What is the future for Jaws?

What is the future for Jaws? One awe inspiring spectacle of mother nature that many people to get to experience on Maui, is to watch the gigantic waves at the break known as Jaws. Famous as one of the biggest "rideable" waves in the world. When jaws is breaking the top surfers and waterman flock to this spot, and spectators crowd onto the clifftop to see the action. Access is through an obscure pineapple field, that makes getting this location more of a mission, and part of the experience of the adventure. However that will probably all change. As even this special place falls victim to its own success. And its notoriety may have attracted the attention of developers, and perhaps even accelerated its ultimate urbanization. Probably the only thing holding it back is the economy, and its 2million per lot price tag. I do not know the details, but a web search uncovered the plans to cut up this area, and sell it off for luxury homes. Driving to see jaws may become restricted to a privileged few as access becomes private or maybe closed off in this development becomes a gated community. Maybe people should speak out against this development, and ask for Jaws to be saved. There are plenty of other similar locations for luxury homes, that do not need to be right on top of the world's best and most accessible wave.

Surf Camp Yoga Slideshow

Surf Camp Yoga Slideshow just posted.  
This was from our Athletes for Cancer surf camp. Participants came to Maui for a week long ocean camp and got to enjoy surf, standup, outrigger canoes, the beach, and whale watching. In between we got to do some yoga and other fun things. This slideshow is just a random collection from one day's session. The surf camp was awesome for all participants and instructors. Thanks to Tonia Farman the organizer and the sponsors; Athletes for Cancer, Standup for Cancer, and the John Wayne Cancer Foundation.
