Fierce Heart: The Story of Makaha and the Soul of Hawaiian Surfing

Although Makaha is a small, isolated town on the Western coast of Oâ€˜ahu, it has produced some of the most intriguing Hawaiians of the twentieth century:Â 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 songwriterÂ Israel Kamakawiwoâ€˜ole. What connects them is a love for their culture, their people, and water sports. Fierce Heart combines stories of exciting surfing competitions, dramatic water rescues, and deep friendships with a look at the history and origins of one of the worldâ€™s most thrilling extreme sports.
