The new portable Bluetooth speakers from Turtlebox are HERE! They are LOUD, durable, and sound great! You won’t believe it… Read more
We’re so excited to carry the line of Turtlebox speakers. They are the best for outdoor living! Whether it’s surfing, camping, spending time by the pool, or on the boat, they are a must-have.
Today, meet Turtlebox ambassador, Matt Meola. He’s one cool dude!
As one of the best aerial surfers in the world, Maui native Matt Meola can easily be considered a jack-of-all-trades.
Growing up in Hawaii, he connected early on to the natural world around him, and while he makes his living on a surfboard, his abilities go far beyond the wave.
On flat days, Matt cruises the sea by boat, trolling or spear fishing for the myriad of species that live just off the coast of his home island. When the cooler is full, he heads to the hills of Maui, where harvesting of Axis deer is permitted year-round, giving Matt the chance to hone in on the spot & stalk those animals with his bow.
And when there’s not one square inch of his freezer left to store the spoils of his pursuits, you can find Matt at home. It’s there, he’ll be strumming on his guitar, hanging out with his pet deer “ Doenut” and tending to his ever-growing garden.

There’s nothing quite like the thrill of watching fireworks light up the night sky, except maybe doing it while you’re soaking in your hot tub or floating in your backyard pool!
This Fourth of July, your backyard oasis may be the best seat in the house for the show. Check out these six tips for creating an unforgettable fireworks experience from your hot tub or pool.
1. Pick the Right Viewing Spot
First, ensure your spa or pool has a clear line of sight to the sky where the fireworks will be displayed. If your backyard doesn’t have a direct view, don’t worry! Many people in central Arkansas host their own small displays or use ground fireworks, and you can still enjoy them up close.
If you’re within viewing distance of a public display, plan your evening around the show. Set up your spa or poolside setup an hour or so in advance so you can settle in and relax before the sky lights up.
#2: Create the Perfect Atmosphere
Turn your backyard into a celebration zone. Add waterproof LED lights to the pool for a soft glow or switch on the lights in your Hot Spring Spa to set a festive mood. Bring out some patriotic or seasonal décor and float a few themed pool inflatables.
Don’t forget the tunes! Put on a playlist that matches the mood, whether that’s upbeat party music or soft background melodies. Just be sure the music doesn’t drown out the fireworks. Let the “oohs” and “aahs” take center stage.
#3: Enjoy Refreshments Poolside
What’s a celebration without snacks and drinks? Prepare a tray of easy-to-eat finger foods and refreshing beverages to enjoy from the comfort of your spa or the edge of the pool. Think chilled fruit, popsicles, or a sparkling mocktail.
If you have guests joining you, set up a table nearby with extra refreshments and encourage everyone to bring their own favorite treats. Just remember: glass and pools don’t mix. Use shatterproof cups, bottles, and plates for everyone’s safety.
#4: Make It a Family-Friendly Affair
Watching fireworks from the water is fun for all ages. Set up some glow sticks, waterproof toys, or floating games for the kids to enjoy before the show starts. For little ones who might be sensitive to loud noises, consider ear protection or setting up a cozy viewing area nearby with blankets and snacks.
If you’re enjoying the hot tub with teens or adults, keep it cozy with plush towels and robes nearby for when the evening air cools off.
#5: Practice Smart Water Safety
Excitement can run high during fireworks, especially when guests are present, so it’s essential to prioritize safety.
Assign a designated water watcher if children are swimming. Limit alcohol intake if you’re soaking or swimming. And always make sure your spa or pool is properly lit so everyone can see where they’re going.
Use your spa’s jets for a gentle massage during the fireworks show. You’ll get both a visual and sensory treat at the same time!
#6: Relax and Take It All In
The best part of watching fireworks from your hot tub or pool? You’re fully immersed in comfort.
As the booms echo and the sky sparkles, you can lean back, relax, and soak it all in. Whether you’re spending the evening with loved ones or enjoying a quiet night to yourself, your spa or pool are a front-row seat to one of summer’s most magical moments.
