Aloha,

For those of you who don’t know what shave ice is or kept hearing about it when you were on the islands,  this blog is for you. 1st rule, try not to get a shave ice in Waikiki, "why" you say, because I have not seen a machine that grounds up blocked ice only the cubes. A big NO NO. Find the machines that make their ice from the blocks of ice. There is a variety of flavors to choose from. You can choose up to 3 flavors and even enjoy a scoop of vanilla ice cream at the bottom. When you are here, you must try a shave ice with Ling Hui Mui and strawberry or a juicy, juicy passion fruit will hit the spot after a nice day in the ocean.

There are a couple of places here on the island of Oahu that is famous for their shave ice. Matsumoto’s on the north shore is probably the most famous and Island Snow in Kailua, but if you are at the Waikele outlets there is a little kart outside of Sports Authority that has the best on the island, hands down. Don’t forget the holder so you don’t make a mess and the small size are nearly as big as the large.

From the beautiful island of Oahu. It is a beautiful day today with light trade winds and a clear sky. There was a south shore swell this week the was great for blowhole spectators by world famous Sandy Beach. (Sandy’s is famous for the most broken necks and backs in the state. Kids lets just watch at this one.)

Moms and Dads if you are looking for a great way to spend the day and plenty to do for the kids, may I suggest Kailua Beach on the east side of Oahu. There is kayaking, snorkeling, windsurfing, boogie boarding, and Kite surfing for those that like to catch a whole lot of air. It is one of my favorite beaches to visit on the island, the water is crystal clear with light waves for the kids to have a blast. Don’t forget shave ice at the corner store Island Snow, the drive back to Waikiki is not the same with out it.
