So flipping thru the channels and I see a kiter and then I realize hey I know that guy...he's one the seattle crew I think. Pretty cool it was on HGTV on a show called Hawaii Life

Quote:
Russ and Lauren Gibbs currently live in rainy Washington state but have been in love with Maui ever since they were married there. Realtor Kevin Spaise will help their dreams come true, showing them three amazing one-of-a-kind Maui properties. Russ is a kitesurfer looking for a home next to some great windy spots. With their standards set high, the Gibbs hope to find a property that matches their Hawaiian dreams.

Saw that one too. I had met Russ down at SPI years ago and ran into him in Hood River a few times. I believe he was living somewhere north of Seattle before moving to Paradise.

Yeah saw that too. That show is a typical reality TV scam, you have to have already purchased a home BEFORE you can go on there and "find" your dream home.

YA YA- SOMETIMES THEY DO DO A BACK STORY ON PEOPLE THAT HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT
A HOME- BUT IN THIS CASE WE HAD NOT- THE SHOW TURNED OUT TO BE THE BIGGEST
PREMIER IN HGTV HISTORY- AND WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT ARE EPISODE WAS ONE OF THE MOST VIEWED - AND IT IS STILL BEING RERUN - SO CATCH IT IF YOU HAVN'T AND LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK !

ALSO WE ARE CURRENTLY TALKING WITH THE PRODUCERS OF THE SHOW ABOUT
A SHOW BASED ON ARE BIG PROJECT WE ARE DOING(MAUI WIND DANCER B-N-B) - THE 2 PROPERTIES WE HAVE BOUGHT HAVE A TOTAL OF 6 BUILDINGS - AND THEY ARE A MESS BUT IT IS GOING TO BE AMAZING WHEN DONE- AND THEN THEY WERE ALSO EXCITED ABOUT THE PROSPECT OF
ROLLING IT INTO A REALITY SHOW ABOUT THE B-N-B

AS WE ALL KNOW WE WILL HAVE SOME REAL CHARACTERS TO AD A LOT OF FLAVER COMING FROM ALL OVER THE GLOBE-

SO GIVE US FEED BACK THAT WE CAN PASS ON TO THE PRODUCERS IF IT IS SOMETHING YOU WOULD ENJOY SEEING, IT WILL BE HELPFUL IN GETTING THE SHOW LAUNCHED

AND WE ARE PLANNING ON HAVING THE HOOD RIVER -WIND DANCER B-N B OPERATING WITHIN 2 YEARS, SO IT MAY BRING THE SHOW THERE IF IT HAPPENS,

SO PLEASE GIVE US SOME GOOD SHOUTS TO SPREAD THE WORD

PS - I LIVE IN BEND- THE HOOD AND VANCOUVER WA, BUT NEVER NORTH
