EDIT PICK:
BEST LOCAL SURFER
Archie Kalepa
He’s ridden 60-foot waves at Peahi. “Big wave riding is the best
damn drug out there,” he once told a Maui Time reporter. When asked
later what a big wave was, he said simply, “It’s a wave that scares
me.” Kalepa’s also the chief Maui County lifeguard, and he’s
revolutionized ocean rescues using jet-skis. He’s also paddle-surfed
Honolua Bay and played himself on Baywatch. Did I mention he’s also a
Lahaina Town resident, family man and all-around nice guy? (AP)
