Southwestern flavor. He pairs watermelon and spicy wild arugula; then moderates the flavor with mac nuts (mallet-crushed), Kula strawberries and man-chego cheese, dressed with honey-guajillo (a type of chili) vinaigrette. Ben likes to pure roasted mac nuts, mix with Molokai sea salt, stash for a few days, then serve as-is for a universally appealing garnish.

Maui entres, especially fish, are famously dressed

with macadamia. Tylun Pang, executive chef at The Fairmont Kea Lani, Maui and K Restaurant and perennial winner of culinary honors, has diners using pure macadamia oil to sear their seasoned fish on a volcano-hot stone. Gannons serves a mac-crusted pork fritter with grilled pineapple. Gannons executive chef Brett Scott Pafford says the macadamia adds complex-ity on the textural level. He uses them to cut other nuts in order to set the bal-ance of flavors.

Desserts? Consider Ks heavily cacao-bean-based chocolate baked custard, built on a praline crust of Maui mac nuts. Just one bite and youll know: This nut deserves top billing in the kitchen, especially when its grown on Maui.

ITS NOT JUST THE GAME. ITS MAUI Text by ROBERT COLLIAS

64 wailea

T he first thing Tennis Hall of Famer Tracy Austin mentions about the Wailea Fantasy Tennis Camp is the beauty of Maui. The Wailea air seems to engulf her.

First, you have Mauithats absolutely gorgeous, Austin told me before a recent trip to the Valley Isle. You know you are in Hawaii with the tropical air, the different smells in Hawaii. You just feel relaxed right away.

When the unmatched camp takes place in November of 2014, Austin will have Hall of Fame company. Lindsay Davenport was inducted into the Tennis Hall of Fame in July.

Year eight of the event, and its evolved into an amazing group of pros, says camp co-founder and director Cathy Nicoloff. Now that people know about itit has been out in the media, it has been in Tennis Magazine, its been in Inside Tenniswe have editors of magazines approaching us, and that has never happened before.

Davenport and Austin, each former world No. 1-ranked players, both work for The Tennis Channel as analysts, giving the camp even more credibility and exposure.

The Hall of Famers, who won a combined five Grand Slam singles titles, will be joined by former French Open champion Michael Chang, four-time Associa-tion of Tennis Professionals tournament winner Taylor Dent and renowned coaches Tom Gullikson and Mike Sell, both former world-ranked players.

All this, said Nicoloff, is helping to dramatically increase worldwide interest in the sport. It is really an amazing thing, she said.

Patrick Ekstrand, Waileas director of tennis, said the facility has undergone a recent face-lift that fits right in with the camp.

We have retooled the pro shop, we have upgraded, we have done some major landscaping projects to make sure it looks nice, Ekstrand said. We have

quadrupled our membership. Things are moving again at the club We want this to be the place that people want to join, and where people want to play.

Ekstrand has played and worked in tennis around the world, but nowhere quite like Wailea.

I am originally from Sweden, Ekstrand said. I played college tennis in El Paso, Texas. I lived and taught in Texas for 20 years, up until 2008, and now Im here. This is one of the premier places for a tennis club that I have been to.

If camps were ranked, the Wailea Fantasy Tennis Camp would be No. 1. Nicoloff says there is no other camp in the world that can equal the caliber of

the Tennis Camps offerings. We checked it out, we did the research, and no one else has this kind of talent pool, she noted.

Wailea deserves that. It is an incredible destination. It needs to be on the map as far as tennis and golf go, and this does it. I think Wailea is just an extraordinary place to be. These pros love coming here.

Chang, who won the French Open in 1989 at the age of 17, was added to the group in 2013. Back for his second appearance, he replaced Davenport last year when she became pregnant. The thought of recruiting Chang came to Nicoloff when she was watching the U.S. Open last year.

Lindsay called and told me, Im pregnant with (child) number 4, Nicoloff continued. I was literally watching television, and Tracy Austin was interviewing Michael Chang. Im watching and I go, Ah, Michael Chang.

If camps were ranked, the Wailea Fantasy Tennis Camp would be No. 1.

The camp has grown into a must-attend event on the Wailea calendar each year. It is a signature event, Nicoloff said. Its kind of like the [Maui] film festi-

valpeople associate it with Wailea. Theres a buzz out there now, and the pros are supporting the buzz. Lindsay Davenport was here in February for a convention and she asked me, What can I do for you, what do you need me to do?

The Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea is the hotel partner for the camp and has followed Nicoloff s plan to add a yoga camp and a biking camp. A golf camp could follow.

Davenports July induction into the Hall of Fame in Newport, R.I., fit perfectly into the vision for the camp.

Shes going to be on the cover of everything, Nicoloff said. Its well deserved, and we are very, very excited to be there with her.

The camp has daily rates for campers who dont want to attend the entire five-day run.

Youre going to see all the pros, and its crazy that you get that opportunity, Nicoloff said. If its on your bucket list, its a must do. We had an older lady last year. She saved her money, this was on her bucket list, and she wanted to do it. She just lit this place up, she was so happy to be here.

The Wailea Blue Golf Course has

gone back to its roots.

The course recently moved

its clubhouse location to its

original spot on Wailea Ike

Drive, next to Manolis Pizza.

The move itself is something

we have wanted to do for many

years, said Barry Helle, general

manager of the Wailea Blue.

We have always wanted to

move the Blue back to its origi-

nal location, right in the heart of

the resort. Its just a much better

location for the exposure of

this great facility. This is where

everything started.

The Blue Courseorigi-

nally known as the Wailea Golf

Coursepredates all other

buildings in the resort, having

opened as a nine-hole course

in October of 1971 and as an 18-

hole course in February of 1972.

The Blue was the first thing

ever built in Wailea, before any

homes, any condos, any hotels,

Helle said. The creators of

Wailea knew they had to have

something pretty special to put

what was then a very remote

destination on the map.

What was hole No. 6 is now

No. 1; and No. 5 is now the

finishing hole.

As far as the real estate and

location, this is unbeatable,

Helle said.

Wailea Golf Clubs fleet of

170 electric carts on the Gold

and Emerald courses has been

recently equipped with upgrad-

ed GPS yardage units designed

to enhance playing experience

and safety.

Featuring graphically ad-

vanced touch screens, the new

Visage system enables players

to get yardages for fairways,

bunkers, hole locations and the

front or back of greens; send

instant messages to the pro

shop; and see the cart ahead

when playing a blind hole.

On select holes, players

can view a digitally produced

flyover by pressing a button.

For groups, the Visage system

offers enhanced tournament

capabilities.

Additionally, the locker

rooms at the Gold & Emerald

gone a minor renovation.

f were hearing more and more about hawaiian sea salt these days, its for good reason. its a big deal in the culinary world. its indigenous. its a hot item on spa menus, in scrubs, facials and wraps that detoxify and exfoliate. and, it turns out, its the only rock we eat.

So says mark Kurlansky in his definitive book, Salt: a world history. So important

is this cherished substance that he relates it to the origins of agriculture, sexual desire, the american revolution, the domestication of animals, the independence move-ment of india, egyptian mummification, the invention of gunpowder, the establishment of cities and trade routes, and countless events large and small.

fortunately for us, hawaii has a prominent place in the global salt hierarchy. how could we not? we are surrounded by ocean, our islands bathed in salt air. The tradewinds that sweep in from the northeast have come a long way to reach us, over briny water all the way. and, for culinary and ceremonial purposes, the ingenious hawaiians have a rich history of making and harvesting salt from evaporated sea water

in depressions they carved in lava or rock, or in shallow ponds by the ocean. Their sea salt, paakai, was an article of similar value to the fish hooks and artifacts they so arduously crafted.

maui county, which includes molokai and Lnai, has its own array of multi-hued hawaiian salts, available in different varieties and in limited supply. Black salts may be treated with charcoal, a pink salt with the mineral-rich clay calledalaea and even a green salt treated with bamboo leaf and other extracts. in wailea restaurants and spas, maui and other hawaiian salts are touted on menus as noteworthy and a source of pride.

But for many chefs, the ne plus ultra of hawaiian salt comes from west Kauais hanapp, where hawaiian families have tended salt ponds for generations, gathering some of the finest sea salt known. its flaky rather than

powdery and ranges in color from the palest of pink to darker shades of salmon. The salt cannot be sold, only given, which adds to its cachet. even Captain James Cook, reports Kurlansky, commented on the excellence of Kauai salt in the late 18th century. s

Wherever you are staying, shops, spas and restaurants are within minutes of your front door.

Sports enthusiasts select from three 18-hole championship golf courses, the Emerald, Gold and Wailea Blue. Tennis players find the Wailea Tennis Club to be the perfect complement to a vacation at Wailea Resort. Watersportsswimming, snorkeling, shore-diving, kayaking, stand-up paddling and othersare plentiful year-round at the edge of the bathtub-warm Pacific Ocean.

Wedding groups, honeymooners, multigenerational families and single travelers find theyre equally at home on their Wailea getaway. And its not just the luxury and amenities.

EALTH CAN BE GLAMOROUS it definitely is attrac-tive but is glamour healthy? Not necessarily. But at Wailea Resort, a heady mix of events, amenities, natural beauty and sun-kissed ambience creates an environment where health and glamour go hand in hand. A landmark annual film festival is a magnet for the glitterati, while year-round, water-

sports, shops, spas and world-renowned restaurants generate a fair share of wattage.In the 1,500-acre Wailea Resort, residents are surrounded by opportunities for

health and wellness, both seen and unseen. Waileas amenitiesrestaurants and shopsare only part of the lifestyle equation. Other factors contribute: tranquil surroundings, clean air, world-class golf and tennis, all cradled by an ocean breeze where Haleakal meets the ocean.

Indoors and outdoors, the Wailea residential community lives in a health club without walls. On this leg of the South Shore, the north-south Coastal Walk, following five magnificent white-sand beaches, is a mile-and-a-half (three miles round trip) of aerobic, life-enhancing pleasure. Kayakers, paddlers, swimmers and

snorkelers take to the ocean in their backyard, while familiar faces greet each other from sunrise to sunset on the path, the ocean at their fingertips.

Healthy dining is just around the corner in Waileas many superb restaurants, with the ocean always in view. With private pools and workout rooms in their homes, some residents design their own paths to wellness, privately or outdoors.

Racquet lovers find aerobic workouts at Mauis largest resort tennis facility, while golfers challenge the fairways on three legendary courses.

After a day outdoors, nothing beats a spa. And Waileas spas are acclaimed the world over. Ranging from grand to intimate, the spas offer programs and facilities for yoga, tai chi, aerobics, nutrition and the full range of options. Beauty treat-ments and massage therapies constantly win awards as they celebrate traditions from around the world.

Whether its a 5,000-square-foot residence with a million-dollar view or a 900- square-foot condo with the same extraordinary vista, there are 360-degree views of ocean, mountains and gardens. They whisper a gentle message: There is no better place on Earth to live well and be well.
