Aamion and Daize Goodwin’s radical digs in Hanalei, Kauai, can best be described as "Peter Pan" meets "Swiss Family Robinson."
The Goodwin family’s global nomadic surf lifestyle, brought to life in the film Given by Jess Bianchi, inspired many, showing parents that surf travel doesn’t have to end when kids enter the picture. Today their lives are just as inspiring. Between trips abroad, the family of five calls home a converted school bus and triple-decker tree house on the North Shore of Kauai. They’re pretty much living every surfer’s fantasy, including their own.

Who are you? Tell us a little about yourselves.
We are parents, business owners, and lovers of the Earth. Family comes first and surfing second. We are creators and builders of whatever we fall in love with; that has given us the sweetest life.

Where are you from? How long have you lived on Kauai?
Aamion: I have been living here on and off since before I was five, but this is more home than any other place. We’ve had this property for 13 years.
Daize: I moved here when I was 16 and fell completely in love with it. I knew I would end up here again one day.
