Download or read book Eddie Would Go written by Stuart Holmes Coleman and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2004-02-07 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This biography of legendary Hawaiian surfer Eddie Aikau is “a homespun homage to a modern-day folk hero” (Outside Magazine). In the 1970s, a decade before bumper stickers and T-shirts bearing the phrase Eddie Would Go began popping up all over the Hawaiian islands and throughout the surfing world, Eddie Aikau was proving what it meant to be a “waterman.” As a fearless and gifted surfer, he rode the biggest waves in the world; as the first and most famous Waimea Bay lifeguard on the North Shore, he saved hundreds of lives from its treacherous waters; and as a proud Hawaiian, he sacrificed his life to save the crew aboard the voyaging canoe Hokule’a. From Stuart Holmes Coleman, Eddie Would Go is the “fascinating” story of Eddie Aikau’s life and legacy, a pipeline into the exhilarating world of surfing, and an important chronicle of the Hawaiian Renaissance and the emergence of modern Hawaii (San Francisco Chronicle). “Enlightening . . . an impressive history.” —Surfing Magazine “A meaningful biography of a surfing hero . . . extraordinary.” —San Diego Union-Tribune “Coleman, a surfer himself, does an admirable job of de-mystifying this remarkable man.” —St. Petersburg Times

Download or read book Wave Response of Kikiaola Harbor Kauai Hawaii written by Edward F. Thompson and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army Engineer Division, Pacific Ocean, is evaluating possible improvements to Kikiaola Harbor, Kauai, Hawaii. Objectives include (a) reducing shoaling in the entrance and harbor, and (b) reducing the frequency of occurrence of breaking waves near the harbor entrance. The Pacific Ocean Division requested that the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station numerically study two proposed plans for improvement, including modifications to the existing entrance (Plan 1) and an extended east breakwater affording vessel access to the harbor from the west rather than the south (Plan 6). Wind wave and swell conditions were studied in the existing and plan harbors. The standard criterion for wave height in berthing areas was satisfied by all of the harbor configurations. The plan configurations generally satisfied the standard criterion for entrance and access channels except the most seaward part of the entrance channel slightly exceeded the criterion. The existing entrance failed to meet the criterion. Harbor oscillations were studied in only the existing and Plan 6 harbors. Both configurations are free of oscillation problems inside the harbor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fierce Heart is the biography of a community and a portrait of its people.

What connects them is a love for their culture, their people, and various kinds of water sports. Fierce Heart combines stories of exciting big wave surfing competitions, dramatic water rescues, deep friendships, and touching family portraits with a look at the history and origins of one of the world's most thrilling extreme sports.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Port Allen Harbor, located on the southern coast of the island of Kauai, is protected from the open ocean by a single nibble-mound breakwater. Severe tropical storms in past years have damaged this structure, reducing the most seaward 66 ft of breakwater length to a submerged mound. To evaluate the impact of the shortened breakwater on harbor protection, primarily against wind waves and swell, the HARBD model was employed using incident wave conditions with periods between 6 sec and 20 sec. Approach directions ranged from 112.5 deg to 239.5 deg, the full range of directions seen by the harbor. A high-resolution finite element grid (38,000 elements) was generated with new automated software. The HARBD model produced wave amplification factors for 20 locations throughout the harbor basin. Following runs representing both the original and shortened breakwater lengths, these factors were evaluated using both recently developed visualization software and new interpretation methods. This approach allowed quantitative conclusions about the benefits of restoring the damaged breakwater back to its original length. The study indicates that a small measure of extra protection is provided by the original breakwater length relative to the existing condition. The extra protection would reduce wave heights by a maximum of 5 percent. Finite element, Kauai, Wave refraction, Harbor, Numerical modeling, Wave response, Hawaii, Port Allen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Present and projected commercial activities in Kahului Harbor, Maui, Hawaii, indicate that new berths for barge and passenger ship operations will be needed. Deepening of the main harbor areas from 35 ft to 38 ft is also anticipated. The U.S. Army Engineer Division, Pacific Ocean, in coordination with the Harbors Division, Department of Transportation, State of Hawaii, requested field wave measurements and numerical (computer) model studies in support of long term planning. Field measurements were collected over a period of 18 months at a deepwater directional buoy, a directional array outside the harbor, and four gages inside the harbor. The numerical model, validated with field measurements for short waves (wind waves and swell) and long waves (harbor oscillations), was used to evaluate the technical feasibility of 11 alternative modifications to the harbor. Model results were compared to experience in the existing harbor and to general criteria for operational acceptability. A physical model study is recommended as a final phase of developing harbor modification plans.
Download or read book Surfing in Hawai i 1778 1930 written by Timothy Tovar Delavega and published by Arcadia Library Editions. This book was released on 2011-06 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the early European explorers traversed the globe, their journals held numerous accounts of Hawaiians enjoying surfing. Since Europeans of that era were not accustomed to swimming in their own cold waters, it must have seemed like a dream to watch naked native Hawaiians riding the waves of a turbulent sea. Nowhere in the ancient world was surfing as ingrained into the culture as on the islands of Hawai'i. He'e nalu (wave sliding) was the national sport and enjoyed by all. When a swell was up, whole villages were deserted as everyone fled to the beach to test their surfing skills. Legends of famous surf riders were retold in mele (song/chant), and fortunes could be decided on the outcome of a surfing contest. From these shores, modern surfing was born, along with the iconic romantic images of bronzed surfers, grass shacks, and hula.
