Kiteboarding in Kailua Bay - Escape Travel

THE wind is up and the kites are flying. Well, some of them are. One poor kiter is a victim of the very wind that has everyone else scooting back and forth across Kailua Bay - his kite is stuck up a tree, and his dilemma draws as much interest as those kiteboarders performing out on the water do.

The Kailua Coast, on the eastern seaboard of Oahu, is as famous for its windward beaches as it is for its sunrises, and a playground for those intrepid enough to venture beyond the bright lights and crowded beaches of Waikiki.

It's where the kiteboarders go to fly, as do kayakers, windsurfers and long boarders, watched by those of us more inclined to read a book.

Abundance - Slow Magazine

Romanticism, best exemplified by the poets and artists of the seventeenth century, saw a shift away from the realism and formality of the early Renaissance to a growing faith in the senses, with a focus on feelings, imagination, and the rural and natural landscape.

As I wend my way up the Palmerston Highway through the rainforests of the far north, passing through quaint country villages, interspersed with rolling hills, thundering waterfalls, and chocolate box cows contentedly grazing on verdant pastures, I can’t help but feel I have entered the realms of a world best described by the likes of Wordsworth and Keats, and visualized through the landscapes of painters such as John Constable.
