Hilo Bodysurfing
Came up from the undersea wonder of a school of humuhumu'ele'ele (Hawai’ian black triggerfish - Melichthys niger) just in time for a nice little torpedo glide at a very mellow beach near Hilo. My advice for anyone looking to connect with the sea through wave riding: leave the boards and bad bro attitudes behind (this in itself is a long story) and find joy in the gift of the lower hanging fruit!
HAWAII - Documentary
'''Hawaii''' ( ; ) is the 50th and most recent [[U.S. state|state]] to have joined the [[United States|United States of America]], having received statehood on August 21, 1959. Hawaii is the only U.S. state located in [[Oceania]] and the only one composed entirely of islands. It is the northernmost island group in [[Polynesia]], occupying most of an [[archipelago]] in the central [[Pacific Ocean]]. Hawaii is the only U.S. state not located in the [[Americas]].
The state encompasses nearly the entire volcanic [[Hawaiian Islands|Hawaiian archipelago]], which comprises hundreds of islands spread over . At the southeastern end of the archipelago, the eight main islands are—in order from northwest to southeast: [[Niihau|Niihau]], [[Kauai|Kauai]], [[Oahu|Oahu]], [[Molokai|Molokai]], [[Lanai|Lānai]], [[Kahoolawe|Kahoolawe]], [[Maui]], and the [[Hawaii (island)|Island of Hawaii]]. The last is the largest island in the group; it is often called the Big Island or Hawaii Island...

Ho'okena Beach Park - Big Island Hawaii
Ho'okena Beach Park Snorkeling with the Family. We got a tip from a friend that this was a good place. We had to ferret out how to get here by talking with a few locals.
At first glance not too impressive, until you get underwater...that's where it's 5 stars. Best snorkeling we've EVER had. Guide books don't really mention this place.
It is south of the Place of Refuge. To get there, get onto Highway 11 and then turn Right at the 101 mile marker. There's a sign that says Ho'okena. Drive this curvy road for 2 miles until the very end where the road forks. Take the Left side, which is a one-lane, with a short stone wall along side it. That takes you directly there.
Snorkeling is good on the Left (facing the ocean from the beach) , but the mind-blowing side is the Right. Nobody was out there, perhaps a bit daunted by the wave crashing. We found it to be quite easily swimmable, even taking my 68 year old dad, and my 6 year old daughter.
North Shore Big Waves at Turtle Bay Oahu Hawaii
North Shore Big Waves at Turtle Bay Oahu Hawaii
I drove up from Honolulu to Turtle bay to do a little surfing, and to do some underwater filming. The waves were a little rougher than I prefer for surfing; these were waves like on the Oregon coast, and I can get plenty of those at home. So I was a bit disappointed about the waves, so rather then get wet, I decided to play a round of golf instead. So this video here is as close as I came to surfing and snorkeling at Turtle Bay.
Hawaii website:
From the website:
Turtle Bay (view panorama) marks the entrance to the legendary North Shore, one of the most scenic stretches of Oahu's coastline. The bay is named after the large number of green sea turtles that inhabit the area and who used to lay their eggs in the sand on the beach years ago (however, they don't do this anymore).
Learn more about Turtle Bay here:
From Wiki:
Turtle Bay is located between Protection Point and Kuilima Point on the North Shore of the island of O'ahu in the U.S. state of Hawaii.

From Wiki:
Oʻahu (pronounced [oˈʔɐhu]) or Oahu /oʊˈɑːhuː/, known as The Gathering Place, is the third largest of the Hawaiian Islands; however, it is home to about two-thirds of the population of the U.S. state of Hawaii, and is the home of Honolulu International Airport. The state capital, Honolulu, is on Oʻahu's southeast coast. Including small close-in offshore islands such as Ford Island and the islands in Kaneohe Bay and off the eastern (windward) coast, it has a total land area of 596.7 square miles (1,545.4 km2), making it the 20th largest island in the United States

Momentum Generation
For the first time in their careers, the core members of surfing's most legendary crew have agreed to tell their story together, giving the filmmakers unprecedented access to their inner circle, and tens of thousands of hours of private archives. After leaving their families in their early teens to live crammed together in a house on the North Shore of Oahu, they courageously followed each other into Mother Nature's most dangerous waves... and when some of them didn't make it back to shore, together they found a way to mourn and adapt. Fuelled by camaraderie -- but even more so by a deep-seated competitiveness -- this tight-knit crew became known as the Momentum Generation after being featured in Taylor Steele's groundbreaking surf films. They went on to win world titles, break records, and redefine the world's perception of the surfer, youth culture, and of what it means to be free. As told through their own voices, captured over the course of multiple years of production, the Momentum Generation surfers reflect on the complexity of the brotherhood and competition that shaped their shared emotional journey and made these pioneers both heroic and human.

PBS Hawaii - HIKI NŌ Episode 503 | Hosted by Kapaa High School | Full Program
Premiere Airdate: October 17, 2013
TOP STORIES: Students from Kamehameha Schools Maui Middle report on a group of volunteers who are reconstructing an ancient Hawaiian fish pond sea wall in Kihei. The volunteers are using the same process used by the thousands of ancient Hawaiians who built the original - using stones from the area and hand stacking them one stone at a time. The fishpond was originally built for Hawaiian alii (royalty). Once completed, the restored fishpond will be used as a model for the sustainable use of natural resources. Students from Kalaheo High School in Kailua on Oahu tell the story of a young teacher at their school who feels that her childhood dream of becoming a teacher was fulfilled because she attended the college of her choice and because she and her parents had a plan for how to finance her college tuition. Although she is still considerably in debt with outstanding student loans, she has no regrets and feels she and her parents made the right choices.
ALSO FEATURED: Students from Waimea High School on Kauai tell the story of a woman who is carrying on her father's legacy by continuing to operate his ice cream parlor in Waimea under the same name (Super Duper Ice Cream) and at the same location; Mililani Middle School on Oahu reports on a Hawaii organization that helps women filmmakers get established; Molokai High School students present a profile of a teacher at their school who was told early on in life that he would never amount to anything and went to college to prove his naysayers wrong; students from Sacred Hearts Academy on Oahu show us how to hike safely; students from Ka Waihona o ka Naauao in Nanakuli on Oahu paint a portrait of local chef Mark Kaahaaina, owner/operator of Kaahaaina Cafe in Waianae; and students from Waiakea High School in Hilo tell the story of a Thai immigrant whose success with her restaurant business has enabled her to move her children to Hilo to life with her.

SUMMARY
=======
Hawaii ( ( listen) hə-WY-ee; Hawaiian: Hawaiʻi [həˈvɐjʔi]) is the 50th and most recent state to have joined the United States, having received statehood on August 21, 1959. Hawaii is the only U.S. state located in Oceania, the only U.S. state located outside North America, and the only one composed entirely of islands. It is the northernmost island group in Polynesia, occupying most of an archipelago in the central Pacific Ocean.The state encompasses nearly the entire volcanic Hawaiian archipelago, which comprises hundreds of islands spread over 1,500 miles (2,400 km). At the southeastern end of the archipelago, the eight main islands are—in order from northwest to southeast: Niʻihau, Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, Kahoʻolawe, Maui, and the Island of Hawaiʻi. The last is the largest island in the group; it is often called the Big Island or Hawaiʻi Island to avoid confusion with the state or archipelago. The archipelago is physiographically and ethnologically part of the Polynesian subregion of Oceania.
Hawaii's diverse natural scenery, warm tropical climate, abundance of public beaches, oceanic surroundings, and active volcanoes make it a popular destination for tourists, surfers, biologists, and volcanologists. Because of its central location in the Pacific and 19th-century labor migration, Hawaii's culture is strongly influenced by North American and East Asian cultures, in addition to its indigenous Hawaiian culture. Hawaii has over a million permanent residents, along with many visitors and U.S. military personnel. Its capital is Honolulu on the island of Oʻahu.
Hawaii is the 8th-smallest and the 11th-least populous, but the 13th-most densely populated of the 50 U.S. states. It is the only state with an Asian plurality. The state's oceanic coastline is about 750 miles (1,210 km) long, the fourth longest in the U.S. after the coastlines of Alaska, Florida, and California.
