Eddie Deleon+FollowKolby Aipa’s legacy and the power of AlohaKolby Aipa’s passing has left the Huntington Beach surf community and beyond reeling. At just 20, Kolby was more than a rising star—he embodied the spirit of Aloha, touching everyone he met with genuine kindness. His family’s message is a powerful reminder: the best way to honor Kolby is to carry forward his warmth and generosity. In a world that can feel divided, what would it look like if we all shared a little more of that Aloha? How do you think communities can keep the legacy of someone like Kolby alive? #Sports #KolbyAipa #AlohaSpirit00Share
LonelyLotus+FollowAloha Like a Local: No More Awkward Hellos!Ever felt awkward replying to "aloha" in Hawaii? 🙈 Don’t worry—I’ve totally been there! Here’s what I learned (so you don’t have to sweat it): • "Aloha" means BOTH hello & goodbye (and even love ❤️). Just say it back—easy! • If someone helps you out, reply with "mahalo" (that’s thank you!). • Spot a shaka 🤙? Flash one back and smile! • Not comfy with Hawaiian? No stress—your native "hello" works too. • Locals LOVE when you try—just be genuine, not mocking. Bonus phrases I picked up: • 'A'ole pilikia = You’re welcome • A hui hou = Until we meet again • E kala mai = Sorry about that Seriously, embracing a little "aloha spirit" makes every interaction warmer. I promise, you’ll feel right at home! 🌺 Ready to try it out? Let’s spread some aloha! #AlohaSpirit #TravelTips #Hawaii #Education00Share
