No Acess - The lady that owns her house on top of papaikou mill has aressted my friends for trespassing on her property. The waves was the sickets its been in a while. She is taking them to court and their going to try and fight for the state and county to make a trail going around her property. She does not own the beach and cant stop anyone from going there. There is another trail that local kids had made that is really unsafe. We are starting a petition to gain back our rights to surf.. email me if you want to support this surf spot..
thanks
