The eclectic North Shore visitors’ sole purpose is to surf. As for us, the sand and palm trees make us smile. The Aussies are represented heavily. Jillian pointed out that there are several direct flights. There is nothing trivial when it comes to Jillian’s travel trivia. She should have been a travel channel correspondent. The Ke Iki Beach Bungalows overlooks a part of the North Shore that has slightly less menacing surf than the beaches located a mile down the road, Pipeline.
Just the same, there are signs lining the beach that swimmers do so at their own risk. The concussions of the waves breaking on the beach felt while lying on a bed sleeping put you on notice that the surf demands a lot of respect. My surfing lessons were held at a very calm surf area, Haleiwa Beach Park. Waves were no more than 3 or 4 feet. Last Thursday a 20 year surfing veteran, originally from Puerto Rico, lost his life to waves with 20 foot faces. He was surfing Banzai Pipeline.
