Well... some of the evos here are engine-less. if you want a 240sx to cruise with the evos... you got one!!!! As soon as the woo-WOO evo is up and running again, would love to hang out with more evo owners.
As for the Evo BBQ, i got my fam out here this weekend, but how would you all feel about Next weekend? say the 11th or 12th? Let me know who's interested!

Hello Hawaii Evo owners,
I come to you as a fellow Evo enthusiast looking for some advice/tips on my future surf trip to Oahu in mid-January (my first time out to Hawaii). I'll be traveling with three of my buddies and we're staying with a friend who is in the Army, who lives in Ewa Beach.
I have nothing but respect for the locals, and I know the last thing you'll want to deal with is a group of guys from New Jersey crowding up your breaks. Any advice on which beaches/breaks would be our best bet, to both not crowd up the locals, yet stay as far away from the tourist traps as possible? A few of us have been surfing for a few years and can certainly hold our own, but a couple of the guys are relative beginners.
We'll be in town from January 7-17, so if you have any desire to meet up, hang out, surf, or show some kooks around, please shoot me a PM!
Thanks,
Mike

Shoulder to head high would be ideal, 4-6 ft. -ish. I guess a beach break, or a deeper spot where we won't get destroyed by a shallow reef would be important too. We've been trying to do some research, but I was hoping to get a better feel for which areas we should gravitate towards and which we should avoid.
I feel like we all prefer rights, but it doesn't matter a whole lot. I think we're going to rent a couple of longboards too, so it would be great to find a nice, long wave since we'll never see anything like that here in NJ.

Wow only 4 EVOs and I saw 1 in the 6 days I was there.
Hopefully E85 tuners will make the trip over once you get some E85 pumps. Next time I'm over I'll let you know just incase you need something from the 48. My wife and I are hooked on Kauai.

The waves on the south side of the island are gonna be relatively small but still fun to longboard on. If you want to have a real good night, I suggest going down to Waikiki after midnight with a cooler of beer and some longboards and hit the sets then. No one is gonna be out there and you'll be able to see just fine. Waves will prolly get up to no more than 3 foot faces but you can ride them forever.
If they do call for smaller waves up on North Shore you should check out Chun's Reef. It doesn't get too crowded there and is a nice spot to chill out and bbq for the day.
Now about reef... you're not gonna find any kine good waves without reef around. It's one of those things you just gotta deal with.
Stay away from Sandy's. You mainlanders tend to get ****ed up there. I don't even go to Sandy's and I lived there for 3 years.
If you're into body boarding at all, definitely check out Waimea Bay. I'm not talking about those bull**** boogie boards, I mean real body boards. If you do go there, there's no reef to worry about but the shore break can be real brutal and if you're not careful you'll get stuck in a big, bad set (happened to me my first time out)... hope you can hold your breath. DO NOT go out body boarding without fins (you can rent them anywhere you can rent a body board).
