Has been pretty good the past week. Although the Gorge doesn't seem too bad anymore wind quality wise (pretty gusty here). Got some wave riding and some freestyle in. Sorry no action shots. Seen tons of whales and fishes/turtles snorkeling. Gonna get scuba certified next week so should be fun even w/o the wind for a few days.

Whales are everywhere, see them every day

Nope, but Napili is nice too. That beach is north of Ka'anapali I think. Airport beach? North of Black Rock.

Yep, kite beach and the surfboard one's from Naish beach. They're all near each other. Saw a bunch of whales playing off kite beach while paddle boarding there last week. Was considering paddling out to them, but remembered Gman's story and decided to catch waves instead.

My phone camera take of Kite Beach from Saturday. By early afternoon the wind was so gusty, only very few were able to get out. Sixty to 200 feet from the beach, right about where the kite is on the water, the wind was going from over 20 to nothing in an instant.
