One of the biggest misconceptions about Hawaii is that we do not have a winter season, anyone who has been here for the last week can testify that we very much do have a colder season. It has been rainy, windy and cold for longer than I particularly care for. I spent a few of those indoor hours scanning Oahu’s coast line with Google Earth and noticed a nice ledge around the perimeter of the HNL reef runway. So when the sun finally came out yesterday I was all about getting out there and checking it out even though it was Thursday and I suppose I should have been in the office being a productive member of society. Please don’t judge me. I’m not one to judge so hey I loaded up the yak and went exploring. – RM

Aloha kākou!
As many of you know, we here at FITTED have a deep affinity for Hawaiian culture and we enjoy passing anything we learn on to our friends and family. This Saturday, we have a special quickstrike release, aptly titled “Kekuanohu.” Utilizing our newly dubbed Kulāiwi (homeland) graphic, we pay homage to the old Honolulu Fort.
In the early 19th century, King Kamehameha granted Russian fur traders permission to build a simple storehouse close to where Aloha Tower stands today, but they instead constructed a fort and raised their Russian flag. When King Kamehameha learned of this, he kicked them out and claimed the fort as his own, eventually adding many large-caliber guns along the walls, which gave the fort its clever nickname “Kekuanohu” (the back of the scorpion fish).
Mahalo to Christian Yee, who did a great write-up on this story. Please check out his blog, Pohukaina Cave, for more info and images on Fort Kekuanohu.

This Saturday we’re releasing a new Kamehameha snapback specially designed for the Kamehameha Schools Surf Team, featuring white embroidery and top button on a deep navy base. A gray undervisor and white snap enclosure finish off the look. To go with the hat we’re also releasing our classic “Aloha Served Daily” tee in navy with white print.
