Ala Moana Bowls Access
  Go to ALa Moana Harbor/Boat parking lot near Hawaiian Hilton Village. Walk along rock jetty
that parallels the boat on the right side of you. Jump off rocks and paddle right towards the deep water boat channel.
If it is on, you will see a thick sucky left barrel coming through. Have fun and get barreled.

Additional Surfing Infos
 Don't try to take off too deep here cause probably won't make the section and you'll miss the sick barrel.
Don't keep any valuables in car in parking lot, cause it gets worked alot by Da Boys.
  Overview
  Atmosphere Very beautiful and gnarly wave when it is going off. Take advantage of dawn patrols.

Wow! Sick wave... Very tight local crew...3 hours and only 6 waves.  I was one of two non locals. The other guy got heckled pretty bad by a mob of Hawaiins. Funny though, the dude making the biggest stink may have been born in

Wave thugs don't get my respect.
Wow...what a bunch of crap. I surfed this spot and it was great, I went in with no attitude respected ALL the surfers out there and had no problems with anyone. Actually the best surfer out there was a chic...destroying all da boys.

Don't think Hawaii and your surf spot is the only place getting infultrated with mainstream public. My mountain and local lake is getting taken over too, as i am a semi-pro wakeboarder. Those guys piss me off too, but it doesnt mean I can go around acting like a thug, blaiming everyone else.

Grow up! I am broke too, but i am doing something about it...pick up a book and learn something. Its easy to blame everyone and act like a thug.

I'm a Haole boy living in Hawaii for 10 years now. I got a good job, drive a nice car, make good money, all that shit. The "locals who's life I couldn't possibly understand", don't give me that horseshit. I grew up with my parents homeless living in a goddamn pickup truck, on welfare and working odd jobs moving from town to town till the cops kicked us out and sent us down the road to the next place. I just got lucky with an opportunity for education and ran with it until I got where I am now. Worked my ass off for it. Parents did too. But I see guys here, and back over there, who didn't have a chance, and are still working their ass off to survive on the street. I'm not better than you, and you are not better than me. Period. All that separates us is luck.

Black, white, brown, whatever, color doesn't matter. That's all pure bullshit. There are "locals" everywhere in the world that hate people who come from anywhere else, or are different from them, or have something they don't have. It's all the same shit, just with different actors playing diferent parts in different places.

So screw all that shit. Respect everyone, because sometimes you never know who you're messing with till they walk over and slit your throat without a word. Give respect to get respect. I will work to earn your respect, but you will have to work to earn mine, too. If you don't want it, than fuck you.

Chinamans on crack
Stop trippin, Chinaman. Everybody's life is hard. I am an Islander, but I don't assume I can kick that ass on every fool who shows up. I have enough scars and bullet holes to know otherwise. You can punk people who punk you, but if some fool wants to hoot for you, its all good. Chill out.
