Embracing the Ocean Lifestyle

Ayako Ancheta Bodyboarding

Ayako Ancheta Paddling

Ayako isn’t just passionate about helping clients find their dream Hawaii home – she’s living it herself! When she’s not working tirelessly for her clients, you’ll find her immersed in the vibrant ocean culture that defines the islands.

Ayako is an active paddler with world renown Outrigger Canoe Club, training alongside their Open Women’s crew that competes in the Na Wahine O Ke Kai Outrigger Canoe World Championship race. This annual 41-mile paddling challenge across the grueling Ka’iwi Channel from Molokai to Oahu tests both physical and mental strength and endurance, perfectly reflecting Ayako’s dedication and drive in all that she does. On her days off, Ayako often jumps on her jet ski, venturing out to search for dolphins and whales enjoying the incredible feeling of swimming alongside these playful creatures. Early mornings often see Ayako longboarding the waves in front of her Waikiki home, while afternoons might find her jogging or exploring Kapiolani Park. Winter brings a change of scenery, as Ayako heads to the North Shore of Oahu to tackle the legendary Banzai Pipeline surf spot on her trusty bodyboard.

Honolulu-based real estate developer MW Group presented a proposal to the University of Hawaii Board of Regents on Thursday for a new Plaza Assisted Living facility. The project would be situated near Diamond Head and Kapiolani Community College along Makapuu Avenue, aiming to serve the growing senior population in the area.

The Board of Regents expressed enthusiasm for the project’s potential to enhance senior living options but requested further review by a committee. This due diligence ensures the project aligns perfectly with the University’s vision for the land.
