Res 80-21: KEAKEALANIWAHINE AT BANYANS (AHUPUA'A OF HOLUALOA)
TMK 7-6-014:013 Land Area (Acreage): 15,372 sq. ft.
* Banyans is the favorite surf spot for the entire island. It is famous for its annual keiki surf
contests. This sport is a Hawaiian cultural practice and it gives Hawaii people a sense of
place. There are very few undeveloped lots along the oceanfront and this one impacts the
surf community unity at large. The community managed to stop a 5 story condo, 20 feet back
1. from shoreline. We have a willing seller and we must stop building up our ocean front. It
causes erosion and pollution and makes our ocean unsafe to enjoy.
