I live in Waianae and one would want to come to Waianae because that is where the mecca of surfing exist. One can catch the bus and if one is strong enough to endure camping that's a possibility too. One should try to do some research on Abner Paki the surfing chief from Makaha. His olo is at the Bishop Museum, I myself have seen it. Researching at the Bishop Museum before one gets here will give you a little bit of surfing history. I have a friend named Steve Goul (sp) he has a surf museum out in Haleiwa. Might want to make that as part of your visit stops. Oops wait first one needs to check out if the museum still exist. good luck! kaohi

I am looking forward to meeting you. Thank you very much for the extra information. yes i believe there is still a surf museum in Hale'iwa.
i am really interested in finding out what is known about the legend of the three brothers that i posted in history? so intend to visit the Polynesian museum as well if i cannot get an answer here.
i intend to go to Makaha for sure.
was my question about wearing a kikepa too trivial?
keep well

  Kikepa are often worn in Hawai'i nei during formal ceremonies. A few kupuna wear kikepa daily to show their connection to our traditional culture and contemporary lifestyle. What is your mana'o about wearing kikepa?

    hi Dane silva.
    firstly, thanks 4 taking the time to reply.
    yes, i believe i (my people) have a cultural connection with polynesian people and have been wearing these since my first trip to tahiti about 20 years ago.
    i just wasn't sure if it might be taken the wrong way wearing one and not being hawaiian, in your country so i thought this might be a non threatening place to ask.
    p.s. sorry for the lack of capitals, my shift keys broke ;-7
