Kahu Kalehua’s second guest is Annie O’Connor Hughes of Umbrellas Hawaii.  Kui Gapero of Mamolii Productions brought some of the Hawaiian implements used in the hula to display along with Annie’s colorful umbrellas.

Originally from New York City, Annie has lived in Hawaii for 25 years.  As a surfer girl who spent many years in the sun, her inspiration for creating Umbrellas Hawaii came from her own personal experiences of having to deal with sun damage to her skin.  Her umbrellas of many colors and designs, are made from ultraviolet protective factor fabric, tested and certified to block out 97% of UV radiation.  These tropical sun umbrellas a great sun shield that are also water repellent – a perfect accessory for a bride getting married on the beach or for providing a “freshness zone” when taking wedding pictures in our beautiful and scenic venues. 

Also, the music you hear in the background of the interviews is being provided by Kupaoa – Mahalo!
