mahalo, has anyone stayed over on pacific coast for a period of time and care to comment on nice places to find an affordable house near the beach?

surely they must have more surf than south shore did this summer

Go down south. Across the channel form Pavones. THere a set up of three rights. One is called Ponduce and another is called Backwash Beach, the third I can't remember. There are really cheap places to stay and it's uncrowded. Three long rights along three little bays. Tiny town of maybe 1000 people. One restaurant, one bar. I stayed for a week and it was awesome.

You'll be going towards the end of the rainy season. I was there during September(middle of Rainy season) and it rained nearly 7 inches every day. Made for great glassy conditions, but we did get a lot of landslides. Make sure you get a 4X4.

I'll try to get some pics of matopalo up this weekend. I got a couple set-up shots, landslide shots and water shots. And sketchy airplane shots.
