Born and raised on Pupukea, the mountainous region above Waimea Bay in Oahu, Rosie Jaffurs talks about her paradise home with as much awe and gratitude for her lucky lifestyle as tourists passing through. Rosie spends every spare second in the surf, perfecting her gift and dancing her way across the waves.

Remember that slow-motion high of your very first wave? Gliding on the ocean’s energy and smiling so hard you thought you’d break your face, as a private surf instructor on the North Shore of Hawaii, Rosie Jaffurs vicariously re-lives that experience almost every day through the stoked eyes of her clients. “It brings me a feeling I didn’t know about,” says Rosie about the happiness she gains while teaching surfing.
