03/06/2012

NORTH SHORE, OAHU, HI (March 6, 2012) – While many travelers prefer the convenience of tour groups, guides, and buses, this can be an impersonal approach to discovering a new destination. Often those who invest the extra time and energy to explore on their own, find many more memorable experiences. 

So, to help guests gain a richer and more gratifying travel experience while visiting Oahu’s fabled North Shore, Turtle Bay Resort offers its new Insider’s Play List: a tip sheet provided by North Shore luminaries about their favorite ways to play along one of the world’s most storied coastlines. 

Insider’s Play Lists will include favorite adventures, attractions, activities, events, places to eat, beaches, surf spots and ocean outings and the authors, who live “the North Shore life” to the fullest, will range from legendary surf icons and artists to resort ambassadors and employees. Now creating a personal Play List and exploring the fabled North Shore like a local, just became a snap!

The inaugural Insider’s Play List was provided by Kai Lenny who is considered one of the best young watermen or super-athletes in the world and is currently a Turtle Bay Resort Ambassador. Kai enjoys any sport that involves the ocean. He is a surfer, windsurfer, kitesurfer, stand up paddler (SUP), tow-in surfer, and hydro-foiler among others.  Whew!

In 2011, Kai received the following Stand Up World Tour awards: 

• SUPWT Sunset Beach Pro Winner

• SUPWT La Torche, France Pro Winner

• SUPWT World Champion

 

Here is Kai’s Insider’s Play List in his own words!

• Go surf all of the perfect waves that the 7-mile miracle has to offer!

• Windsurf or kitesurf Backyards, since it is one of the best waves in the world for wind sports.
