natgeotravel: Ha'a Keaulana,
daughter of Brian Keaulana and the grand daughter of legendary Buffalo
Keaulana carries a 50 pound boulder while running across the sea floor
to train for surfing. Her father teaches surfers that they should train
for a four wave hold down in case of a wipeout in big surf. At 13 second
intervals between waves, that means about a minute of being held down.
It is one thing to hold your breath in a swimming pool for a minute and
it something completely different to swim down 30 feet, pick up a huge
rock and then run as hard as you can for a minute. Thanks to her
lineage, community and training, Ha’a is a true water woman from Makaha.
Hawaiians have saltwater running through their veins and epitomize what
it means to be connected to the sea.

why is miles being middle to upper middle class so hard to comprehend? He never had to starve, his parents are happy to buy him art supplies, he never had to steal he never needed donations from the people of New York. Literally, Peter is canonically more broke than Miles.
