Best Place to Eat on the North Shore – Opal Thai – Haleiwa, Hi

After a lot of searching we finally found the best place to eat on the North Shore. This food truck turned restaurant was the perfect place to grab a bite after a long day at the beach. Incredible food and service made this place stand out on our 7 Days on the 7 Mile Miracle excursion.

When ordering our food the server and owner, Opal prompted us to put down our menus and tell him what exactly we were craving. Instead of having us blindly pick items on the menu, he custom tailored the meal to our liking and told us to run across the street to grab some beers. After returning with some coldies, Opal put our beverages in the back fridge, cracked one of his own, and joined us in a toast. The restaurant really felt like a home away from home. Slater and Cunningham knew what was up and also dined here the night before the Pipemasters.

If you are in Haleiwa you need to stop by this place. You won’t be disapointed. It’s located next to the Longs Drugstore in town.

The place is pretty new (2 months or so) and unlisted on Google Maps. Also the Yelp! address may be incorrect! It can be found in this general area http://bit.ly/rUUKYF

It’s Back (Get It?)…the 2012 Miss Reef Calendar


It’s the gift you’ve been waiting for all year….the 2012 Reef Girl Calendar. And this year, it’s not just a locker lining (although we’d bet you the SWELL site that it ends up in many-a-school-locker this year). This Miss Reef, version 2.0, is bigger, better, and more suited for your coffee table. Luckily for you, it is still contraindicated for work coffee table use- depending on said work place of course. Behold: the magical gift that you can enjoy, and your mom/girlfriend can evil-eye, for (at minimum) 12 glorious months. Wow, you’re really reading this instead of replaying the video?! Kudos to you. Get yours (and plenty of extras for friends, stocking stuffers and creepy uncles): the 2012 Miss Reef Calendar
