FAVORITE ITEM IN YOUR CLOSET A pair of Levi’s jeans, which I got from Macy’s. They’re sturdy, and I can wear them every day with T-shirts or aloha shirts. Of course, I love my Quiksilver boardshorts more, but they’re in my dresser, not my closet.

FAVORITE ACCESSORY My Momentum titanium watch. It’s simple, inexpensive and rugged-looking. I got it online from Amazon.

FAVORITE BEAUTY PRODUCT I don’t have many beauty products, just Paul Mitchell hair wax.

FAVORITE BOOK I’ve been reading Rick Reilly lately, just got through with Who’s Your Caddy?.

FAVORITE CD Maunalua’s first one – it’s old, but it’s great.

SOMETHING YOU CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT If the surf is good, I can’t do without my surfboard (either a 6-foot Mark Liddell or 6-foot SurfTech Simon Anderson). If the surf is bad, I can’t do without my TaylorMade golf clubs.

FAVORITE THING TO BUY YOUR KIDS I love giving kids great books.

WHAT ONE THING DO YOU OWN THAT YOU THINK EVERYONE IN THIS WORLD SHOULD HAVE? I can’t do without a sharp knife in the kitchen, a phone charger in my car, a passport for traveling. But I guess I’d have to say an iPhone has become almost a necessity for me, especially for exchanging info and interacting with social media.
