ABOUT CALVIN
Calvin Lai is a local, Island-born Hawaiian. Spearfishing since the age of 7, he has over 30 years of experience on the ocean—many of which include prestigious awards and recognitions. These include but are not limited to: 2-time United States national spearfishing champion, former world record holder for the Pacific Blue Marlin, and numerous state records. Calvin has appeared on numerous local TV shows for spearfishing and just recently finished with an upcoming Travel Channel episode. Stay tuned for more details.
As a young child, Calvin became introduced to the art and love of spearfishing by grandfather, Ceasar Rubio. Grandfather Rubio taught Calvin that knowledge of, respect, and love for the ocean and its environment are irreplaceable gifts that must be held in the highest regard.
Spearfishing is an art valued throughout the entire Lai family. Due to this, you'll often find his father, Calvin Lai Senior, a seasoned 40-year captain, accompanying Calvin on his water journeys. If you are fortunate enough, you may even get to meet next generation Eli Lai Junior, as he is also very experienced and occasionally joins in on the fun as well. If you're really lucky, you'll get to hang out with Conan the mighty bulldog too.
When not fishing or spending time with his family, Calvin Lai works as a full time professional firefighter in Kona, Hawaii.
