Bugger that. Wastes a day. I've always flown overnight. Leave the luggage at the hotel. Have a full day and a last dinner somewhere in Waikiki and pick up the luggage and catch the bus back to the airport.
So, did you go to the North Shore?

You can probably do both. You don't normally fly out till about midnight/ 1 am.
trev Aussie flights mostly leave Oahu in the mornings these days

bumfluff the wind is never fcuken south ...or hardly ever. Pipe works in a trade wind just fine. Every god damn clip you've ever seen of it has been in a trade wind.

ah whatever ya missed it. Better luck next time.

No, I'm on honeymoon. I feared that if I went out once it would turn into a surf trip and I promised the wifey I wouldn't surf the whole time.

I will be back within a year or two and THAT one will be a surf trip.

Gotcha... I'm only going by the Wannasurf website. But thanks for that i'll know for next time.

I checked the cam this morning and it was only about 3ft. Not worth getting a car for so stayed in Waikiki.

We last came through in 2010.
Got in the habit of doing it that way in 2002 and liked it.
Not sure why. I HATE night flying - can't see anything, boring. I can sleep but my wife can't, although the last couple of times we've had half empty planes so were able to stretch out over three or four seats.
I prefer flying during the day to have something to look at out of the window - especially to London.

I hate night flying too - I can't sleep on planes. If I could lay flat I would sleep but can't sitting upright.

It's forecast for 10 - 12 ft on Saturday. I leave tomorrow.

FML

However it has been a sick two weeks and I could easily fall in love with this place.

Yeah. I love it too. My wife doesn't understand. Reckons she could just as easily be in North Qld with a lot of the scenery.

What? you went to Hawaii in your honeymoon and didn't surf?.

That is the only reason I chose Hawaii for my honeymoon and timed it for the swell. Get your priorities right son.

Right about now it might be worth pointing out that Natho's marriage didn't last.

I had one of my honeymoons in Hawaii. Pipe was huge, someone got washed out to sea during the sunset contest.
I still surfed, somewhere much smaller
