Mano Ka'ao

The plane descended toward the islands. They looked like beautiful green jewels in the deep blue ocean. Cindy felt like bouncing up and down in her seat. She was home!

Cindy's mother was a native Hawaiian and had lived on the islands all her life but shortly after Cindy was born she took a job in Chicago and hadn't been back since. She would never say why.

Cindy just felt drawn to her native soil. She'd always been a beach bum, weather permitting, and was a star swimmer in high school. She constantly read surf magazines too and was dying to give it a try. She had been bugging her moher as long as she could remember to take a trip there. Then finally for her eighteenth birthday Cindy's mom surprised her with a ticket. She could stay with her grandmother in Hawaii for the whole summer before starting college!

Cindy stepped off the plane and a beautiful Hawaiian girl in a grass skirt and flowery bikini top put a lei around her neck.

"Aloha! Welcome to Hawaii!"

She leaned in and kissed Cindy and their breasts briefly touched.

"Aloha. Thank you." Cindy said, mesmerized by the girl's large dark eyes.

She wished she could stay here and kiss this sexy wahine some more. But the line kept moving and of course she didn't know if this beauty even liked girls or not. But she knew the beaches would be covered with beautiful women and men. She was going to love Hawaii!

Across the room she saw the sweet little old lady she knew only from pictures waving at her. She ran to her.

"Kupuna!"

"Cindy, Ipo! You're even prettier than your pictures! Aloha, welcome home!"

They grabbed Cindy's bags, she packed very light, little more than swimsuits, and left. But there was one thing she needed. They stopped at a surf shop before they even got to her grandmother's little house.

Cindy pretty much lived on the beach for her first two weeks. There were beautiful people all over. She made lots of friends and had lots of fun, light flirtations but mainly she was in love with the surf and the sun. She took to surfing like she'd been doing it all her life and was seriously thinking about entering some competitions. She knew this was where she belonged.
