Cino was born on O'ahu and has been a surfboard shaper here for over 50 years. He has shaped surfboards for the top reputable companies like, HIC , Blue Hawaii, T&C and many world renowned surfers, including Kierin Perrow, former Pipline Masters winner and current World Surfing League Commissioner.
I moved to Hawaii in 1975 and graduated from University of Hawaii and have called the North Shore home since then. I recently retired form teaching after 30 years.
Cino and I bought our North Shore home in 1994. Since that time we have raised a blended family of 2 sons and 4 daughters. All who have been in and out of the home over the years. Since our sons are avid surfers, we have entertained visitors from all over the world coming to surf the North Shore waves! Our children are all grown and married with children of their own and living in various parts of the islands.
So now we find ourselves as "empty nesters". We thought of selling our home but we really love it and cherish all the memories we have shared here. This is why we decided on the home-sharing idea. Along with sharing our aloha and our home, we offer the local knowledge of living on the North Shore for over 40 years.
Aloha Nui Loa!
