The Big Waves Are Back!

The big waves are back and that means that the North Shore (Ho'okipa and Jaws) is being pounded with big waves this week. The big wave surfers are standing by for the perfect opportunity to head out and catch some epic waves.

If you want to see what the fuss is all about, head north on Hana Highway until you come to the cute little seaside town of Paia. Paia town is definitely worth a stop! Not only is Paia popular for their eclectic shops and delicious grindz, but it's also home to Mana Foods, a local favorite. 

A little past Paia, you'll come to Ho'okipa, which is a popular spot for Big Wave surfers. This week's swell is one that you won't want to miss. Tomorrow is projected to be 25 - 30 foot waves, which means 40 - 50 foot faces. If it's big enough, Jaws (Peahi) should be going off too. See you there!
