Don't forget Leonard's Malasada, Libby's Manapua, Kim Chee, Yakiniku Camellia, I also like Harpo's pizza. That place next to McCully's Zippy's with the curry chicken katsu.
Thanks guys for replying. Definitely will try to check out all these spots when I get there. Can't wait!!!!

If you're surfing on the north shore, 2 tips/warnings that you should heed. Check with a lifeguard before going in on the winds and currents, especially if you haven't surfed at the spot before. 2nd, respect the "locals" and be careful not to "drop-in".Originally Posted by NOVAMAN
Remember reading about it in the surf mags back in the day. Hope I survive the pounding surf...thanks for chiming in!
Be safe!!! I'm sure your wife would appreciate it

i've been to Oahu, Maui and Big Island. If it is R&R you want, honestly, Oahu really isn't the place. I would suggest Big Island or Wailea, Maui. Very secluded and peaceful... I just had my honeymoon there 3 months ago in Maui and Big Island. My favorite island thus far is Big Island.

i'm thinking you may be interested in the U2 concert on 9-DEC??? There's a bunch of fan club/groupies out there that are organizing crazy stuff like going to the concert, partying all night, and then running the Honolulu Marathon at 5:00 AM on 10-DEC Originally Posted by NOVAMAN

not questioning your skills, but i'm thinking you may be rusty after 8 years... Winter swells in the Country are a whole different world-- even to those familiar to the sport. it was many years ago, but I still remember my first surf experience at Ehukai... it was 6-8' and it was pure adrenaline & primal "fear" that gnawed at my gut each time i saw the sets rolling behind the waves i duckdived thru... All my 10 years of prior experience (got started when i was 9) had been in Town, with a handfull of sessions out West. Nothing compares to the constant pull of the currents and the hollow breaking of each wave at Pipes. My buddy I was out with that day was of decent skill, and he said at the end of the day he almost had to call for the lifeguard to come 'n get him Originally Posted by NOVAMAN

I'll approach anything smaller than 4-6' sand break. I rarely see anything bigger then 4-6' back in east coast FL. Ehukai or Sandy's are more for me from what I recall. Pipe, Sunset...I'll just spectate. Amazing how those guys make the drop at Pipe.not questioning your skills, but i'm thinking you may be rusty after 8 years...

We considered Turtle Bay. I grew up surfing in FL so I wanted to be close to all the legendary surf spots around the North Shore. Wifey wanted to be close to the shopping/tuorist traps. Oh well...
If you want to see a cruel magic show, while you're surfing, send your wife and credit card to Ala Moana Shopping Center and see them both disappear!!! Originally Posted by NOVAMAN

Seeing that NOVAMAN is a car enthusiast, does anyone know of any car show during December?
