Any hookups on Big Island - Hawaii?
« on: April 20, 2014, 01:17:53 PM »
I will be returning back to the big island for a few months over the summer. 

Looking for any possible hook ups you could offer.

I would be interested in renting one of your boards, big or small for surfing or cruising.  If not for rent maybe I will look to buy then try to sell before I leave.

I'd also love to do some long distance or downwind if there are any DW'ers.  You name it, I'm game for some fun.

Thanks!

Not to hijack, but please give us the 411 ( no need to name spots, of course). I notice there's not a ton of surf no on that island. I always say that , "no surf" in Hawaii can stoke us mainlanders.

surfcowboy.
I spent 2 months on the big island over the summer a few years ago.  Loved it.  Found some good fun surf spots with zero hassle.  Lots of good friendly people.  I hit 4 different spots but usually stayed at 2 of the spots and the others really only hit when the swell was bigger.

Hook ups?! whaaaat? brah, we dont give away hook ups for free!

you just missed some epic downwind conditions these past few weeks. We still have a high wind warning right now, prime time to catch downwinders this week on the west side (waikoloa area)

as for the surf... what do you mean big island dont got surf? this pic is from one of the recent winter swells that rolled through! Although if your here now... you wont find much surf.

Either way, if you looking to rent a board, check out the bradahs at Hulakai.  www.hulakai.com you can find the store located at the "Shops at Mauna Lani" You can rent boards, if you want to go on a downwinder tour, they also put on downwind camps.  They'll hook you up with a board, take you out with a partner(s) boat escort, for a downwind run.

you might see some guys out waikoloa side, as most of the die hard SUP guys are training for Olukai coming up in a few weeks, trying to squeeze in last minute downwind time.

if you want to go on a downwinder, ask for "Jun" or "Sarah" they will set you up with everything you need.  Tell them "Jeff" referred you.

No surf here.  Flat as a lake 365 days a year.  That last photo never happened.  Don't let FJ808 pull your leg!

What side you be staying?  I might have a board that you could buy with maybe a buy back deal if it doesn't get trashed.   Anyway, I live deep Puna, South of Hilo.  Long trip from West side but summer is our season here on the Southeast.

When are you coming?  I am being forced to go to Oahu for a week this summer and I do have to build a new house too, but I will still try to get wet in the AM.

Send a private message with some details and contacts and we may be able to hook up.

Aloha

You guys are awesome!
jf808,  I think it was just a few years ago after I stayed in Hawaii for the 2 months, I saw a downwind video that you posted.  I recognized the beach where you gathered and I was so wishing I was there.  I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed for some of those days.  Thanks for the info you sent.  I will check em out.  Wait, I think I saw 3 SIC boards in your quiver, interested in buy back program?? ;D

punasurf,  I'd love to buy a board and do a buy back deal assuming condition is similar.  I'm pretty easy on my boards, its the airlines that trash mine.  I will send you a PM.

I will be on Oahu for a short time and then over to the big island from June 19 - July 31.

hahaha, yea ummm. neva mind that pic i posted all lies lol! we keep our spots a secret. But fo real, dats bominb big island cuz. That a Hulakai Team Rider killing it, must have broke 3 or 4 boards that day.


Boludo,

got some good wind going this week brah.  Just got in a sick downwinder today afterwork.  yesterday was pumping too. not sure where you @ downwind wise, but we going try go for another run late tomorrow afternoon.

but serious talk to the Hulkai boys, they are downwind junkies. they could even take you OC1 if your familiar with that, or ride along in a 2 man OC2 on a downwinder. I actually selling one of my 17' V1's, or was thinking of just keeping it and renting it out.

JF808,

Excellent.  I will send you a PM.  I'm a little bit out of it right now as I was evacuated from the SoCal fires.  I get to return home today though. 
Thanks!
