I lived in hawaii for a short time but never got to ride there....too much surfing to be done. I went and visited a friend on the big island this winter. When I got off the plane they had gotten a couple of feet on the mountain over the previous days. Funny how its free to fly with skis or a snowboard but it costs a $100 each way with a surfboard. I should have brought the split seeing as it was flat. I can't imagine what they would charge you to fly with a surfboard nowadays.
