BLUE CRUSH

Life for Anne Marie (Kate Bosworth) has been one long Pipe dream. She’s about to make that dream a reality if she can keep from drowning in her own fear. As the clock ticks down to the Pipe Masters surf competition on the North Shore of Oahu, more is at stake for Anne Marie than the pressure of competing in one of the world’s most dangerous, aggressive and male-dominated sports. She must first win a dreaded contest within. Sharing a beach shack with her best friends Eden (Michelle Rodriguez)and Lena (Sanoe Lake) and rebellious younger sister Penny (Mika Boorem), Anne Marie lives for the adrenaline-charged surf scene, rising before dawn every day to charge the Pipeline’s deadly waves. The friends eke out a living as maides in a luxury resort hotel. The humble job pays the bills and lets them keep their focus on the water. But things change when a pro football team with slovenly habits and fat wallets checks in. Like it or not, Anne Marie starts loosing her balance – and finding it – as she falls for quarterback Matt Tollman (Matthew Davis). Suddenly there are options: trophy wife or trophy winner? But there’s really only one choice for someone like Anne Marie. Matt knows it, too – that’s why he likes her. And when Annie faces a paralyzing moment of truth on the biggest day of her life, Matt is there along with Lena, Eden and Penny, to help her remember why the goal that has driven her for so long matters so much.

BAYWATCH HAWAII WEDDING: THE CAST REUNION

When the Baywatch clan gathers in Hawaii for Mitch's wedding, a villian from his past puts the group in life-threatening jeapordy!

FIFTY FIRST DATES

Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore star together for the first time since The Wedding Singer in one of the funniest romantic comedies in years. Henry (Sandler) lives an enviable life in a Hawaiian paradise, spending every night with a beautiful tourist in search of an island fling. It's a sweet life with no strings attached...until he meets Lucy (Barrymore). He and Lucy hit it off from the get-go, but the next day she acts like she doesn't know him. Has his karma come around to kick him in the butt or what? Actually, Lucy has short-term memory loss so every night all memory of her day is erased. But a man in love will go to any lengths to win over the girl of his dreams, and if that means having to find imaginative ways of doing it over again every day, then Henry's up for the challenge. Rob Schneider (Big Daddy) and Sean Astin (The Lord of the Rings trilogy) co-star in 50 First Dates, which will win you over every time you watch it!

50 First Dates DVD

Lilo is a 5 year old Hawaiian girl who's quite peculiar: she has an off beat take on life and is a little obsessed about taking care of downtrodden animals. for example, she collects cans and bottles to recycle from the beach and buys fish food with the money she makes, then paddles out in the ocean to feed the fish there. Meanwhile, on a distant planet, alien authorities have captured the most dangerous of all criminals and are sending him via rocket to a prison planet. This is stitch.

Hawaii Fish Cards

Franko's O'ahu Reef Creatures Guide (fish card). Franko's fish cards are stiff, laminated plastic, with a hole for a lanyard. Take it snorkeling or scuba diving with you! Size of Fish Cards: 6" x 9"

Franko’s Oahu Reef Creatures Guide

Side 1 shows a mini-map of Oahu with a few of it’s best diving and snorkeling spots located, most notably Hanauma Bay.  The map is a scaled-down version of Franko’s Map of Oahu, showing the island’s lovely shape and green mountains, and the beautiful surrounding Pacific Ocean.  A humpback whale, spinner dolphin, and Hawaiian monk seal are depicted on the map.  Oahu’s main towns, Pearl Harbor and it’s highways and freeways can be seen.  Below the beautiful mini-map is a fabulous photo of Oahu’s most popular snorkeling destination, Hanauma Bay.  There is nowhere else on earth that is snorkeled by so many.  Just beyond the reef line, which can easily be seen in the photo, the snorkeling just gets better and better.  There might be 2000 visitors at any time in the shallows, but out where it is 12 to 18 feet deep there will usually be no one else out there with you.  Visibility might reach 80 feet or more.  I just had to put it on the fish card to represent the truly fabulous underwater Oahu.

Side 2 shows the wonderful reef life of Oahu.  Oahu has such great snorkeling and scuba diving that it must have it’s own quality fish card.  This is it!  This picture of Oahu’s fish is the result of personal inspiration, as Franko has snorkeled and scuba dived all around Oahu, and especially at Hanauma Bay.  The fish card, which measure 6" x 9", is printed on plastic and then laminated so that it is stiff, shiny and waterproof.  It has a hole for a lanyard, so you can actually take it diving or snorkeling.  I’ve used a thick rubber ban
d as an effective lanyard for mine.  The reef creatures depicted on these cards are taken from my own artwork on Franko’s Map of Oahu.  The fish shown include over 80 species, including a dozen or so that are found nowhere else on earth.   The Hawaiian fish shown are selected from about 435 species that exist in Hawaii, and are based on Franko’s personal exploration.  The colors and the means of showing them are based on personal observation.  The naming of the fish in Hawaiian as well as English is helped by the experts at the Maui Ocean Center, The Pacific Whale Foundation, Hanauma Bay rangers, The Waikiki Aquarium, and local knowledge.    I love them all, but maybe my favorite is the Humuhumu Nukunuku Apua’a, Hawaii’s State Fish.

Franko’s Map of Oahu, The Gathering Place

Franko’s Map of Oahu, The Gathering Place

Side 1 shows Franko’s Map of Oahu, with a view of the whole island, it’s mountain ranges shown in beautiful green shaded relief, as well as it’s freeways and major roads, plus creeks, trails and things to see or places to go.  Beyond the island, the ocean waters are shown in beautiful shades of tropical ocean blue, indicating ocean depth contours.  All about the island there are descriptions of it’s fabulous scuba and snorkeling spots, famous surfing spots, and great places to visit.  Favorite dive spots include Hanauma Bay, possibly the most snorkeled spot on earth, and also Magic Island right next to Waikiki, the wreck of the Y0-257, which is visited by the Atlantis tourist submarine right out of Waikiki, the M/V Mahi on Oahu’s west where eagle rays soar by, Turtles, where numerous green sea turtles can been seen on almost any day, U’lua Cave, or Black Rock, where white tip reef sharks guard a big cave, and many more.  The North Shore not only features dive spots like Shark’s Cove, Snagles, Turtle Street and Hale’iwa Trench, but also great surfing spots like Sunset Beach, Banzai Pipeline, Waimea Bay, Chun’s Reef, Laniakea, and Hale’iwa.  Follow Franko’s map to Laniakea and check out the old, 300-pound green sea turtles grazing on the algae right at the beach, or even resting on the beach there, as they have for thousands of years.  The East Shore shows  the map owner where to find the Polynesian Cultural Center (the PCC to the locals), the Mormon Hawaii Temple, which is probably the most beautiful edifice in the State of Hawaii, and Sandy Beach, famous for it’s body-whomping heavy shorebreak, which commonly ruins a few unwary tourists’ vacations, as they find out just how powerful the beautiful ocean can be.  Around the map there is a collection of artwork of tropical fish, which are named in Hawaiian and English, and depicted in a reef environment with photos by Franko.

Side 2 shows Franko’s Map of Waikiki & Oahu South Shore Details.  The entire South Shore from Honolulu to Makapu’u Head, Oahu’s easternmost point, is shown so that the viewer can get a close-up view of the island topography, including Diamond Head Crater.  More things to do, places to visit, dive and diving sites are shown.  The highlight of this side of the map is the superbly detailed map of Waikiki, which shows where everything is, including most of the hotels, Kapiolani Park, Ala Moana Beach Park, Waikiki Beach, the Ala Moana Shopping Center, the International Market Place, over 200 buildings, the DFS Galleria, the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, Ala Wai Harbor, Ala Wai Canal, Ala Wai Golf Course, and much more.  Local well known surfing, snorkeling and diving spots are shown with descriptions as well.  This map of Waikiki is the very best there is, except for the one that appears on Franko’s Map of Waikiki and Oahu with Things to See and Do. In depth topographical map of Oahu with detailed listing of beaches dive sites and the tropical fish in the area. Printed on waterproof tear-resistant paper. Measures 21 x 14 open 7 x 4.25 folded.
