    I was able to ride there in 1991 on a boogie board the waves were big it was a spring swell , and those rocks are no joke! Much respect !, also that trail was a bugger.., we lived/worked on the pineapple plantation down thr road, in Napilihau(sp) Lahaina area for 9 months as a 16 year old kid. I love that side of Maui with all my heart until I die. we also used to camp by the lighthouse over there, fond memories watching this.

    Bro thank you for documenting this. It’s epic. So captivating. I live in Miami where waves are a few feet at best and it’s cool. I just love surfing and I’m not at the skill level to ride the waves you guys ride but I love to see it. It’s a way to explore the world and see things I may never see in person. So dope and much appreciated 🤙
