Yes, I totally love this person and service!…read more My car temperature was reading "hot" needed anti freeze and Ken happened to be in the parking lot of Autozone Salt Lake. He helped me out and taught me a few things: put antifreeze slowly and have your car running, turn on your A/C so that the antifreeze can circulate and gas the car a few times. He told me to keep the car running and the temperature of the car should go down. Phew! He checked it and the temperature went down! Such a blessing and very honest person! Besides working on boats, he also works on automobiles. Very hospitable, honest and truly a humble and kind person! He did not charge me, but truly a person who wants to help and spread blessings all around! Use his service for repairs! Very professional and his service is truly valuable!!!

I believe his name was Alex. He took the time to text me a parts diagram to make sure we were talking about the same part for the correct year motor. He indeed identified the correct part and advised me he had one in stock. unlike past experiences where the guy in the parts department would tell you bring in the old part so they can match it up. What a disservice and waste of time. I went in and Alex had the part waiting. Please pay this guy properly so you won't have to hire donkeys anymore...

I live here in Hawaiʻi and have been stung by Portuguese man-of-war plenty of times, so I'm…read moredefinitely familiar with what a sting feels like. Today's was a BAD one. I got hit around both wrists and my thighs, and the pain was honestly over a 10 -- it felt like I was on fire. Several years ago, I bought a Sting No More kit at Go Bananas and have carried it around with my ocean gear ever since. I'd never actually needed to use it until today. I used the spray and cream, and I couldn't believe the difference. The pain dropped from over a 10 to about a 3-4 very quickly, and in less than 45 minutes it was completely gone. Sting No More came out of jellyfish-sting research right here at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, which makes it even better. And the craziest part is that after carrying my kit around for several years, I'm pretty sure it was actually expired -- and it STILL worked amazingly well. If you live in Hawaiʻi or spend a lot of time in our ocean, I highly recommend picking up a kit and throwing it in your beach bag. Hopefully you'll carry it around for years and never need it. But after what happened today, I can tell you I'll never be without one again.

If you have a car (or rented a car), John at Go Bananas will help you strap kayaks you rent to your…read morecar. You can drive around the island and launch where you feel comfortable kayaking. John is most knowledgeable all things about kayaks, including where to kayak and how to be safe. Don't shy away from asking him to help you understand how to be safe and get to where you want to be. John at Go Bananas kayak rental strapped a long kayak with a skeg to my car. I drove off his parking lot, and arrived at the He'eia Kea Boat Harbor. On a windy and rainy day in November I rented a long kayak with a skeg, and John showed me how to strap it to the car I was driving. I drove to He'eia Kea Boat Harbor, and launched off the Kaneohe Canoe Club, towards where I thought the sunken sandbar at Kaneohe Bay would be found. For my entire trip inching forward in that direction I was alone in the foreboding ocean, or rather they bay. But from my low vantage points, it looked as if I were in the middle of the deep ocean with breaking waves under me and dark clouds above me. John told me to aim for Kapapa Island, and he was right. Because as far as I could tell from my kayak it was just dark water all around me, except for that tiny speck of an island. All other boats I saw and thought to be tourist boats anchored at the sandbar all turned out to be decoys - they were docked so closed to shore in retrospect. Many a times I thought I'd reached the sandbar only to find empty boats in dark and deep water. Many more times I thought of turning back - it could be frightening being out there alone, even if I was prepared with all available safety devices. But I kept going. Then I sensed a change in water color. Shortly the sun poked its head out of the cloud. And magic happened. The sea all around me turned turquoise as soon as sunrays touched them, revealing that I was mere inches above sand now. I soon found a lone stand-up paddler lying supine on his board, drinking beer. I also ran into a birthday party dinning around a table half-submerged in water. Then Captain Bruce's boat showed up, dumping lots of merrymakers onto the sandbar. Now that I know the place, I would have no issues coming back again and finding it, next time. In some of the videos you will find dark clouds raining on entire towns, while I filmed the shore from the sandbar. That gives you a sense of how far the sandbar is from shore.
