Just not for Mason Ho.<\/p>\n<p>Mason Ho has more fun than anyone. You can see it in the way he surfs and you can see it in the way he talks. Actually, you will see it in the way he surfs and the way he talks in the first episode of Red Bull\u2019s &#8220;Made In Hawaii&#8221; short film series. Filmed on location on Oahu\u2019s North Shore, &#8220;Made In Hawaii&#8221; paints a portrait of one of the cultural centers in the surf world. Each episode is a vignette &#8212; part of a bigger, three-part short film series highlighting Hawaii, Australia and, later, Europe.
