An experienced body surfer at Waimea Bay near Kahuku putting on his fins as he eyes the surfI came to Hawaii to assist in gaining governmental approval for Continental Pacific's proposed development plan for Kahuku Village. Kahuku is a region of Oahu on the northeast coast and part of the famed North Shore. Kakuku Village was originally a plantation town serving as home to the families of the sugar cane plantation workers.
Continental Pacific acquired the entire village in 2006. It consists of 72 occupied village homes and the Kahuku golf links plus a beautiful slice of Pacific Ocean shoreline.
The primary development proposal centers around an affordable housing plan as a quid pro quo for the development of 18 oceanfront lots and 12 adjoining country lots by which Continental Pacific proposes to sell the 72 homes to those occupying them for an average sales price of just $75,000 which is some $300,000 below market pricing even though many of the structures are substandard with cesspools, poor roadways and inadequate flood drainage.
Here are a few pictures taken at Kahuku:

Ah, the "Keep Kahuku Country" signage; this is a village of activists
The entrance to Kahuku High School which has turned out many NFL football players
