Aloha, I’m Kaniela — professional longboard surfer, lifelong waterman, and licensed boat captain based in Waikīkī.

The ocean has been my classroom my entire life. From nose-riding longboards on the South Shore to operating boats in Hawaiian waters, I’ve dedicated my life to understanding the ocean and sharing it with others.

I started Tsunami Surf Adventures with one goal: to create a surf and ocean experience that feels safe, personal, and unforgettable.
