Westside Beauty...

on my little trip out to the westside, one of the things I really wanted
to do was drive out to Makaha and Yokahama Bay to
see how green it was.  I wasn't disappointed
to say the least.  The only thing, I wish I'd brought my long lens,
but still it was so pretty.
It's such a different kind of beauty than what we have on the North Shore.
Really is less crowded ( not a tour bus in sight)



a lot going on in Makaha because of a surf contest


Maili looking towards Makua





these are the weather stations that can be partly seen from our side


one thing that surprised me was that there are now more fast
food places in Nanakuli and Waianae...hope its not a sign of things to come.

Buffalo's Big Board Contest

Yesterday Hubby and I took a drive over to the westside to watch "Buffalos Big Board Contest". This contest has been going on for 30+ years. It's a real local, family event. It's actually over two weekends, so this was the first day and they were doing all the body boarding events. It was such a beautiful day. Sun, waves, mellow...perfect! the narrow two-lane Makaha road...both sides lined up with wall-to-wall cars

1 adult and 1 child on the same HUGE boogie board


the canoe stuff will probably be next weekend, too bad we missed it



beautiful Makaha
