  • Let's Go Paddling! (FREE Kayak Trips)
    Posted on: 2010-01-21
    Aloha Paddlers,

    It’s been a really long dry spell and I’ve started getting harassing phone calls and threats of bodily harm if we don’t get out paddling soon so I guess it’s time to get started again!! So far we’ve had outstanding paddling weather this winter and if it keeps up, we should have some really great outings.

    Here is a link to our schedule of outings that will take us around Oahu in 2010. On it, you’ll notice an addition to our normal routes, and that is the Kahana Bay stream Cleaning on March 27. This is an outing we’ll plan on doing yearly with a long term goal of opening up a paddling route as far back as the stream is paddle-able.

    So, as you can see, our next paddle is this coming Saturday, January 23 and we’ll be starting at Makapuu and paddling first to the Mokulua Islands where we’ll take a break, do a bit of exploration, shoot da slots, paddle the cove, do some cliff jumping – all surf permitting – and then paddle over to Kailua Beach and take out there.

    We’ll meet at Baby Makapuu, ¼ mile South of the Pier at 8:00AM , and after offloading boats, shuttle cars to Kailua Beach Park at 8:20. After shuttling back to Baby Makapuu, we should be paddling away from Makapuu at approx. 9:15 and finishing at Kailua Beach at about 1:00 O’clock or so depending on how much time we hang out at the Mokes.

    This is a nice route that allows us to take a shoreline course, or stay out by the reef for a bit of surfing, or head out to Rabbit Is. And then turn over toward the Mokes. Whichever way we decide to go, it’ll be a fun day on the water so we’ll see ya there!!

    Aloha,

    Bob Twogood

  • Pedal Buy Property Tours in Kailua
    Posted on: 2009-01-30
    Real Estate Open House Tours on Bicycles

    Every Second & Fourth Sunday of the Month
    2:00 pm to 5:00 pm


    John Stallings, local Realtor with Keller Williams Realty, is taking the “green” approach to showing real estate in Hawaii. He claims there is no better way to learn about a neighborhood than to walk or ride a bike around.

    From a 'green perspective', viewing real estate on bicycles reduces traffice, saves gasoline, reduces greenhouse emmissions, and it's great for the cardiovascular system. Join us on our informative bi-monthly tours of Kailua open houses.

    All Riders Must Sign Liability Release Form
    Depart Kailua Park at 1:50 pm

    The length of the tour will depend on the number of homes open that particular Sunday. Priority will be given to that week’s new listings & best buys.

    These tours will consist of homes mostly in the flat areas of Kailua, although some hillside homes may be shown.

    At this time, people must furnish their own bikes. If you need a bike, let us know, and we'll see what we can arrange for you.

    A downloadable schedule of the tour will be posted to www.OahusBestHomes.com on the Saturday afternoon before the tour.

    Must RSVP in advance to: John@OahusBestHomes.com

  • Is Kailua Beach Open??? How Clean is the Water???
    Posted on: 2006-03-22

    A common question among islanders during these times with heavy rains.

    A few tips...

    Look around the beach and parking areas for beach closed signs posted in commonly used accesses to the beach.

    If the water is brown and murky, there's a good chance it is contaminated, so avoid it if possible. Sharks are also said to like the brown, murky water, so we'll let you make the call!

    The link below will give you access to information on all beach postings on Oahu.
