About Hawaiian Portable Beaches

20 years ago, my wife and I were living in Hawai’i when 9/11 happened, and we became unemployed. At that time, we had to come up with a new way to make a living. So with the love of art and the beautiful beaches around us, we came up with the Portable Beach. We started out slow to learn our craft, which took about 6 months to perfect. We eventually got them into stores and started selling them at farmers markets. After 18 years of doing our craft, two volcanic eruptions almost took us out. Shortly after that, my wife of 35 years got Lukemia and passed away very quickly within six months. So at that time, I had to pull up my boot straps and some how keep going. Even though the business was doing well, it was best for me to stop the farmers markets and supplying many stores. I needed focus on taking care of our dogs, two Boston Terriers, Snickers and Haku, and our small farm, which is off grid and solar powered. Because it was too much to handle on my own, I decided to build a website. Now, I can offer you our inspiring Portable Beaches online. They are still hand made one at a time with Aloha and respect for the ʻāina (land). I wish you many hours, days and years of enjoyment looking, playing and healing with our Hawaiian Portable Beaches.
