About the Book

Born of Two Oceans is the vibrant, engaging, and informative memoir of Manuel "Manny" Veincent, Jr., who in his ninth decade is still going strong. Raised in Hawaii during the Great Depression and World War II, Manny embodies the traditional Hawaiian values and lifestyle he grew up with. In this book, he shares colorful stories of his grandparents, family, and friends, and his own countless adventures in the Hawaiian Islands. After serving as a Marine in the Korean War, Manny returned to Hawaii to work for the airlines, fire and rescue, the State of Hawaii in its Nene Restoration Project, and as a rancher. But he is best known as a founder of the Kawaihae Canoe Club. He served as the club's president for more than forty years. Manny's life has seldom been dull. When he isn't being bucked off a horse he's trying to break, he's teaching people how to paddle in sync. He's had numerous encounters with sharks and lived to tell the tale. He's branded cattle, helped rescue people in the mountains, had a long and happy marriage, raised a daughter, and watched Hawaii change over nine decades. It is hard to imagine a more complete life, so filled with adventure, friendship, humor, and a giving spirit. Interspersed between the chapters written in Manny's own voice are testaments from friends, both old and new, who have been inspired and transformed through their relationships with him. In these pages, experience Hawaii like you have never known it. Discover a true pioneer spirit and feel the magic of aloha embodying every page. In Manny Veincent, you will discover a true original, and you will come away feeling blessed for the time you have spent with him.

About the Author :
KIM ANN CURTIN, a Brooklyn-born New Yorker, made the life-changing move to Hawai'i ten years ago-drawn by the island's spirit and her time paddling under the guidance of Manny Veincent. She is the author of Transforming Wall Street: A Conscious Path for a New Future and the founder of The Wall Street Coach, where she helps executives and traders end the cycle of self-sabotage. MANNY VEINCENT was born and raised in Hilo, Hawai'i, in the close-knit Hawaiian community of Keaukaha. A U.S. Marine Corps, veteran, retired firefighter, and lifelong cattle, rancher, he also served as a beloved coach and cultural anchor at Kawaihae Canoe Club for almost 50 years. Reflecting on his remarkable journey, Manny simply says, "What a ride!"

Review :
From mauka to makai, Uncle Manny Veincent's impact echoes through generations. Uncle Manny is a beloved living legend and a true embodiment of strength, kuleana, and aloha 'a¯ina. -Kolby Akamu Moser, Director, Hometown Legends One thing I like about Manny's style is he wants crews to be equal with no superstars. We all paddle together. If we lose, we lose together. If we win, we win together. -Genard Frazier, Paniolo It would be difficult to find a life more well-lived than that of Manny Veincent. As this book reveals, he is one of the true treasures of Hawaii. -Tyler R. Tichelaar, PhD Author of Narrow Lives My memories of Manny Veincent go back 50 years, they have evolved from a young paddler to an adult. My life has been enriched and enlightened by him. This book is a must-read - not only for paddlers, ranchers, and fishermen, but all types of athletes. Anyone who is interested in the enduring side of the human spirit and the cultural ties to their own ancestors will benefit from this book. -J.K. Spielman I would describe Uncle Manny as a legend, a true legend. I would recommend him to anybody. -Lenny Gacayan, Paniolo
