At 26, Kiva is considered the next generation of ocean pioneers. With Buzzy Kerbox as his mentor, it isn't a surprise that Kiva excels in all water
sports and is a fierce competitor with a great Hawaiian-style, positive outlook.
He is definitely carving his mark in the water as a champion longboarder, amazing shortboarder and overall talent as a well-rounded waterman.
Kiva is also a great paddler and proved this in the recent Molokai race (a grueling 32-mile race and true test for the serious waterman) where he took
second place in his respective team stock division.
With deep family roots in the island culture, Kiva is active in the community with kids through his family history and his father's literature seminars,
and plays a major role in sharing his love for the water with others.
When Kiva isn't in the water, you might see him in a magazine as a successful model, but his true passion remains close to
home where he can take advantage of the ocean and all it has to offer.
Kiva's talent, energy, and positive vibe are the true testament of an authentic waterman, and are the fundamentals of the Honolua
Surf Co. brand philosophy.
