Over dit product

Product Information

Fierce Heart is the biography of a community and a portrait of its people. Although Makaha is a small, isolated town on the Western coast of Oahu, 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 various kinds of water sports. Fierce Heart combines stories of exciting big wave surfing competitions, dramatic water rescues, deep friendships, and touching family portraits with a look at the history and origins of one of the world's most thrilling extreme sports.

Drew Kampion, author ofStoked!, Lost Coast,andGreg Noll, The Art of the Surf Board "The author ofEddie Would Gohas crafted another masterpiece of insight, detail and sensitivity to the Hawaiian culture. Having made dozens of surfing trips to Makaha over the years, I've experienced both the warmth and distrust of its proud residents, and I always felt they were gravely misunderstood. Coleman tells the exquisite truth with remarkable depth."--Bruce Jenkins,San Francisco ChronicleandSurfer Magazinesports columnist, author ofNorth Shore Chronicles "If your favorite armchair travel fantasy is like mine -- turn off the main road, switch into four-wheel drive and suddenly there's the Great Good Place -- here's the Hawaiian trip of your dreams. Stuart Coleman's sincere interest in the rugged Westside of O'ahu got him into the inner circle of the Hawaii that most tourists never see, and he delivers astonishingly intimate portraits of surfers, singers and sea goddesses. There are no luxury hotels, Don Ho music or dancing girls in the pages ofFierce Heart, just raw life and native pride -- and local heroes who really are heroic."-- Jesse Kornbluth, editor of HeadButler.com "Fierce Heartis a powerful tribute to the Queen of Makaha. The stories in the book capture my mom's spirit of aloha and her dedication to helping others.  At the Rell Sunn Educational Fund, we are committed to continuing her legacy, and this book will help keep her spirit alive for years to come."--Jan Sunn-Carreira, Rell Sunn Educational Fund, Fierce Heart is a memorable collection of stories about a unique place and a cast of characters that truly define modern Hawaiian culture and the spirit of aloha."--Shaun Tomson, World Champion Surfer and author of Surfer's Code and Bustin' Down the Door   "Be warned, this edgy, fast-paced book is like surfing a Makaha wave - once you take off, there's no turning back - once you start reading Fierce Heart , you will be unable to put it down.

It's as if you are sitting in the shade of Uncle Buff's lifeguard tower as the waves roll in and the bruddahs talk story. What Coleman did for Aikau, he has now done for the legends of the west side. He has bravely and honestly reported the stories of these people, who have likewise bravely and honestly offered the truth. The author's prose is clean, precise, and beautiful, like a single fin longboard smoothly slicing through waves of glass. The long wait for his second book is justified, and Coleman can now consider himself a mythmaker of sorts." -- Big Island Weekly   "...an impressive effort, full of information and anecdotes...an enjoyable read, packed with tales about wild times and practical jokes." --Maui Weekly  , Fierce Heart is a memorable collection of stories about a unique place and a cast of characters that truly define modern Hawaiian culture and the spirit of aloha."--Shaun Tomson, World Champion Surfer and author of Surfer's Code and Bustin' Down the Door "Be warned, this edgy, fast-paced book is like surfing a Makaha wave - once you take off, there's no turning back - once you start reading Fierce Heart , you will be unable to put it down.
