The North Shore

So we have a new dance blog in Word Press with the title of North Shore. Gives you a hint at what it is going to be all about. The North Shore on the Island of Oʻahu, refers to the north-facing coastal area of Oʻahu between Kaʻena Point and Kahuku Point. And the largest group of housing is in Haleʻiwa. This entire area is best known for its massive waves, attracting surfers from all around the globe.

"People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking
that they can do things. When they believe in themselves
they have the first secret of success."


The northern hemisphere winter months on the North Shore see a concentration of surfing activity, taking advantage of swells originating in the stormy North Pacific. The North Shore is considered to be the surfing mecca of the world, and every December hosts three competitions,

The Triple Crown of Surfing, the three men's competitions, are the Reef Hawaiian Pro, the O'Neill World Cup of Surfing, and the Billabong Pipeline Masters. The three women's competitions are the Reef Hawaiian Pro, the Roxy Pro Sunset, and the Billabong Pro on the neighboring island of Maui.


The spot of Ehukai Beach, commonly known as the Banzai Pipeline, is the most notable surfing spot on the North Shore, and is considered a prime spot for competitions due to its close proximity to the beach, giving spectators, judges, and photographers a great view. Other notable surfing spots include Waimea Bay and Sunset Beach. And fortunately they all have a few places to quench your thirst.


The Rail Disaster on Oahu has awakened the desire for independence from the Fat Cats in the Ivory Towers of Honolulu, out to make big bucks on the backs of the residents of this island. They taking new views on Kapolei, also known as Second City. And they are just now realizing the advantage of a road from Makaha to Mokuleia and have the first real around the island roadway for Oahu.

They are slowly realizing that the Rail Catastrophe is really screwing up the works for the residents of West Oahu. How about a small business park in Pupukea with about 200 employees Wow! 200 less cars on the freeway to and from Honolulu. And you coulda been home in 20 minutes and be able to spend some time with the family. Minimum wage? Worth ten times more on the North Shore than in Honolulu. Dancing is illegal there?
