Artist Paints 101 Waves Across Globe | Honolulu News

Hilton Alves is chasing a wild ocean dream: painting 101 wave murals across the globe, and he’s already nailed 47—including a jaw-dropping 8x20-foot sunrise surfer piece in Japan for the Surf Jam Festival. No blueprints, no sketches—just vibes, community whispers, and pure spontaneity. Kids watching him paint? Pure fuel. Next stop? Maybe Australia, Portugal, or China—anywhere he can surf and spray. And he’s got one mural he can’t stop thinking about: his 2013 Kalihi giant, now a landmark he’s determined to restore. His mission? To turn every wall into a tide, connecting hearts to the sea wherever he goes. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
