Kauai's Wailua and Kukuiolono municipal golf courses, shown below, do not offer golf packages, however they are fine courses with comparatively inexpensive green fees. Wailua has hosted 3 USGA National Championships Wailua Golf Course - Kauai, Hawaii Golf at Reasonable Prices The Wailua Golf Course, is noted as the best municipal Kauai, Hawaii golf course in the Aloha state. This 18 hole, 6,981-yard course is located by the sea on Kauai's breezy eastern shore. Beautifully situated, it has the endless blue Pacific Ocean and Kauai's green mountains as a background. The front nine holes are basically level and expansive, while the back nine holes feature changes in elevation. The multilevel greens are well kept and numerous sand bunkers dot the golf course to increase the challenge. Kauai's Wailua Golf Course is beautifully landscaped with picturesque Norfolk Island pine and many coconut trees. In 1985, the Wailua club hosted the USGA National Public Links Tournament in 1985.

Kukuiolono Golf Course – Affordable Kauai, Hawaii Golf This Kauai, Hawaii golf course is a 2,981-yard, 9 hole public course, which was once part of a Kauai sugar plantation owner's estate. It is the eight oldest course in Hawaii. Located in Kalaheo, about 15 minutes from Poipu Beach, the Kukuiolono Golf Course is one of Kauai, Hawaii’s best-kept secrets. Hawaii's gorgeous golf courses are often pricey but a voluntary contribution for green fees at Kukuiolono allows for all day play. Kukuiolono is situated on top of an extinct Kauai volcano, which affords sweeping ocean and mountain views. The scenic park and golf course, perched on the top of a hill, offer a 360-degree perspective of the southwestern portion of Kauai. While there are no water hazards, Kukuiolono Golf Course has something most courses don't have – a beautiful Japanese bonsai garden in the middle of a fairway close to the 8th tee, and ruins of ancient Hawaiian rock walls near the 3rd green. With fewer hazards than most Kauai, Hawaii golf courses and very wide fairways, Kukuiolono is especially fun for beginners, although the constantly changing trade winds add a special challenge for all players. Golfers can avoid the windiest conditions by playing early in the day. Some of the greens have sand bunkers that are more Scottish-links-style, with grass growing raggedly on their edges and even into the bunkers. Two sets of tees allow for playing the nine holes again as a slightly different second nine. Kukuiolono Golf Course facilities include a clubhouse, a driving range, and a small putting green. Pull carts and electric golf cars are available at the pro shop. For a change of pace from resort golf on Kauai, Hawaii and for its low green fees, Kukuiolono Golf Course is good choice for Kauai visitors.

Hawaiian Quilts by Men's

Honolulu Star-Bulletin Features By Photographer, Star-Bulletin The caption goes here. -- By Ken Sakamoto, Star-Bulletin Anselm Lum, 82, doing some stitching at his Kaimuki home, has been quilting since the 1970s when he finished a piece that his wife had started. Needlework isn't just the realm of women, as a new exhibit of quilts at the Mission Houses Museum demonstrates By Burl Burlingame Star-Bulletin NOW that women can captain B-52s -- and can get cashiered out of the service for being as dumb as a man -- is it any surprise that men are sewing quilts? Some of the best of local man-made quilts go on display tomorrow at the Mission Houses Museum in a show called "Na Kapa Kuiki Hawai'i Na Ka Lima Kane (Hawaiian Quilts by Men's Hands)." Hawaiian quilting as a folk-art tradition began with the thrifty missionaries recycling scraps of cloth, and eventually became a way for women to express themselves artistically. Quilting can be done either as a solitary activity or with many hands helping simultaneously. Anselm Lum, 82, always liked doing needlepoint and needlework to keep his fingers busy, and enjoyed "art day" at Central Grammar School when the kids turned flour sacks into decorative hand towels using basic cross-stitching. He eventually became a carpenter and a school construction inspector. By Craig T. Kojima, Star-Bulletin From left, closeups of quilt "Kaahumanu" by Anselm Lau; Hana Pa'a by Kimo Balai; and Naupaka Lihikai by Lau. When wife Helen took a class in Hawaiian quilting in the 1970s, Lum picked up an unfinished project and finished it. Since then, he figures he's spent 13,000 hours quilting, usually while Helen worked in the evenings. "It's just therapy for me," he said. "I'm retired, so I only work mornings. I don't want to be a couch potato! And there's nothing on TV to watch anyways." By Sharon Balai, special to the Star-Bulletin Kimo Balai, a young quilter at 45, is caught tending to his craft in this photo taken by his wife, Sharon. Lum's designs are traditional -- "I'm not trying to influence anyone!" -- and he figures the only method he uses that's different is the old carpenter's dictum to measure twice, cut once. "I do a lot of measurements. Some quilters do it by eye. Not me. I plot mine out." Stan Yates, 51, a government expert on disabilities on Kauai, was "blown away" by the beauty and precise construction of Hawaiian quilts, and devoured every book he could find on the subject in the Lihue library. He began quilting in 1986, and by 1988 won a blue ribbon at the Kauai County Fair for a baby quilt design. He likes making quilts in which the positive and negative spaces are interlocked, like a Escher print, and in his spare time demonstrates quilting techniques at Kauai hotels. By Craig T. Kojima, Star-Bulletin Mai Poina 'Oe I'au by Kimo Balai. Younger quilters include Kimo Balai, 45, a lineman for the Hawaii Electric Light Company who lives in Kamuela, Hawaii, and Lincoln Okita, 46, a Honolulu probation officer. Balai's wife Sharon joined Ka Hui Kapa 'Apana O Waimea, a Big Island quilting group, in 1985, and Balai began paying dues so that he could partake in the refreshments brought by the women (the way to a man's hands is through his stomach?). A few years later, he became interested enough to learn, and since then has completed three quiltS. His first, called "Mai Poina 'Oe I'au (Don't You Forget Me)" was designed by Sharon to remind him that he is always on his busy wife's mind. Okita began quilting in 1981, also as a husband-wife activity, when he and wife Jo Malmstrom-Okita were living on a Sioux reservation in South Dakota, and they became determined to make a Sioux star-quilt together for their bed. Okita began Hawaiian quilting in 1990 after seeing Elizabeth Akana's TV show about Hawaiian quilting techniques. The precise stitching and obvious progress at the end of each session allows the quilter to get into a Zen zone of concentration, like a meditative state. "Quilting is my stress-reducer and provides me with a sense of concrete accomplishment that you usually don't get from social work," said Okita. By Craig T. Kojima, Star-Bulletin The Mission Houses Museum quilt display is open through July 12.

Hawaiian Food: Luau (

Hawaiian Food - Luau Hawaiian Food Local Recipes Mainland Sources Shop Online Pacific Rim Hawaiian Food Index More Food & Dining Links from the Hawaiian Style Web Directory . The Hawaii Food Bank is a not for profit organization that collects food from the food industry and community, and distributes it to charities feeding those in need. Online donations are accepted at the Hawaii Food Bank Web site. Hawaii School Reports is sponsored by: Quick Facts | People | History | Language | Nature Hawaiian Food: Luau ( L'au ) Related Pages Imu Cooking Luau Party Ideas Luau Recipes We're often asked to recommend the most "authentic" commercial luau in the islands or to suggest which of the foods should be served at a "traditonal" luau. There are no good answers to these questions! If by authentic or traditional, one means what would have been done or served in ancient times, we have to first change the name. The Hawaiian word l'au means young taro tops, and also a dish made with the leaves, cooked with coconut milk and chicken, octopus or squid. This dish was served at celebrations, so it's likely that a visitor, sometime in the 1850s, confused the word for what they were eating with the whole party, and the word stuck. Taro Patch A rose by any name would smell as sweet , and so too is a get together with friends and family, which is the most important thing to remember. Freely sharing what we have and the feeling of community cannot really be bought and sold. Entertainment can be purchased. Food and beverages can be purchased. Friendship and the feeling of belonging and contributing has no retail value! Now that you know that no commercial luau can be either "authentic" or "traditional", we can move on to enjoying the food, the music and dancing, and being with other people. All commercial luau offer this! And this can be incorporated into your backyard barbeque, family picnic, birthday parties or any celebration no matter where you live. If you're looking for a good commercial luau, we recommend that you visit Hawaii Activities and select from the many attractions and activities they make available to order online.

Maui Windsurfing Vans: 800-870-4084

Windsurfing Maui A-Z Windsurfing Maui A-Z Apr 16, 2004 / Community Maui By Frank "SIMS" Bingel Much has been said and written about Maui, but there remain many untold stories and emotions associated with this windsurfing mecca. Look down and the water is the deepest of blues. Look to your left and you see people taking lessons. Look far to your right and you see pros throwing loops off nothing. Everyone who has had the good luck to sail at Maui long enough (including myself) has a great story to tell, in fact, many great stories . . . breaking or losing half of their sailing equipment on the infamous and dreaded Hookipa "rocks" and the feeling of absolute terror in the impact zone with not a breath of wind in your sail.On a given day, Maui has a greater variety of sailing conditions for all levels of boardsailors than anywhere in the world. Maui's motto says it all :"MAUI NO KA OI". Translated it's :Maui is the best.This is truly a place designed for Windsurfing. Sailing Conditions: For those looking for high winds: visit Maui in the summer. From May to August, the northeast trade winds average 15 to 25 miles/hr, with many days in the 20 to 30 mile/hr range. The summer is also when the wave swell is at its smallest. For those who are looking for Maui's famous surf: visit it when there are both trades and waves - spring (March to May) and fall (September to November). From December to February, the northeasterlies are less consistent, but there are still great sailing days during this time - big wave days especially! During the winter, Kona storms will bring in 10-to 20-knot southwesterlies to the south shore. The sailing is side-onshore, port tack, with conditions similar to lake sailing. Another typical winter occurrence is 5-to 15-knot northerlies. These winds funnel between the West Maui Mountains and the Haleakala Crater creating great side-offshore, slalom sailing on the south shore. KANAHA BEACH PARK - Kanaha is a beautiful beach park with long, sandy beaches, grassy area for rigging, fresh water showers, shading trees, and picnic tables, all located in Kahului on the northshore. Sideshore northeast tradewinds blow consistently during June - August, with typically flat water sailing on the inside, and good bump and jump conditions on the outside. Between October and May you can find waves on the outside reefs, ranging from small wind swell to expert wave riding conditions. Most windsurf schools operate at Kanaha because of the consistent wind and warm water. All year round it is a perfect place for any level sailor. SPRECKELSVILLE / CAMP ONE - Up the coast from Kanaha there is a residential area called Spreckelsville which has many beautiful sandy beaches. The main area to sail is affectionately known as "Sprecks", which provides pristine blue-green water and white sandy beach. Parking is limited, so arrive early. There are no facilities or showers. The sailing level is typically intermediate to advanced, with the reef making for more chop and breaking waves. Camp One is a no frills beach at the end of the Kahului Airport runway. The place has no showers, no grass rigging areas, no toilet, and barely a trash can. It does have a beautiful beach and the only breaking waves for most of the summer. The place is frequented by German's, Australians, Italians, French and local windsurfers. It's a place where you want to be polite and follow the local traditions and laws to the letter. HOOKIPA - Hookipa is the windsurfing mecca of the world. Host to World Cup sailing and surfing contests, Hookipa rips. Jagged lava rock, exposed reefs, a gnarly shorebreak, light inside winds and powerful rip currents make this north shore difficult to launch off limits for most sailors. Experts launch from the Beach Park, just downwind from the pavillion. Expect crowds, with many sailors lulling around the outside and looking for a good wave to rip on the inside. When the water flattens in the summer months, slalom sailors launch here at Hookipa and blast downwind along the north shore. KIHEI - Kihei is the south shore's most popular windsurfing spot. When the tradewinds blow north/northeast the pavillion located at the intersection of Ohukai Street and South Kihei Road is a great place to sail. The reef can be shallow on the inside, especially near the Maui Sunset, so consult the locals before venturing out. Kihei is good for all level sailors and has a variety of accommodations nearby!
