Danny Way - Mens Journal

Elyse and I had an memorable assignment a couple months back. We got to spend the day with skateboarder Danny Way at his new house in Kauai. We all had so much fun just hanging out, drinking beers and riding quads.

It was exciting to meet Danny, with being a skateboarder myself, I've been watching Danny Skate for about 16 years now.

Donnie Arnoult vs Haleakalä

The next day after the 'tree trimmer' assignment I met up the Donnie Arnoult, a retired pro cyclist who now owns a bike shop on Maui and also takes riders on a grueling bike tour, which they climb Haleakalä from the bottom up, ascending 10,000 feet over thirty-six miles.
