Photograph by @paulnicklen // Where in nature feeds your soul the most? For @haakeaulana, it is the ocean. Like many Hawaiians, the sea is part of their everyday life and they are some of the richest people on Earth in terms of their connection to nature, tradition and “Ohana” (family). The monofin is actually the most efficient way to swim underwater but requires a powerful core. #followme on @Paulnicklen to see more images of this beautiful culture.
