When Mama Lei Lei steps onto the sand, even the biggest surfer steps aside. For over 50 years, Soleil Kawai has held the record for biggest wave surfed ever on the island of Sulani. In fact, she is the only one who has succesfully ridden "The Nāmaka", a monstrous wave that comes around once a decade. She is the heart of Sulani and her legendary stories are what keep the island traditions alive. If you're lucky, she might teach you how to hang ten like a pro. #elder #sulani #surfer #grandma #SparkdGoldenAge #SparkdChallenges
