TV.com summary

Living Lahaina is a reality series produced by Jesse Ignjatovic for Music Television.^[1] The show, filmed over a three month period on location in Lahaina (on the island of Maui, Hawaii), focused on a group of twenty-something surf instructors and their father-figure-boss at the Royal Hawaiian Surf Academy.^[2] Living Lahaina also followed cast members throughout travels to Indonesia, California and Kauai.^[1]

Living Lahaina premiered on Tuesday, April 17, 2007 at 10:30 p.m. on MTV and was scheduled to run for eight episodes.^[3] However, only 3 episodes were shown on MTV.^[3]

Following the style of MTV's Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, The Hills and Maui Fever, Living Lahaina was shot in the format of a scripted television show (rather than in the style of a tradtional reality show or documentary).^[4] Cast members did not speak directly to the camera. Instead, the show made use of a Dukes of Hazzard style voice-over narrative periodically throughout each episode, to give background or sum up story-lines.^[4]
