Sponsor Shout-Out #1: GREEN FLASH COFFEE
TB: What's the purpose of your business/art?
GFC: To provide our community with a quality cafe, locally owned and operated with aloha.
TB: What inspires your work/product?
GFC: The fact that our loyal "regulars" come back day after day, to eat, to hang out, just to say hi.
TB: How does your community shape your vision?
GFC: They define us. Our greatest pride is being a member of this extended ohana.
TB: What are the three achievements you are most proud of?
GFC: 2007, 2008, 2009. Thanks to our friends, family & community, we have been open for almost 4 years now.
TB: How does surfing/the ocean affect your decisions in business?
GFC: Having grown up in Hawaii, we understand very well the impact our business has on our environment. We recycle every single thing we can, we use compostable products, and
eliminate as much waste as possible. And if I need Liam to repair something and there's surf, I know it'll just have to wait. Waves come first, so surfing DEFINITELY affects my
business!
TB: What's your definition of "tombomb?"
GFC: I have 2 definitions: 1st) Keli Stevenson. You are an inspiration and a fantastic example of what makes Kona such a great place to live and such a warm, wonderful
community to be a part of. You're doing great work Keli! 2nd) When I think of "Tombomb" I think of a smart, tough, ocean-minded female that doesn't conform to any stereotype and thinks out of the
box. She expresses her individuality unapologetically and inspires those around her to do the same. I hope my sons marry Tombomb girls ;)
