Synopsis

Get to know the warmth, spirit and adventure of Kauai's people through their personal inspiring, humorous and touching stories. 
Laugh with people as they recall innocent childhoods growing up island-style in multi-cultural sugar plantation "camps," going barefoot until high school and making toys of whatever was on hand, like Frisbees from car-flattened, sun-dried toads. Journey thousands of miles across oceans in a voyaging canoe with sailors who navigate only by the stars, the moon, the sun and waves as their ancestors did when they discovered Hawaii more than 1,500 years ago. 
Meet four World War II veterans who fought overseas to defend their country.
Dance hula with women who keep this lovely cultural tradition alive.
Feel the ocean spray as residents share their love of surfing, canoe paddling and strolling along secluded sun-warmed beaches, often making the only footsteps in the sand.  

Come to know the fun, spirit and adventure of Kauai's people!
