North Shore Oʻahu prints
Prints from Oʻahu's North Shore on the quiet days, with reef uncovered at low tide, water sliding over lava rock at Papailoa, and a rainbow after a shower.

The North Shore is famous for its winter surf, but these prints come from the quieter days, when the reef shows at low tide and the water slides over the rock instead of pounding it.
Mālie was made at Papailoa Beach in a season when big waves had washed the sand away and uncovered a buried reef. It's one of Kawika's favorites, about how something as soft as water can wear down the hardest rock. Shoreline Cascade comes from a sunset low tide, with seawater spilling over the reef and the seaweed. Ānuenue was a stroke of luck: a light drizzle on a late morning and a full rainbow over the surf.
