Mokule'ia Beach

I went to the last beach area I've not been to on Oahu today called Mokule'ia. This is probably one of the most undeveloped area I've seen on Oahu. It reminded me a lot of Kauai and Molokai islands with how remote it was. The air here is so fresh, it put Elton and I into a sleepy lull. The wind was strong today which draws out the surfers onto the big waves. There were lots of kite surfers here today. They basically hold on to a kite while jumping off waves on a surf board. It's pretty wild to watch. I had a good time snapping shots of them.

plenty of Kite surfers on this beach today




Two harness belts go around the waist which pulls the body weight with the kite
The kite surfer to the left is airborne while the other one is surfing on the water
This guy jumped off as the wind pulled his kite up and was in the air for about 3 full seconds

This little guy was cute. Its colors camouflages perfectly with the sand here
Further west to the northwest tip of Oahu is Ka'ena Point Park. The terrain here is rougher and more remote. There's no beaches here but a great place to sit and take in the sea, sun and sand.

'Malama Da Aina' in Hawaiian means Care for the Land.
