How far are you from the water?

[808sup]

I can see Maalaea on the left and Kanaha on the right, Sugarcane in between. I am blessed!

[SoCalSupper]

3 minutes from Salt Creek-5-7 mins from Doho-about 15 mins to Sano

[LaPerouseBay]

118 yards as the crow flies, 226 if I hoof it.    

Very lucky.

Three blocks from Pleasure Point.

807 miles to get to my favorite surfspot...

For me it's half an hours drive in good traffic but when it's bad it can take me an hour.. That's why I drive a little car now..

5 min from a small gravel pit lake, I do 1/2 mi. Laps, or
20 min up the hill to a larger lake & 1 hour from Santa cruz, capitola and half moon bay

I'm fortunate to live on a houseboat (on Lake Union, Seattle) so zero feet for flat water. It's obviously super convenient for SUP. I can get out a couple times a day and take advantage of conditions as they come. It's 2.5 hrs to surf, including a ferry ride.  I wouldn't mind flipping those numbers, but until my kids are in college, it is what it is.

In the late 80's I lived in a tiny water-front studio in Kahana (up the beach from s-turns), that was truly paradise.

According to Google Maps, 504' to the waters edge, but it's 1100' feet to the waters edge at the beach where I can get in on my SUP.  I wake up feeling lucky every day.

two miles from Maliko gulch and 50 feet from the ocean... cool but not so cool when there's a tsunami warning.
walking distance to Charleys, Mana Foods and the PO.  But you know once you step into your car it doesn't really matter whether it's 5min or a half hour except for the cost of gas.

Like Maui Husky, 0 feet away.  I liveaboard! I'm 6" away lying in my bunk and the boards live on the side deck of the boat.  I love the pre-dawn glass! Sometimes I go for  a work out paddle and sometimes I put on the suction cup drink holder and go for a leisurely paddle with a cup of coffee on the board.

As said above, nice to remind myself on occasion what sweet life I've got.

Couple minutes of walking and I'm on the beach in Honokowai.
