Aloha From Kauai With Our Friends At Deus

We all know the Hawaiian Islands are an amazing vacation destination. A glorious place boasting beautiful beaches, picturesque valleys, and more than its fair share of unreal natural beauty. Filled with resorts of all kinds, golf courses a plenty and rife with all manner of opportunities for leisure. An archipelago of eight major islands, several atolls, numerous smaller islets and seamounts loosely gathered together and plonked smack bang in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean.

It all came about from an out of the blue call to go race our 40+ year-old dirt bikes at the 68th Annual Garden Isle Grand Prix on the island of Kauai, and it was one of those calls where we have no other choice but to just say yes and figure out the logistics later. We raced, we laughed, we made new friends, and we drank more than a few cold ones. Aloha and stoke was shared by all and we all walked away with one hell of a good memory in the bank.
