Oahu/Maui November
Posted: Sat Oct 27, 2012 10:30 am
I'm heading to Oahu and Maui the last two weeks of November. =- =- =-
few things I'm looking for advice on (1) accomodations. (2) surfboard (3) wetsuit
(1) In Maui, I'm going to be travelling alone, will be seeking out a social crowd, so am likely to stay at a hostel. Anyone been to Banana Bungalow (looks like a party crowd) or Rainbow Hostel (more sleepy)? What are your impressions of them for a kite trip.
Also, if anyone else is going to be there over the week of Thanksgiving, let me know. I'll launch your kite for you and maybe share a few
(2) if anyone has advice on where to rent/borrow a surfboard (straps preferred as I've yet to try stapless in waves) at a bargain price, I'm all ears. I'm also open to the idea of buying one there on craigslist as alaska air only charges $50 for surfboard shipping while Delta on the flight out charges $150.
(3) in searching the web, the idea of a wetsuit that time of year seems up in the air, with many suggesting a shorty might be nice. Anyone care to agree/disagree? I'd rather not buy one of I'm going to show up, look like a kook, and be too warm.
thanks for your help
