 Makapuu- one of the most beautiful places on earth, and one of the most consistent waves for bodyboarders.

10 am---Head East on Kalanianaole Hwy and go up the big hill near Koko Crater. At the top of the hill is the entrance to Hanauma Bay. You are too late- the parking lot is filled-you should have been here before 9 am!! The parking lot is closed and you must go back down the hill, park your car near Portlock or Hawaii Kai shopping center and walk up. It's worth it though.  Because you aren't a Hawaii resident you also must pay to enter and spend 15 minutes to see the movie so you don't damage the reefs. Walk down the hill to experience the full beauty of the Bay. Go swimming and see a few fish and ten thousand tourists from all over the world. Years ago they used to let you walk all the way around the left and right side of the bay-now they have closed that off. Spend a few bucks and take the trolley up the hill in style- let's get the hell out of here--it's time to leave!
 

Keep following the road east and the coastline turns into rough lava rock. There are several places to stop and check it out. Blowhole beach is easily one of the most beautiful beaches on this island. It is a little adventure too! Climb down the hill and go check out the Blowhole and all the coastline- really nice-kids love it.



Okay, enough of this tourist stuff- let's get down to business! Next stop- Sandy Beach. A wild assortment of tourists and locals. Some of the best showers on the island-not like those junk Waikiki showers. Big waves, small waves,- don't break your neck on the sand or get in anybody's way--because they all know how to surf good. Bodyboard, bodysurf, skimboard,or board surf the outer breaks- all kinds of stuff to do. Look for the white Kenu rescue bodyboard and rescue
 sled that is usually attached to the white Lifeguard truck. See my

Keep going around the coast, you might see some good unridden waves with nobody there near the traffic light that goes to
Hawaii Kai area. Keep going another mile or 2 and then go up the hill to Makapuu. Get to the top and then suddenly you see
it- one of the most beautiful sights in the world- Makapuu,  Rabbit Island, and the Waimanalo coast. Stop at the lookout and
take it all in.

 

Drive down the hill to the parking lot near the water. Go park your car in a good safe place and make sure you don't leave nothing valuable either showing or in the car-especially if you have a rental car. Grab your board and walk down the hill. The break on the left side is bigger and the boyz from Waimanalo have it wired- don't piss them off.  If you are up to it, surf there, if not go to your right where good waves are still to be found.

 

 

   

Saturday Jan. 15, 2011 8:30 am--Here's something you don't see everyday at Makapuu--- no waves, nobody on the beach, and nobody in the water-and it's Saturday!! The waves coming in to the left of this scene were actually very good-about 2-4 ft. It is very unusual to have the right side of the beach flat and the left side firing. Usually waves break all across the beach area.



Saturday Jan. 11, 2011 --These pictures were taken about noon, but earlier in the morning it was bigger and nicer. The cars in front are for the Lifeguards only--you have to park in the parking lots to the left. No surfboards allowed after 9am and before 5 pm.  If after 9am a surfer doesn't listen to the Lifeguard with the bullhorn telling him to come in--the Lifeguards will come out to get you!

 

Here's some action!! Check out the guy catching the inside wave near the rocks--that's going to be a sweet little tube ride.
How's the outside peak--you wish you were there!

 

Here's some of the Boyz jockeying for position and takeoff.
