Healthy...
and yours. -Oh, no, come on!
Healthy and unhealthy.
-No, no. Healthy, and then there's yours.
[laughs]
[music]
Hello from the island of Oahu in Hawaii.
We're about to experience the North Shore,
a totally different side of the island compared to Waikiki
where we started this trip.
There's a massive turtle here.
Do you realize we're in the most famous beach for surfing
in the entire world?
But first, we need to fly from Hilo, on the Big Island
to Honolulu, Hawaii's capital.
If you remember from our last video,
Hilo is the wettest city in America.
And the weather didn't give us a break.
- ♪ Every day you get a little bit of rain ♪
- Yeah. - I thought you were prepared.
I thought you brought your rain jacket and your umbrella.
- Always, baby. Always.
- Ciao - Ciao
Time to get back to Honolulu.
That's our bag getting into the plane now.
It's getting a lot of rain right now.
Oh, poor bag.
[music]
So amazing, the volcano is at the same level as you.
Look at how you can clearly tell here
that the clouds stop at the volcanoes.
They can't go over them.
Look at this. Maui
- Pilot: Just starting our descent [inaudible] 24,000 feet.
[inaudible] for flying to Honolulu this morning.
- Flight attendant: Thank you for choosing to fly Hawaiian.
Aloha and mahalo.
[music]
We basically just landed in Oahu,
got a car and drove directly to the North Shore.
This is the legendary area in Hawaii
because it was here that surf was invented.
There are Brazilians everywhere, baby.
Brazilian açaí here in Hawaii.
There are a lot of Brazilians here in Hawaii.
Some of the best surfers in the world are Brazilian.
Oh, my God!
This is so amazing.
Açaí comes with granola and banana.
Mmm.
This is delicious.
I love açaí.
Do you see right here? Here's the açaí.
It's absolutely delicious.
So what are you having?
-Loco moco, loco moco.
Picnic right by the beach in Haleiwa.
- It looks a little bit loca.
- It looks loco. [laughs]
- Healthy...
and yours. - Oh, no, come on!
Healthy and unhealthy.
-No, no, healthy, and then there is yours.
- [laughs]
Yeah, what is there? Two burger patties, right?
- Burger, eggs, rice, and gravy.
- Eggs on top, yeah.
Yeah, gravy on top of the eggs, rice.
It looks good though. It looks really good.
Is it? - Uh-hmm.
How do you describe loco moco?
- Loca.
Loco, loco, loca, loco, loca.
And do you know the meaning of loco, right?
- Crazy. - Crazy, yeah.
[laughs]
Can I try a little bit? -Uh-hmm.
-Oh, you got macaroni and cheese there, too.
-Uh-hmm, and some of the gravy.
-You got to mix it altogether? -Yes.
Mmm.
This is delicious. It's like homemade food.
Would you define it like that, like homemade food?
Totally, right?
It's very cool because a lot of beaches here in Hawaii are parks,
state parks, city, or county parks.
What that means is that there's a really nice infrastructure
with bathrooms, with parking, water to wash your feet,
and some tables like this for a picnic.
Ah, that's what you saved for me?
[laughs]
And you still want to try mine, huh?
Uh-huh.
Açaí for dessert for you, huh?
- Uh-hmm. - [laughs]
This actually, by the way, is already the first beach I want to show you.
Haleiwa Aliʻi Beach Park,
already good for surfing.
Oh, look at this kid.
Very close to downtown Haleiwa.
The town is right over there.
Do you know something very interesting about surf?
In all the Pro Leagues, they list
the name of the athlete and the country they're from,
except for Hawaii.
If you are from Hawaii, you are from Hawaii.
Other athletes from other parts of the United States,
they appear as United States, like Kelly Slater, for example.
[music]
Next beach here, Waimea.
This is Waimea Bay.
Here at the North Shore, there are three main beaches
that offer world-class surfing.
This is the first of them.
It's Waimea, the famous Waimea.
Now you're probably wondering, where are the waves?
[laughs]
There's nothing here.
That's because it's not all the time, only during winter
there's good surfing here with those giant waves.
But when there are good swells, they are big.
[music]
This break here is really only for pros.
During the rest of the year, you may come here
and the ocean is flat.
Oh, wow.
This is it.
Do you realize we're in the most famous beach for surfing
in the entire world?
- Really? - Yes, this is Pipeline!
- Oh. - [laughs]
Actually, Pipeline is not the name of the beach.
The beach is called Ehukai Beach.
Pipeline is the name of the point break, or better, the reef break.
Here the waves break on the reefs.
That's why it's so fascinating because it is really dangerous.
[music]
Oh, my God!
And it's a girl!
It's amazing how big waves break right here,
close to the beach.
Look at that.
Wow.
[music]
How brave are you? Would you have the courage?
- For what? - To surf here.
- Well, I think they're a little bit big, aren't they for a beginner?
-Yeah. [laughs]
This is definitely not a place for beginners.
And we're not even here during the height of the season, you know.
The highlight for surfing here is November, December, January.
Actually, Pipeline is considered the deadliest wave in the world.
And what a privilege to be able to see surfing going on here.
[music]
-Where are you going?
-Got to touch the water, baby.
This place is iconic. Once in a lifetime.
It drops like this.
[music]
I could stay here for hours.
These guys and girls are so talented.
And it is so fun to watch.
Imagine what a nightmare it might be to park here
during the championships.
- Oh, they probably have buses that come out.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
"Dangerous shorebreak."
And one final beach for today...
Here the last of the top three most famous surf beaches.
This is Sunset Beach,
where the waves are ginormous during winter.
30 feet high, that's 9 meters.
Can you imagine that?
That is crazy. That is so crazy.
[music]
In the world of surfing, there's a very famous event
called the Triple Crown of Surfing.
It chooses the best surfers in three different beaches here
on the North Shore.
Haleiwa Aliʻi Beach Park,
Pipeline, and here, Sunset Beach.
And the reason for these three
is because they bring different challenges for the surfer.
You got to be good in different waves, different strategies.
[music]
These are not urban beaches,
basically just the beaches, some green,
and you got to drive from one to the next.
There are not many places selling things here.
So when you come here, you got to bring your water,
bring some snacks, otherwise, you're gonna be hungry
if you spend the whole day at the beach.
And on the North Shore, not everything is about surfing.
You can enjoy these beaches during most of the year.
After Sunset Beach, there are even a few quieter beaches,
like Turtle Bay.
And talking about turtles, we're driving back,
as we'll try to see one.
A quick stop here at Laniakea Beach
to see if there are any turtles today.
This is known as Turtle Beach.
Normally, you can see turtles coming here.
No way, how lucky,
there's a massive turtle here.
Oh.
This is probably a 4 to 5 feet long turtle.
I'm not getting any closer, and this is what you should do
when you come to a place like this,
and you see a turtle in her natural habitat
to give her her space.
And it is so beautiful to see.
She doesn't even care that I'm here.
She's probably very used already to seeing humans.
She doesn't even care.
She's not afraid, she's not afraid.
She's not even moving.
Actually, she appears to be sleeping.
We then drove to Waikiki. It's about an hour away.
And finally, checked into the hotel for our last night in Hawaii.
This is the Hilton Garden Inn Waikiki Beach.
Hawaii is really what everyone says about it.
It is so beautiful.
People are friendly. It is expensive.
And the islands are totally different from each other.
Oahu, where we are right now, and where Honolulu
and all the most famous attractions are located,
is more crowded, more touristy,
although there's a calmer side as well.
But Waikiki in a way reminds me of Las Vegas,
although there's a major difference here.
Gambling is illegal in the entire Hawaii.
My impression on Maui is that it's a mix of sophistication and adventure.
And the Big Island of Hawaii is a total wild adventure.
All three islands we've been are totally worth a visit.
We saw three islands, now we need to see Kauai.
When are you bringing me back?
- Oh, the fourth island. - Yes.
- I don't know. - Well, whenever I choose then?
- Maybe.
We need to see Kauai now.
- So you're agreeing with me? - Yeah.
- Oh.
- When are you bringing me back?
- 2027.
- Oh, come on. No!
And do you know what? Hawaii has the longest life expectancy
of any U.S. state.
Almost 80 years on average.
They really know how to live life.
Aloha, Hawaii.
That's the pronunciation in Hawaiian.
Mahalo for the great time.
[laughs]
Big Island of Hawaii [speaking Portuguese]
Gordon, we need to see Kauai now. When are you bringing me back?
Oh.
[laughs]
When are you bringing me back?
- I don't know.
- Whenever I choose? - No.
- [laughs]
-When I choose.
- How do you dare saying that?
[laughs]
