Alicia Ika is a Actor born on 8 october 1976
Alicia "Makohe" Ika (born October 8, 1976) is a native Rapa Nui actress, musician, surf instructor and tourist agent. She was born to a Rapa Nui mother and a Chilean father. Alicia received international fame, particularly in the climbing and surfing community, after headlining in documentary sports drama 180° South in 2010.
After having dedicated the earlier years of her adult life to wave surfing, her always present interest in music grew stronger. In 2003, in a time when she lived at Hawai'i, Makohe started singing professionally. Two years later, when she returned to Rapa Nui, she introduced a new sound to the Rapa Nui music culture with her Hawai'ian influences and partially falsett voice. Having inherited her mother's singing voice and being the first female artist of the island she quickly became an acknowledged artist.
Bringing outside influences to Easter Island, she brought the idea of teaching surf when she opened up the island's first surf school in 2005. She was then the only female surfer in the Easter Island waves, which at first caused controversy. After having had a strong presence in the local surfing community, several women later followed her example. Today, being a female surfer is socially accepted in the Easter Island surfing community.
Alicia Ika currently has two released CD's: Hokorua and Te 'Ua Te Tokerau. Hokorua is a mix between covers of traditional Rapa Nui music and her own songs, while Te 'Ua Te Tokerau solely consists of her own original songs.
In 2014, she appeared with family in House Hunters International on HGTV.

The film emulates the 1968 trip made by Yvon Chouinard and Doug Tompkins to Patagonia, but rather than by land, Jeff Johnson travels by sea from Mexico and south along the west coast of Chile. The film opens with original home movie footage as taken by Chouinard and Tompkins, and then continues with Johnson's own footage, in which he includes surfing, sailing and climbing as the film follows Johnson signing on with a small boat heading for Chile, his being delayed for several weeks on Easter Island, his meeting travel partner Makohe, and in his reaching Patagonia, Johnson meeting with Chouinard and Tompkins. The film concludes with his attempt to climb Cerro Corcovado (the Corcovado volcano), an attempt that was halted 200 feet from the summit out of concerns for safety.
