I surfed Diamond Head last weekend. When I got out of the water I realized it was “golden hour.” I ran up the trail to my car and was able to grab my camera in time to snap this. It’s pretty over here at dusk.

There are a couple lookouts around the lighthouse that you can drive to. It’s worth checking out even if you’re not going for the surf.

Up until a couple weeks ago, I thought the cliff section in Portlock over the spitting cave was called China Wall. Oops. That area is Portlock Point. This (above), is China Wall. It’s just around the corner from the Portlock Point and overlooks a kamikaze style surf break. The view is most amazing at dusk and at this time of year, you can watch the sun set over Diamond Head.

China Wall is one of the most beautiful places on Oahu. Go there to hang out, soak in the view and watch some intense surf.

You know that drive up Kalanianaole Hwy from town to Makapu’u? I do that pretty often but I’ve never stopped at all those lookout points. I recently decided to drop by each one to check them out. There’s some some really great views out there.

I see this Bug parked across the street from my apartment from time to time. I love how they just leave their board on the roof rack. Such a cool and iconic ride.
