Growing up in snow and fresh water, once Tay Steele had a taste of island life in the Marshall Islands, Virgin Islands and Hawai‘i, his love for the people, culture, and lifestyle brought him to settle on the North Shore of O‘ahu. In the last three years, Tay has established himself as an up-and-coming filmmaker with a passion for telling stories of land and sea. SURFER magazine said earlier this year, “In a time when the surf world needs fuller storytelling and fresh vision, Tay might just be that new face who brings it back around.”

Born and raised in Hawai‘i, Crystal Thornburg-Homcy‘s (Sliding into the Light, Beyond the Surface) first steps were at the beach. An accomplished longboarder and all-around ocean athlete, she also bodysurfs, freedives and races canoes, kayaks and paddleboards. With a degree in Environmental Science, Crystal works closely with a number of environmental non-profits. She lives on the North Shore, where she and her husband run an organic produce company, Crave Greens.

Mindy Pennybacker is a veteran journalist and author of Do One Green Thing: Saving the Earth Through Simple, Everyday Choices (St. Martin’s Press, 2010). Born and raised in Honolulu, Mindy grew up with a love of surfing and currently writes the Honolulu Star Advertiser‘s “In the Line Up” column.

Karin Amimoto Ingersoll was born and raised on O‘ahu and is a graduate of Punahou School.  She received her BA from Brown University in history and international relations in 1996, her Ph.D. from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa in indigenous politics in 2009, and was the recipient of the Hawai‘i Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2010.  She has published a short story entitled, “An Oceanic Nation,” in Indigenous Encounters: Exploring Relations Between People in the Pacific (2010), and a book entitled, Waves of Knowing: A Seascape Epistemology (2016).
