The North

August 1, 2008

The ultimate surfer paradise of the world lies in the north Oahus, on the so-called “North Shore”.
     
When the winter storms in the North Pacific Ocean waves on the north coast auftürmen, then begins between Haleiwa and Sunset Beach the high season. Sometimes, particularly stormy days, the highway is blocked because the huge breakers to the street. From Honolulu with her flock surfboards vollgepackte pickups to the north, where sonnengegerbte Beach Boys sit. They then crossed the coast up and down and watch the swell. The beaches are the fans with binoculars and and the photographers with their super telephoto lenses and track so that their idols.
     
The fastest way to get from Honolulu on the freeway from 2 across through the center of the island in the north. At the end of the freeway at Wahiawa man with cuts on Highway 80 a piece and finally lands on Highway 99 to Haleiwa. On the coast itself, the only road through many small towns and has almost everywhere a speed limit of 30 or 50 miles per hour. That is one of Waikiki from along the east coast several hours longer than the direct route described, although the route to the card only about one and a half times as long.
