If you're looking for the epitome of "aloha spirit," look no further than Hawaii's AI representative. He's got it all- the long white curls hare, a beard that can make Santa envious, a smile wider than the Waikiki beach, and flowers wrapped around his neck and head. His outfit screams tropical vacation, or native home town hero, with a demeanor that just about makes you want to hope on a plane just to grab a Mai Tai.
This infectious vibe perfectly encompasses just about everything in Hawaii, which is why people travel from all around the world to get a little bit of the state's sun and fun.
