EDITOR'S NOTE
Hawaii
Blue Crushes
’TIS THE SEASON
for love, passion and
obsession: the perfect
opportunity for you to
meet 11 Hawaiians who
are head over heels for
their homeland and
its surrounding Pacific
Ocean. In “Bodies of Water,” (page 28), up!
contributing editor Eric Rumble celebrates
pioneering lifeguards, event organizers,
and pro surfers and discovers that these
men and women have long pushed the
boundaries of what a human being can
do in the water, while teaching the rest
of us to recognize our limits and either
break through them or play within them.
Take therapist Mark Marble, who inspires
hundreds with cognitive and physical
disabilities to get in the ocean with a
unique in-water therapy he created. Archie
Kalepa, on the other hand, developed an
ocean-rescue technique that’s saving lives
and is a proponent of playing within your
capabilities. His just happen to involve getting towed straight into a 30-foot wave.
Staying alive, he tells us, has everything
to do with a love for the big blue playground where he treads. “It’s like a marriage,” he says. “It’s all about trust, respect,
support.” The man can apparently write
Valentine’s Day cards as well.
Also in this issue, we salute another
group of visionaries: the up! readers. Our
fifth-annual travel photo contest inspired
hundreds to share their best pictures from
their favourite WestJet destination in Canada, the U.S., Mexico and the Caribbean. We
also received photos (a lot of photos) from
inside the airplane cabin—a phenomenon
that although not prize-winning, is something that clearly fascinates our readers.
As a result, it gets recognized under the
half-baked category of “Best WestJet Wing
Shot”) for the second year in a row.
The three winning photos and their
unique portrayals of place were rated by
our online travel community and chosen by
our staff. Go to page 57 to see what it takes
to win camera gear and WestJet flights,
and to get inspired for our next photo
contest (open now at upmagazine.com).
I hope you enjoy this issue and please
share your thoughts at upmagazine.com.

STORY BY ERIC RUMBLe
QUEBEC CITY
Technically the race
is non-contact, but try
telling that to these guys.
EXTREME SPORTS
Crash of
the Titans
THINK OF OLD Quebec City as
the regal, weathered face of the
country’s grandmother, and the
Red Bull Crashed Ice World
Championship track as a gigantic,
gleaming white tongue unfurling
from her mouth.
Tens of thousands bundled-up
folks cram inside the Old Town’s
thick stone walls, the throng
crowded against a serpentine
frozen slide that’s 550 metres long
and sculpted with obstacles. A
stampede of hands thumps the
boards that bookend the track. Air
horns bray. Guitar licks and bass
thwacks reverberate. The cold
gnaws the crowd, steam billows
and flasks and mugs abound.
Skates warble over infinite
snow-dusted ruts as racers in full
hockey gear jostle for position.
The race begins near the Château
Frontenac and ends next to the
icy currents of the St. Lawrence
River. The track's rough edges
and sharp corners undulate like
a nasty tide’s menace turned to
translucent stone.
Calgary resident Kerri Anne
Wallace, 2009’s inaugural women’s champ, had one word for this
spectacle: “gnarly.” But for every
last gutsy contender, the mettle
being tested by this daunting
gauntlet is balance, not brawn.
Quebec City’s Red Bull Crashed
Ice World Championship begins
with qualifying races on March 19,
and crowns men’s and women’s
champions on March 20. The
festivities are capped with a street
party on the Grand Allée. All
events (and adrenaline rushes) are
free (redbullcrashedice.com).

Mexico
WORLD RECORDS
Mexicans Go for Gold
LAST VALENTINE’S DAY in Mexico City’s Zocalo Square, some
39,897 citizens and tourists smooched their way to the world’s
largest public kiss, out-smacking a 2008 British record by
thousands. Such achievements were huge in Mexico last year, a
country whose citizens hold Guinness World Records for everything from oversized Christmas ornaments to the largest flour
taco. Below, we honour the recent record-setting by a country
notably missing from Vancouver and Whistler this month.
LARGEST CHEESECAKE
With a team of 55 chefs, 800 kilos of cream cheese and yogurt,
350 kilos of cookies, 250 kilos of sugar, 150 kilos of butter and
100 kilos of strawberries, chef Miguel Angel Quezada whipped
up a dessert fit for Godzilla, measuring 2.5 metres in diameter.
More than 20,000 slices were passed out around Mexico City.
LONGEST MARATHON OF SPEECHES
Inspired by Toastmasters International, 458 speakers went on
for nearly 73 hours to promote a culture of debate to Mexican
youth.
LONGEST CATWALK
In San Luis Potosi, 81 fashion models flaunted up and down a
runway stretching 1,320.5 metres.
LARGEST MEATBALL
Prepared to promote the film adaptation of Cloudy With a
Chance of Meatballs, chefs at Cancun’s Ritz Carlton made and
served a 109-pound meatball. Talk show host Jimmy Kimmel
was so steamed that he beat it on air—twice—about seven
weeks later with a mammoth 198.6-pound wad of beef.
LARGEST GROUP OF ‘THRILLER’ DANCERS
Led by impersonator Hector Jackson and a team of choreographers at Mexico City’s Monument to the Revolution, a costumed
mob of 13,597 celebrated the late King of Pop’s birthday
(August 29) by grooving to the title track from the best selling
album of all time. This dwarfed the previous record, set by 242
American college students in May.
LARGEST MARIACHI BAND
Assembled outside the Cabanas Cultural Institute in Guadalajara,
the birthplace of mariachi, some 549 horn-blowers, bassists and
violinists played classics like “Ceilito Lindo” and “Guadalajara.”
OLYMPICS
The ups and downs of Canadian Olympic skier Jenn Hiel
The queen of moguls defends her Olympic Gold Medal—while flashing her own bling courtesy of
a new sponsorship with BIRKS jewellery—in Whistler this month. Like the terrain on which she excels,
the 26-year-old Spruce Grove, Alberta, native’s career has been up and down. Here’s her trajectory, with
hopes for another high point on the podium when the world is watching. —Dan James
18
She continues her
winning ways in 2001,
capturing a bronze
in her first
World Cup.
At only 16, Jenn bursts
on to the mogul scene
in 2000, winning her first
Canadian national title.
She caps her comeback in 2006 with
Olympic Gold and her second-straight
World Championship.
Rehabbed and reinvigorated,
Jenn returns in 2003 to win four
consecutive World Cup titles.
Competing in her first Olympics, she misses the podium
in Salt Lake by the slimmest of margins: 1/100 of a point.
Prolonged knee pain caused
by a misaligned hip sidelines
her for the ’07/’08 season.
As the new BIRKS
ambassador, Jenn
unveils her passion
for design, creating
her own line of jewellery.

STORY BY SHELLEY ARNUSCH
VANCOUVER
Q+A
Roberto
Luongo
Born and raised in Montréal,
the 30-year-old captain
of the Vancouver Canucks
and Team Canada goalie
talks Olympics, travel and
his various hometowns
Who’s your hockey hero?
As a kid, it was Grant Fuhr.
Do you have a favourite
Olympic moment?
There are a few, but probably the one
I remember the most is when Myriam
Bédard won her biathlon gold medals
[at the 1994 Lillehammer games]. She
was from Quebéc and at home it was a
big thing, a historic moment.
Where was your last vacation?
They’re all exciting. I enjoy every
sport because it’s the world’s best
athletes competing against each other,
but if I had to pick just one, I’d say
speed skating.
Hawaii. You feel like you’re in paradise
when you’re there. There’s the ocean,
the weather’s great. It’s tranquil, and
you can relax and you don’t have anything to worry about.
Hockey’s a fast game. What’s your
favourite way to slow down in Vancouver?
What do you miss most about Montréal?
I like to take a ride through Stanley Park
[in his Mercedes G-Wagon]; maybe stop
in at the Prospect Point Cafe (5601 Stanley Park Dr.; prospectpoint.ca).
Where are you going for your
next vacation?
Usually we like to go to Hawaii from
Vancouver, but this summer we’re
intending to go to Atlantis (atlantis.com)
in the Bahamas.
20
I miss my friends and my family the
most. But as for the city, I’d say I miss
going to the Old Port. It’s a quaint area,
lots of little shops and restaurants and
entertainment. Pretty much anything
you need is down there in an old setting
from back in the day. It’s pretty cool.
You spent a long time in Miami playing
for the Florida Panthers. What do you
miss most about the city?
The weather, the warm climate. Miami’s
very laid back; it’s a nice place to relax
and enjoy during the off-season.
What’s always in your carry-on?
My laptop, a MacBook Pro.
iPhone or BlackBerry?
iPhone. There’s more things you can
do on the iPhone and you can
download games on it, like Bejeweled.
What’s on your playlist on the road?
I use my iPhone. I love all different
kinds of music, but my favourite
bands are U2 and Coldplay.

ST. MARTIN
SOUVENIRS
Shopping for History
Must-have mementoes from both sides of a diverse Caribbean jewel
Sint Maarten/Saint Martin is
bathed in raucous history and the Caribbean island’s cultural secrets hide
within ubiquitous souvenirs across
the land. Check out the stories behind
the mementoes below before deciding
which to bring home.
Cigars (Preferably
Chocolate-Flavoured)
The country’s economy was
fuelled with the salt, cotton
and tobacco trade during the
halcyon days after the Treaty
of Concordia in 1648. While
the Dutch side paved the path
in tobacco production, farms
sprouted across the island and
tobacco still plays a major role
in the local culture. A savoury
case of Saint Martin-brand
chocolate-flavoured cigars from
the Cigar Emporium (US$10) is
hand-rolled nearby and adds a
bit of decadence to your history
lesson (66 Front St., Philipsburg;
599-542-2787).
Ruby Bute Art
22
Locally revered Ruby Bute is a
poet, a painter and a storyteller.
Her impressive 1,500-sq.-ft. gallery
sits on her overgrown property
in St. Martin, just beyond a gate
that is opened by request. Her
colourful pieces depict many
shades of island history. Grab a
print,
starting at US$10, and let her
tell you the story behind the
image (F-97150 St. Martin;
590-580-5533).
Saint Martin Rum
Rum on the island is legendary, infused
with folklore, and delivers a unique sweet
bite. Distilling dates back to the 1800s when
private homes produced it from the plentiful
sugar cane by-products without government regulation.
Hand-painted bottles from Ma Doudou Punch, a hardto-find shop stocked floor-to-ceiling with liquor in the
St. Martin town of Cul de Sac, are considered a must for
their famously smooth flavours (banana vanilla, anyone?).
Plastic bottles made on site start at US$8 for a half litre
(97150 St. Martin Cul de Sac; 590-87-3043).
Guavaberry
Barbecue Sauce
Spicy and sweet are popular
flavour combos on the island,
so a US$9 bottle of this sauce
straight from the Guavaberry
Emporium in Philipsburg is a
great way to bring the island’s
taste home. The shop was once
the governor’s house and now
serves as the headquarters for
this berry and the concoctions
deriving from its cultivation. The
island is said to have the highest
concentration of guava berries
on the planet, and while the fruit
was never a source of major local
commerce, its use in jams, juices,
tarts and cakes dates back more
than a century (8–10 Front St.,
Philipsburg; 599-542-2965;
guavaberry.com).
Shoppers in the know go to
Marigot. This is the heart of
St. Martin’s French style, where
clothes are shipped straight
out of Paris and authentic
French influences make up the
city’s inner workings—particularly when it comes to what to
wear. Throughout the island’s
history, France has occupied
the entire area at various times,
leaving a deep footprint in the
local culture. For US$2 each
at the Shipwreck Shop, a lacy
old-fashioned bag is a stylish
(and affordable) nod to a faded
colonial power (Le West Indies
Mall, Marigot; 590-51-0774;
shipwreckshops.com).
The Wednesday and Saturday morning markets in Marigot, set up along the wharves on
the Boulevard de France, are free to browse and famous for their wide variety of produce,
fish, seasonings, and arts and crafts. The makeshift shops allow for leisurely shopping while
gazing at the crystal-clear Caribbean waters. Find high-end fashion and jewellery in a cluster
of stores at the Marina Port la Royale all week long.

Spells and Whistles
Inside the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando
The new Wizarding World of Harry
Potter park at Universal Orlando’s Islands of
Adventure was crafted with an appropriate
dose of secrecy. There were several years of
closed-door meetings, hush-hush expense
reports, endless red-eye flights to London for
face time with author J.K. Rowling and trips
to the Scottish Highlands to study the cuisine
and architecture of Hogwarts’ imaginary
setting. Tack on constant supervision by the
film series’ Academy Award-winning production designer Stuart Craig and art director
Alan Gilmore, plus custom cameos from the
original cast produced for insertion into the
rides, and you’ve got a US$265-million,
eight-hectare wonderland that’s generating
the type of buzz typically reserved for a
Rowling book release. Take a tour of our
rendition of the grounds, crafted from
Universal Orlando Studios' illustrations
(universalorlandoresort.com/harrypotter).
Hogsmeade
Village
A Great Western
Railroad “Hall”-class
locomotive, No.
5972—straight out
of the movie and still
belching steam—
greets guests at the
entrance. Inside
the village, stop at
The Owlery, where
nesting animatronic
owls carry off US
Mail-sanctioned
letters stamped with
the Hogsmeade
postmark. It’s the
only place in the
world where you
can send a postcard
from Potter’s school
district.

Hog’s Head Pub
Thank Universal Studios’ executive chef Steve Jayson for doing
his homework and bringing back the authentic tastes of Scotland,
albeit slightly modernized for New World palettes. Look forward
to pumpkin juice and Butterbeer, which in Tudor times contained
butter, sugar and egg yolks in addition to alcohol. Jayson has
(thankfully) updated the recipe for hot Florida summers.
Ollivander’s
Wand Shop
Here the wand chooses the
wizard, instead of the other
way around. Don’t ask how—
something about sparks flying
when a wand first meets
its master. Each one of the
wands in stock can reportedly
activate hidden objects in the
park (and elsewhere at Islands
of Adventure) using infrared
technology similar to that on
the Nintendo Wii.
Hogwarts Castle
The crown jewel of the park, the castle is about 50
metres high, but uses forced perspective to appear
four times that height (the windows at the top are
smaller than the windows below). Its architecture
is a mishmash of medieval and Victorian, and inside
the walls awaits the most advanced technological
feature in the whole park.
Harry Potter
and the
Forbidden
Journey
Cryptically called
Project Strongarm
during construction,
this signature thrill
ride uses robocoaster technology,
with seats suspended
from a monster
robotic arm—a
six-axis industrial
lift called the Kuka
KR 1000 Titan. The
robot got its start in
auto assembly lines
and iron foundries.
In 2007 its 1,000-kilo
payload capacity
earned a Guinness
World Record for
strength.
Based on the TriWizard Tournament seen in Harry Potter and
the Goblet of Fire, these twin 975-metre-long steel roller coasters comprise the planet’s first duelling, inverted coaster. The
trains are precisely weighed when they leave the station in order
to properly time near-collision points that bring the coasters
within a foot of each other. Better wear the padded cloak.

Eva Longoria Parker
toasts her new
restaurant
in Las Vegas.
Eva Las Vegas
26
Eva Longoria Parker jumps into the Las Vegas dining fray, brandishing
her high-end home cooking and a choice spot in the new CityCenter
EVA LONGORIA PARKER gets what she
wants, even when she doesn’t know she
wants it. Take the Desperate Housewives
star’s foray into the Las Vegas dining
scene, for example. Less than a year
after realizing her long-time dream of
opening up her own restaurant with the
debut of Beso (Spanish for “kiss”) in Los
Angeles, the model-turned-actress and
avid cook jumped at the chance to open
a second location in Las Vegas.
“The city has so many great restaurants
and chefs, so I knew I wanted to extend
Beso [there],” she says. “I just thought it
would be much later in my life.”
But the fact that Beso numero dos was
invited to open in the opulent 67-acre,
US$8.5-billion CityCenter city-withina-city development, surrounded by
sophisticated neighbours (see sidebar),
expedited the expansion.
Beso Las Vegas (besolasvegas.com)
opened its doors in December, and
while it’s a sister property of a Hollywood counterpart, it’s no twin. Just
as with Beso Hollywood, Longoria
Parker’s culinary colleague, renowned
chef Todd English, is at the helm.
The sleek, sinful décor—complete
with luxe chandeliers and a rich
brown-and-gold colour scheme—
travelled from L.A. But in Sin City,
diners can head to Beso for lunch
as well as dinner to savour the Latin
steakhouse menu, which includes
chili-rubbed skirt steak and paella, as
well as Longoria Parker’s own tortilla
soup and guacamole, both cherished
Mexican family recipes from her youth
in Corpus Christi, Texas.
“In my culture, food is the reason we
come together, from dinner everyday at
6, to making tamales at Christmas with
my aunts, mom and sisters,” she says.
“I think cooking is a very personal
thing to share with people. I do it every
week in my house with my friends and
my family, so I wanted to be able to do
that on a much wider scale.”
The piece de resistance is Eve, the
8,000-sq.-ft. nightclub that opened on
New Year’s Eve above the restaurant.
A massive 360-degree video screen
encompasses the dance floor and
lavish VIP booths soar towards the
50-foot-tall arched ceiling.
“It’s stunning. Gigantic. Enormous.
Artistic.” Longoria Parker gushes about
her new digs. “CityCenter definitely
indulges in excellence and luxury.”
getting there WestJet flies to Las
Vegas 74 times weekly from various Canadian cities this month.
In Good Company
Eva Longoria Parker’s new
resto boasts some impressive
neighbours—and competitors
Aria Resort & Casino The heart of
CityCenter boasts 4,004 guest rooms,
16 restaurants and a 150,000-sq.-ft. casino

its signature seafood and mouthwatering

Vdara Hotel & Spa This all-suite boutique

Mandarin Oriental Mandarin’s Vegas debut
features spectacular rooms and the first
U.S. restaurant from world-renowned chef
Pierre Gagnaire (mandarinoriental.com).
Brasserie PUCK and The Pods Chef
extraordinaire Wolfgang Puck brings
two concepts to CityCenter: Brasserie
features tastes of the Mediterranean,
while The Pods offers light American
fare (wolfgangpuck.com).
Todd English P.U.B. Eva’s culinary partner

impressive beer list in his first pub concept

Before she could rip monster waves,

rip alongside the famous Irons brothers on
the Hawaiian island of Kauai and eventually
turned her talent and fearless, punk-rock
demeanor into a remarkable career. Not
surprisingly, balance is her blueprint, on
and off her board.
“I really love being surrounded by nature,
hiking trails, ocean, parks, whatever,” says
Kennelly, who now lives on bustling Waikiki’s
leafy eastern fringe. “But I also love being
able to get a taste of the city whenever I
want. It’s a very delicate balance, and it’s
really easy for there to be too much city.”
—————
Avant de pouvoir foncer dans les mégavagues, avant de tailler une place pour les
femmes dans un sport masculin, avant que
David Milch ne crée un personnage pour
elle dans John From Cincinnati, Keala Kennelly forçait déjà l’attention. « Mes parents
m’ont toujours dit que je marchais comme
John Wayne », dit-elle. Keala apprit à faire
du surf vers l’âge de cinq ans aux côtés
des célèbres frères Irons dans l’île de Kauai,
à Hawaï. Elle transforma ensuite son talent
étonnant et comportement intrépide et
punk rock en une carrière remarquable. Pas
surprenant que l’équilibre soit sa force, sur
terre et mer.
« J’adore me retrouver en pleine nature,
que ce soit des sentiers de randonnée,
l’océan, les parcs ou autre », explique Keala
qui habite dans la verdoyante périphérie
animée à l’est de Waikiki. « Mais j’aime
aussi aller en ville quand je veux. C’est un
équilibre très délicat, et il facile de se laisser engloutir par la ville. »
“Being on Waikiki Beach, there’s a lot of
excitement going on here all the time,”
says hot-blooded big-wave paragon Clyde
Aikau—a larger-than-life enterpriser who
has taught people to surf, stand-up paddle,
jet-ski and parasail here since the 1970s.
“But even today, I can grab a surfboard
and paddle out and it all comes back to
you: the solitude of the ocean is still here
in Waikiki. That hasn’t changed. But, sure,
there are a lot more buildings here, just like
any other place.”
Today, Hawaii is peppered with all sorts
of riffs on the maxim, “Eddie would go,”
harkening back to Aikau’s exalted brother,
who disappeared after his canoe capsized
near Molokai in 1978. Clyde himself is a
decorated surf champ and a cultural giant
around Waikiki, where he runs one of the
state’s oldest surf schools (waikikibeachactivities.com) out of the Hilton Hawaiian
Village Hotel.
—————
« Je suis à Waikiki Beach où il y a toujours de
l’animation », explique Clyde Aikau, modèle
passionné de la grosse vague et entrepreneur plus grand que nature qui enseigne ici
le surf, la planche à ramer, la motomarine
et le parachutisme ascensionnel depuis
les années 1970. « Mais même aujourd’hui,
je peux prendre une planche et partir au
large et tout revient : la solitude de l’océan
existe encore à Waikiki. Cela n’a pas changé.
Certes, il y a beaucoup plus d’édifices, tout
comme ailleurs. »
De nos jours, Hawaï est criblée de toutes
sortes de riffs sur la maxime de Eddie
would go (Eddie irait), faisant référence à
l’estimé frère de Clyde, célèbre pour avoir
trouvé la mort près de Molokai après que
son canot se soit renversé en 1978. Clyde
est également champion de surf décoré
et géant culturel à Waikiki, où il dirige une
des plus anciennes écoles de surf de l’État
(waikikibeachactivities.com) située au
Hilton Hawaiian Village.

ARCHIE KALEPA
DAVE KALAMA
MARK CUNNINGHAM
With a native bloodline and Greek god’s
physique, Archie Kalepa was born to
shepherd his community. He’s been running
Maui’s lifeguard corps for a decade and has
been patrolling beaches for nearly 30 years,
during which he saved 15 people from a hurricane with an ocean-rescue technique he
created. Yet, his most amazing feats seem to
involve putting himself in harm’s way.
The toys in Kalepa’s garage reveal his daredevilry: scuffed dirt bikes, fishing spears and
boards to ride all types of peril.
“I got a guy from NASA to make me some
fins,” he boasts, grinning at his hydrofoil. He’s
surfed Jaws for 13 years and goes big with
tow-in pioneer Buzzy Kerbox.
“It’s like a marriage. It’s all about trust,
respect, support,” Kalepa says. “Buzzy and I
almost don’t need to talk to each other out
there, because we know what the other guy
is going to do.”
—————
De lignée autochtone et doté d’un physique d’Apollon, Archie Kalepa est né pour
conduire sa communauté. Il dirige le corps
de maîtres nageurs de Maui depuis dix ans
et patrouille les plages depuis près de 30
ans durant lesquels il a sauvé 15 personnes
pendant un ouragan grâce à une technique
de sauvetage en mer qu’il a créée. Pourtant,
il semble que ses plus grandes prouesses
l’aient obligé à se mettre lui-même en
danger.
Les jouets dans le garage d’Archie en
disent long sur son tempérament de cassecou : motos hors route éraflées, harpons
et planches pour périls de toutes sortes.
« Un gars de la NASA me fait des ailerons »,
avance-t-il fièrement en montrant son hydroptère. Il fait du surf à Jaws depuis 13 ans
et fait régulièrement de grandes sorties avec
Buzzy Kerbox, pionnier du tow-in.
« C’est comme un mariage; c’est une
question de confiance, de respect et de
soutien », explique-t-il. « Buzzy et moi, nous
ne nous parlons pas là-bas, parce que nous
savons ce que l’autre fera. »
A four-star general in the ranks of watermen, Dave Kalama is among the exclusive
brotherhood that invented tow-in surfing.
Between bouts against Jaws (a huge reef
break off Maui’s north coast) with his legendary tow-in partner, Laird Hamilton, he
masters stand-up paddling (on epic solo
missions between islands), bonds with his
three kids and pours time into charity.
Kalama and Hamilton biked and paddled
the length of the archipelago state—750
kms in seven days—for autism in 2006, and,
in 2008, they launched Pipeline to a Cure,
an annual cystic fibrosis benefit (pipelinetoacure.com). His father and grandfather
were also famous watermen, and Kalama’s
documented dedication has been credited
with reinvigorating modern surf classics like
Step Into Liquid and Riding Giants.
—————
Général à quatre étoiles dans le monde
des amateurs des sports aquatiques, Dave
Kalama fait partie de la confrérie exclusive
de ceux qui inventèrent le tow-in surfing.
Entre ses combats à Jaws (récif près de la
côte nord de Maui) avec son légendaire
partenaire de tow-in, Laird Hamilton, il
maîtrise le stand-up paddling (en missions
épiques solos entre les îles), passe du temps
avec ses trois enfants et donne des tonnes
de temps aux bonnes œuvres.
Lui et Hamilton parcoururent la longueur de l’État archipel en vélo et en
pagaie, soit 750 kilomètres en sept jours
au bénéfice de l’autisme en octobre 2006.
En 2008, ils lancèrent Pipeline to a Cure,
événement bénéfice annuel pour la fibrose
kystique (pipelinetoacure.com). Le père
et le grand-père Kalama étaient aussi de
célèbres amateurs des sports aquatiques et
c’est la persévérance du fils qui souffla une
nouvelle vie dans les films documentaires
classiques du surf moderne comme Step
Into Liquid et Riding Giants.
“Once you step in Hawaii’s water, you’re in
over your head,” cautions Mark Cunningham. He’d know, having spent more than
two decades patrolling a stretch of Oahu’s
North Shore that’s famous for its mammoth
waves. Cunningham started lifeguarding in
California during “the summer that Jaws
came out, and nobody went swimming.”
On his watch, towers and technology
replaced rickety stands and whistles, and
prevention became as important as reaction. But Cunningham is really renowned—
and owns many trophies—because he
moves his sleek 6’4” frame through the tide
like a dolphin. “As a bodysurfer, there are
certainly spots in the water where you feel
like you’re part of the food chain,” he says.
“But I love that you’re totally embraced by
the water. It’s such an incredible sensual
experience, one you can’t ever get from
standing or riding on top of it.”
—————
« Dès que vous entrez dans la mer à Hawaï,
vous en avez jusque par-dessus la tête »,
avertit Mark. Il devrait le savoir puisqu’il patrouille la côte nord d’Oahu, célèbre pour
ses vagues géantes, depuis plus de 20 ans.
Mark devint maître nageur en Californie
l’été de la sortie du film Les dents de la mer
lorsque personne n’allait plus nager. » Il a
vu les tours et la technologie remplacer les
tribunes branlantes et les sifflets; prévenir
est devenu aussi important que réagir. Or,
Mark est vraiment célèbre, avec trophées
à l’appui, parce que dans l’eau, il bouge
son corps souple de 6 pi 4 po comme un
dauphin. « Les bodysurfeurs savent que
dans l’eau, on a parfois l’impression de faire
partie de la chaîne alimentaire », précise-til. « J’adore cette communion totale avec
l’eau. C’est une expérience sensuelle incroyable que l’on ne peut pas ressentir debout
ou en glissant au-dessus. »

JEFF BUSHMAN &
KYLE BERNHARDT

The founders of Country Feeling Surfboards
(countryfeelingsurfboards.com) started their
environmentally sensitive board-shaping
business with the intent to educate their
fibreglass-happy, polluting industry. They
design and build gorgeous retro boards—
finned cruisers, fishes, longboards and paddleboards—using soy- and sugar-based foams,
sun-catalyzed resins and inlays made with
hemp, organic cotton, bamboo and silk.
“We’re trying to promote an open-source
format, to show other shapers and manufacturers that it’s not that hard, it does make a
difference down the line and that difference
can come from just one layer of materials,”
says Bernhardt.
They couldn’t ask for a better laboratory.
“If it can hold up on the North Shore, it can
hold up anywhere,” says Bushman. “Better
yet, we can build something here and test it
that afternoon.”
—————
Les fondateurs de Country Feeling Surfboards (countryfeelingsurfboards.com)
lancèrent leur entreprise de fabrication de
planche respectueuse de l’environnement
dans l’esprit d’éduquer leur industrie polluante et axée sur la fibre de verre. Ils conçoivent et fabriquent de superbes planches
rétros – avec ailerons, courtes et larges,
plates longues et larges au nez arrondi et
planches à ramer – faites en mousse à base
de soya et sucre, de résines catalysées au
soleil avec âme de chanvre, coton, bambou
et soie organique.
« Nous essayons d’encourager les sources
ouvertes pour montrer aux autres fabricants
que ce n’est pas si difficile, et que cela fait
une différence en fin de compte; parfois il
suffit de changer le matériau d’une seule
couche », explique Kyle.
On ne pourrait espérer meilleur laboratoire. « Si nos planches tiennent sur la côte
nord, elles tiennent partout », précise Jeff.
« De plus, nous pouvons fabriquer quelque
chose et en faire l’essai le même jour. »
SIG ZANE
TATIANA HOWARD
For 15 years, Sig Zane, a social pillar and
spirited artist, has sold his handcrafted shirts,
dresses, bags and other garments out of his
sleek boutique in Hilo (sigzane.com). His signature style explores heritage, with designs
inspired by ancestral plants, literature and
symbolism, and defies kitsch.
In 2007, Zane started creating longboard
graphics for shaper Jeff Hunt. One design
echoes Polynesia with leaf patterns from a
breadfruit tree called ulu, which is traditionally used to make boards, drums and canoes.
“Ulu means, ‘to grow, or to inspire.’ So that
is a perfect symbol; a perfect metaphor,”
Zane explains, adding that ulu trees are given
to Hawaiians on their first birthday. “It’s an
important image for us. On a surfboard,
on hula costumes, on things that are very
important, we want to embellish them. You
want all that positiveness.”
—————
Depuis 15 ans, Sig Zane, pilier de la société et artiste plein d’entrain, vend ses
chemises, robes, sacs et autres vêtements
faits à la main dans sa boutique soignée à
Hilo (sigzane.com). Son style se caractérise
par le patrimoine avec motifs inspirés par
les plantes, la littérature et le symbolisme
ancestraux et défie le kitsch.
En 2007, Sig commença à dessiner des
planches longues pour Jeff Hunt; un modèle
polynésien au motif de feuilles du fruit de
l’arbre à pain appelé ulu, dont on se sert
traditionnellement pour faire les planches,
les tambours et les canoës. « Ulu signifie
‘grandir ou inspirer’. Le symbole est parfait, la
métaphore parfaite », explique Sig en ajoutant que l’on donne un arbre ulu en cadeau
pour célébrer le premier anniversaire d’un
Hawaïen. « C’est une image importante pour
nous. Nous voulons embellir les articles auxquels nous tenons, notre planche, costume
Hula et autres. Nous recherchons tout ce qui
est positif. »
Imagine a beach peppered by fit, sun-kissed
ladies in matching dress: some surfing, some
towed by kites and sails, all floating in unison
like ocean sirens. It’s not a Sports Illustrated
shoot; this is what Hawaii’s newest women’s
movement looks like. In 2007, Tatiana Howard and Juliana Shelef launched The Butterfly
Effect (betheeffect.com), a series of celebratory events—part demonstration, part community-building, part beach party—created
for and by water sport-loving women. It
started with 15 participants on Maui’s North
Shore; last year’s gathering attracted more
than 100, and affiliated events have take
place in Brazil, New Zealand, Europe, Dominican Republic, Tahiti, Israel and Oregon.
“It pushes the girls in a fun, challenging way, where they’re not being judged.
It’s just fun and builds community,” says
Howard. “It’s backwards here; everything’s
competitive. Life’s too short to be unhappy
with yourself.”
—————
Imaginez une plage truffée de jolies dames
bronzées portant toutes la même robe,
certaines faisant du surf, d’autres tirées
par des cerfs-volants et des voiles, toutes
flottant à l’unisson comme des sirènes. Ce
n’est pas une photo de Sports Illustrated;
mais le nouveau mouvement pour femmes
de Hawaï. En 2007, Tatiana Howard et
Juliana Shelef lancèrent The Butterfly Effect
(betheeffect.com), série de célébrations, en
partie manifestation, en partie développement de la conscience communautaire et en
partie fête de plage, créée par et pour des
amatrices de sports aquatiques. Au début,
il y avait 15 participantes sur la côte nord
de Maui; l’an dernier l’événement en attira
plus de 100, et des événements affiliés se
déroulèrent au Brésil, en Nouvelle-Zélande,
en Europe, en République dominicaine, à
Tahiti, en Israël et en Oregon.
« C’est une manière amusante et stimulante d’encourager les filles sans qu’elles
soient jugées. C’est agréable et c’est bon
pour l’esprit communautaire », explique
Tatiana. « Tout est à l’envers ici. Tout est
compétitif. La vie est trop courte pour ne
pas être satisfait de soi. »

MARK MARBLE
BETTY DEPOLITO
On the first Saturday of each month for
more than three years, AccesSurf has
organized a Day at the Beach on a small,
secluded bay owned by a military base
on Oahu’s southwestern edge. Mark
Marble founded this non-profit group
(accessurf.org)—and kicked off these
empowering events—with Richard Julian
as a sort of outdoor, in-water therapy
for people with cognitive or physical
disabilities, helping them to surf, kayak,
snorkel or simply float in the ocean
using adaptive equipment. AccesSurf
has amassed more than 900 volunteers
and assists hundreds of families with
disabled loved ones.
Having worked as a recreational
therapist for 25 years, Marble has undoubtedly found his calling. “Just being
able to provide access to the water by
assembling the right people, the right
equipment and all the support they
need to get them into the water, it’s
huge!” he says.
—————
Le premier samedi du mois depuis plus
de trois ans, AccesSurf organise une
journée à la plage dans une petite baie
isolée appartenant à une base militaire
sur l’extrémité sud-ouest d’Oahu. Mark
Marble fonda ce groupe sans but lucratif
(accessurf.org) et, avec Richard Julian,
démarra ces événements comme une
sorte de thérapie aquatique en plein air
pour aider les personnes atteintes de
déficience cognitive ou physique à faire
du surf, du kayak, de la plongée avec
tuba ou simplement flotter dans l’eau
avec un équipement adapté. AccesSurf compte plus de 900 bénévoles et
aide des centaines de familles ayant un
proche handicapé. Ludothérapeute pendant 25 ans, il ne fait aucun doute que
Mark a trouvé sa vocation. « Le simple
fait de les amener dans l’eau en rassemblant les bonnes personnes, le bon
équipement et tout le soutien nécessaire est énorme! » s’exclame-t-il.
“Banzai” Betty Depolito left California
for Oahu in 1977 to surf, took third in a
contest and never returned to the mainland. From the 1990s on, you’d be hard
pressed to find anyone, anywhere, so
committed to celebrating the planet’s
wave-chasing females. “I don’t like it
when people compare women’s surfing
to men’s,” says Depolito. “We deserve
an avenue to push our own limits.”
Back in the day, beach jocks would
tell her to “go home and bake cookies,”
or “you’re ruining the family structure.”
Her response? Keep charging Pipeline
and organize surfing and body-boarding
contests purely for women and promote their success during her 12-year
career in news broadcasting. Her annual
Pipeline Tidal 9 (pipegirls.com) contest
even uses second-hand trophies, handpainted banners, organic Tees and raises
money for the Girl Scouts of Hawaii.
—————
« Banzai » Betty Depolito quitta la
Californie pour surfer à Oahu en 1977
; elle se classa troisième dans une
compétition et ne revint plus jamais sur
le continent. Depuis les années 1990,
il est impossible de trouver quelqu’un
sur la planète d’aussi engagé pour les
amatrices de vagues. «Je n’aime pas que
l’on compare les femmes aux hommes aquaplanchistes », dit-elle. « Nous
méritons une voie où nous pouvons
dépasser nos propres limites. » À cette
époque, les sportifs mâles lui disaient
de « rentrer à la maison faire cuire des
biscuits » où qu’elle « ruinait la structure
familiale ». Sa réaction? Continuer à
attaquer les « pipelines » (rouleaux cylindriques) à organiser des compétitions
de surf et de bodysurf pour les femmes
et à encourager leurs succès pendant les
12 ans de sa carrière au journal télévisé.
Pour sa compétition annuelle Pipeline
Tidal 9 (pipegirls.com) elle utilise même
des trophées d’occasion, des bannières
peintes à la main et des t-shirts organiques et fait une levée de fonds pour
les Guides de Hawaï.

Prairie Original
|
Vue originale des Prairies
“The photo was taken just south of Regina. I took
the shot because I think it represents the diversity of
landscapes and scenery that make up Saskatchewan;
it’s not all flat, nor is it all wheat fields. And who can
resist a field of sunflowers that stretches as far as the
eye can see, set against a classic Prairie sky?”
60
« J’ai pris cette photo, juste au sud de Regina, parce
que pour moi elle représente la diversité des paysages et des décors naturels de la Saskatchewan; le paysage n’est pas plat partout et il n’y a pas de champs
de blé partout. Et puis, comment peut-on résister à
un champ de tournesols s’étendant jusqu’à l’horizon
sous le ciel bleu des Prairies? »

STORY BY ERIC RUMBLE
ARIZONA
Dos Cabezas Winery’s Pronghorn
vineyards thrive in Arizona’s
Sonoita wine region.
Desert Cornucopia
THE SANTA CRUZ Valley is a broad, sunmottled plain hemmed in by rust-hued
mountains, stretching from Tucson,
Arizona, down to the Mexican border
city of Nogales. Saguaro cacti frame this
landscape like tall, ragged aliens, their
cockeyed arms signalling victory over
the unforgiving landscape, seemingly
imploring you to rethink what you expect to find in the desert.
This valley is a primordial food-trading
corridor, and perhaps the country’s oldest
continually cultivated area. The climate
and soil mirror what you’ll find in the
Mediterranean—minus the sea.
Tohono O’odham tribal legends
speak of tepary beans, one of the most
drought-tolerant in the world. Prickly
pear, buckhorn cholla and especially
saguaro cacti all produce prized fruits.
Syrup from roasted agave pits trumps any
sugar—real or artificial. The long pods
from bountiful mesquite trees are ground
into flour that tastes bittersweet.
And while indigenous staples remain,
there’s a culinary ingenuity surrounding
Tucson that is bent on accentuating and
developing local, sustainable flavours.
Tasting that passion begins with the innovators on the next page.

Tuscon’s 100-mile diet
Maynards Market & Kitchen
400 N. Toole Ave., Tucson; 520-545-0577; maynardsmarkettucson.com
Think of it as a small boutique version of a Whole Foods Market, but for locavores and with an intimate dining room in
the back that uses the shelf stock to bolster its delectable meals. Housed in Tucson’s recently restored historic depot,
the market carries regional raw materials and refined products galore: honey, pecans, pistachios, organic beef, tamales,
mesquite waffle mix, bean soups, salsas and sauces—even soaps, herbal rubs and salves. There’s also a fine beer and
wine selection, a coffee bar (brewing Tucson-roasted Caffe Luce beans), a takeout menu and a communal lunch table.
Digging into the kitchen’s magnificent menu is a whole other story, but with an infectiously happy ending.
Harvest Restaurant
10355 N. La Canada Dr., Tucson; 520-731-1100; harvest.marketrg.com
The concept is all in the name. Sourcing locally whenever possible, executive chef Colin King crafts gorgeous dishes
using seasonal ingredients, matched against a wine list that emphasizes big, bold styles in winter and softer whites
and reds in summer. One menu mainstay is an appetizer of pillowy, perfectly browned empanadas stuffed with
grass-fed, dry aged beef from a nearby farm, black mission figs and green olive chimichurri sauce ($9). Most
entrees are meat-driven (think fall-off-the-bone pork ribs slathered in organic prickly pear mole), and the lunch
menu features artful soups, salads and sandwiches ($8 – $15).

Sonoita Wine Region
sonoitawineries.com; canelohillswinery.com; elginwines.com; sonoitavineyards.com
Established with traditional grapes like cabernet and colombard, Arizona’s first and only wine appellation
is coming of age after a quarter century. The red soil and elevated, sprawling grasslands an hour southeast
of Tucson now grow syrah, merlot, sangiovese, tempranillo, chardonnay and sauvignon blanc, not to mention heirloom holdovers planted by Spanish missionaries. This ain’t no novelty act either: the full-bodied,
fruit-forward wines created here have won awards and high accolades (including being served at President
George Bush Sr.’s inauguration dinner), led by Canelo Hills Vineyard and Winery, Village of Elgin Winery, Dos
Cabezas Winery, and the region’s pioneer, Sonoita Vineyards.
Desert Rain Café
Main Street, Sells; 520-383-4918; desertraincafe.com
Opened last spring on the Tohono O’odham reservation an hour’s drive southwest of Tucson, this humble
kitchen, counter and patio aims to make both a cultural and a social statement. Not only do the breakfast and
lunch options rely on traditional ingredients (including home-grown corn and squash), they offer vital, affordable
alternatives to the processed-food diet that has spawned a diabetes epidemic in North America’s aboriginal communities. Desert Rain’s version of a value meal might be white and green chili (white tepary beans, chicken, tomato
and avocado), with corn bread and agave-sweetened lemonade for less than $10.
Queen Creek Olive Mill
25062 S. Meridian Rd., Queen Creek; 480-888-9290; queencreekolivemill.com
Falling just within range of Tucson’s 100-mile diet, this family-owned working farm has made a name for itself by extolling sustainability and offering customers the opportunity to escape from “pre-packaged, cellophane city life.” For a
decade it’s been crafting high-quality, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil from a drip-irrigated, pesticide-free crop, and
daily facility tours delve deep into the significance of varietal character, fruit maturity, oleic acid content and proper
harvesting and processing technique. The only olive producer in the state, Queen Creek now grows 16 varieties and sells
a range of stuffed olives, tapenades and flavoured oils, including a Serrano chili-infused barn-burner.
6
The food from this Sonoran desert farm, about a half hour west of Tucson, could help heal your body in
gradual, spreadable doses. Beyond producing a bevy of jams, jellies and syrups with organic pesticide-free
produce (peppers, peaches, plums, pomegranates, pears, papayas, pineapples and just about every berry
under the sun), they specialize in making jellies, syrups, rubs and barbecue sauces with locally harvested cacti
fruit. They champion mesquite as a solid source of calcium, iron and zinc that also helps control blood sugar.
And like an edible amulet, prickly pear nectar is alleged to combat diabetes, obesity, gastrointestinal issues,
skin problems, viral infections and—in the short term—hangovers. To get your hands on these goods,
check out the Tucson Farmer’s Market every Saturday.

Dominican Republic
Golf Republic
The Dominican Republic is defending its crown as the Caribbean’s
golf heart. Lucky for them, the credit crunch doesn’t speak Spanish
There’s no shortage of white sand
and azure-blue water in the Caribbean to
ease the sting of a Canadian winter. But
if the colour spectrum you’re craving also
includes the kelly greens of some of the
world’s most challenging and dynamic
golf courses, one island nation is without
equal.
The Dominican Republic boasts more
than 30 layouts, a number that seems
to be constantly on the rise, and that
includes some of the finest coastal golf
real estate this side of Pebble Beach.
There’s the classic seaside bite of
Teeth of the Dog (US$160; casadecampo.
com.do), a Pete Dye triumph that first
opened in 1971, was remodelled in
2006 and is long billed as not only the
Caribbean’s greatest course, but one of
the finest golf experiences in the world,
thanks to its spectacular oceanside vistas
and fearsome Dye-style bunkers. It’s the
centrepiece course at the sprawling and
well-appointed Casa de Campo resort,
a 7,000-acre complex on the island’s
southeast coast just on the outskirts
of La Romana, where, last month, a
US$20-million facelift was unveiled.
The resort, now home to Dye and his
wife Alice, has added 80 new high-tech
rooms and suites, all with flat-screen
TVs and iPod hookups, along with a
redesigned main lobby, new restaurant,
lounge, fitness centre, library, boutique,
and pool area.
Not far away, the Teeth’s sister course,
Dye Fore (US$160), dances along
the cliff edge some 300 feet above
the spectacular Chavon River valley,
which served as the backdrop for those
spectacular river scenes in Francis Ford
Coppola's Apocalypse Now.
On the northeastern edge of the island
in Punta Cana lies the tough-as-nails
Roco Ki Golf Club (US$200; rocoki.com),
an unforgiving Nick Faldo design with
two oceanside closers: the clifftop par-3
17th hole, which demands a precise tee
shot to a tiny outcrop of volcanic rock,
and the fearsome 508-yard, par-5 18th,
where fierce trade winds and the pounding surf conspire to make par a remarkable score.
The crown jewel of the D.R.’s northeastern coast, however, is the enormous
Cap Cana resort complex (US$290;
capcana.com)—the impressive leader in
The Roco Ki Golf Club's daunting 17th hole
overlooks the northeastern cliffs of the island.
amenity and course expansion in the
country, creditors be damned. The firstever Jack Nicklaus-inspired hotel, the
Golden Bear Lodge & Spa, opened its
doors in November, perched on a bluff
overlooking the new Las Iguanas layout,
a parkland-style Nicklaus design that
also debuted last year. The resort’s centrepiece layout, the Punta Espada Golf
Club (US$375 November through May)
is a verdant, breathtaking par-72 course
that’s home to the Champions Tour’s Cap
Cana Championship in March.
Easily the best of the three layouts,
the playable Punta Espada features the
generous fairways and subtle greens for
which Nicklaus designs are known
for. But the ever-present trade winds and
water hazards—eight of Punta Espada’s
18 holes skirt the ocean—ensure the
course, a brutal 7,400 yards from the
back tees, is no slouch.
THE D.R. HOSTS THE PROS
When your tournament is at a place like
Punta Espada, attracting a stellar field is no

CANCUN
HOTELS
Royal Treatment
SPLURGE
The Royal in Cancun
Blvd. Kukulcan Km 11.5, Hotel Zone | 800-760-0944
realresorts.com | from US$474
CancUn’s Hotel Zone is clustered with seaside lodgings bearing regal
titles inspired by the sandbar’s obscure ancient Maya fishing port, El Rey (“The
King”). But it’s the Royal in Cancun—the flagship in Real Resorts’ fleet of
luxury properties, as well as its newest and grandest—that reigns supreme.
The adults-only, all-inclusive, five-star resort and convention centre recently
expanded to 288 suites, all of them boasting spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea and a choice parcel of a white-sand beach. The resort also features
the area’s only beachfront swim-up suites and ocean-view full-service spa.
Integrated into the turquoise tranquility is an epic infinity pool surrounded
by canopied shade beds, chaise lounge chairs and private cabanas. Overlooking it all is a gazebo frequented by wedding parties fresh from nuptials at a
new glass-enclosed oceanfront chapel.
Guests can play golf, work out and hit the rooftop tennis court, but most stay
poolside, lolling on ergonomic foam mattresses or mooring at the swim-up bar.
In the thick of this playground is an alfresco restaurant, where seductively plated
à la carte dishes rival the epicurean works of art at the hotel’s five other eateries.
The Royal could milk its imperial motif, but tacky pageantry is banished
in favour of classic, contemporary refinement and appreciation for its crown
jewel—the sea.
BEST VALUE At almost half the price of the swim-up suites, the upper-level Royal
Junior Ocean View (RJO) suites are similarly decadent and boast magnificent views.
These 653-sq.-ft. rooms also contain a terrace, double Jacuzzi and expansive bathroom.
SAVE
El Rey del Caribe
72
CancUn’s preeminent green hotel is a retreat from the downtown’s
concrete and glass just outside its wrought-iron gates. Frugal, eco-friendly guests bask in the holistic sentiment and sustainable ingenuity at work:
rooftop solar panels heat water that’s stored in thermal insulation tanks,
biodegradable soaps facilitate filtration and reuse of laundry water for a
vegetable and herb garden, and pool water is used for toilets. Naturally,
recycling facilities abound.
The cheerful proprietors built the family-run B&B in 1983, arranging
the colonial Mexican design around a courtyard enveloped in native flora.
Fruit-bearing guaya, mango and banana trees dovetail into a canopy of
sapote, mahogany, cedar and palms, where talkative toucans rest on their
migratory route. All 31 rooms—whitewashed with splashes of marigold
and indigo—open to the lush vegetation with bromeliads and orchids, a
gurgling 12-foot rainwater fountain, and bijou pool area.
Guilt-free enjoyment continues in the rooms, outfitted with aromatic
cedar furniture, tropical hardwood floors, cable TV, phone and wi-fi.
Some even have composting toilets. Watch for other El Rey locations in
Playa del Carmen and Chichen Itza opening later this year.
BEST VALUE Breakfast at the “shoes-off” palapa café is included and most of
the rooms have kitchenettes, so self-sufficient travellers can prep their own
meals (and bevvies). All rooms cost the same, so snag the second-level units for
the best views of the courtyard and easy access to a serene rooftop retreat.
