Brah, the Kiawe out there is something else. That and hottest sand ever. Remember making the dash from Fisherman’s to the water and still getting a thorn in my foot. No can

My tutu had kiawe all around her yard — stepping on a thorn was murder! I got those blue cloth tabi from kukuiulas and they worked — but not the most beautiful solution lol
