Mid-June 2000 swell. 4'-6' ft w/offshore winds.

The SEASIDE HOTEL is our venue of choice while on the Valley Isle of Maui. Its central location serves as the starting point for our excursions. Located near shopping and dining, the islands major shopping mall "KAAHUMANU CENTER", is well within walking distance. You'll find the Seaside Hotel to be very quaint, comfortable and economical. Sitting astride of Kahului Harbor, its open air restaurant, lanai's, lobby, courtyard and check-in counter only serve to validate its "HAWAIIAN FLAVOR" atmosphere. Check out the hawaiian artifacts in the hotel lobby. For a better perspective you can find the Seaside Hotel at www.sand-seaside.com.

On the island of Oahu we will reside at the Pagoda Hotel. A longtime local favorite, the Pagoda sits less than a mile from some of the islands best summer time surf. World renown ALA MOANA BOWLS and lesser known spots like CANOE'S, QUEEN'S, NO# THREES, KAISERS, TENNIS COURTS, BIG RIGHTS and POINT PANIC are at your beckoning. The Pagoda houses a wonderful walk through garden that is excellent for picture taking.

Semi-secret spot. We seem to get this place all alone everytime.. Fun lefthand break.

The garden surrounds a Japanese theme restaurant that features an excellent ala carte and buffet menu. Be amazed to find both fresh as well as salt water fish swimming in the same pond with some of the trevalle (ULUA's) at 80 lbs plus. The night life of WAIKIKI sits just minutes from its location and commutes to the north, west or east shores are less than an hour away. You may access the Pagoda Hotel at www.pagodahotel.com.

We will be flying interisland on either Hawaiian Airlines (www.hawaiianair.com) or Aloha Airlines (www.alohaair.com). Approximate travel time is twenty (20) minutes. Please understand that only those with confirmed paid reservations will be allowed to take the tour. I would suggest that if you are continuing on with your stay in the islands it would be best to book your other reservations starting Thursday evening (the last day of the tour). If you’d like to take advantage of our rates and continue on at the Pagoda or Seaside let us know in advance and well book it for you. If not we'll be glad to drop you off at your new accommodations or rental vehicle location at the completion of our excursion.

North Swell. Surf increased the next day. Tony and I surfed Honolua Bay in the 3'-5' ft range

Our field hrs are 7:00am - 4:00pm. Basically there are no time restraints except for Tues/Thurs when we need to fly out. It’s best to DAWN PATROL to maximize your water time. During the summer time, based on tides, there are spots that are going-off as early as 5:00am and absolutely void of humanity. A three to four hour session followed by a relaxing lunch will leave us more than enough time for either a second session, some sightseeing, snorkeling or just lazing in the sun. This is your tour, so you make the call. We will present a projected agenda but the ultimate decision rests with you or your group. Winter time will put our starting time up by a couple of hours. We can be in the water as early as 7:00am.
