My brother, Jon, took us to "The Point" up in Laie (it's the northern most part of the island). There is a series of rocks which make up tiny islands there (there's this whole local history story that goes along with it...something about a monster lizard that was terrorizing the islanders and a warrior among them destroyed it to bits--making the these huge rocks out there. There was five of them I believe). Anyway, you can see in the pix that these are some seriously sharp rocks and the waves are absolutely INSANE. I've seen quite a few beaches and lots of ocean now...but I've never seen one that just was screaming STRONG. And dangerous! This place is definitely a "look but do not touch/swim" area.
Jon was making me nervous in this pic because this "rock" we were on is a cliff and Marcus was awwwwwfully close to the edge! And if anyone fell in, it'd be called a death sentence cause I have no idea how they'd get out (we could jump in after them, but then we'd all drown....seriously, I can't begin to describe how powerfully strong the waves were up against these cliffs).
I love, love, LOVE this pic! Uncle Jon, Marcus REALLLLLLLY misses you!
Somebody was really enjoying hanging out on the dangerous rock. :)
In the voice of Phineas from Phineas and Ferb: "Wait for it....wait for it.....". You'll understand by the end. Patience!
It won't let me upload the other video I had that gives a panoramic view, but oh well. Guess you people will have to come visit to see the rest of it!

ha... awesome... i've seen pictures of people jumping off of this to the right.. you're looking straight out... but if you look to the right.. that's where people jump down.. and then climb up the rock/side to jump again... but you have to do it in the summer when the waves on the north shore are more normal... in the winter... north shore is nuts.... ideal is june/july time frame and the water is SO clear during that time as well.... have you guys ever gone to alligator pond? here's a picture of it: http://danandjonna.blogspot.com/2010/01/alligator-pond.html
