Dive site, springs, Pâ‘ia, Maui. On the north side of Pâ‘ia Bay. Although electric refrigerators have been in Hawai‘i for many years, the term icebox is still used occasionally in Pidgin English for refrigerator. Local divers especially use the term for dive sites where there are many edible varieties of marine life concentrated in one area. Ice Pond. Swimming site, Hilo, Hawai‘i. Natural brackish water pond at the head of Reeds Bay on the eastern side of Waiâkea Peninsula. The pond waters are a combination of salt water from the bay and springwater in the pond. During the winter months the spring water is ice-cold, giving the pond its popular name. Swimmers use several large concrete blocks at the edge of the pond as jumping platforms. These blocks are train track foundation remnants of the former Hawai‘i Consolidated Railway. Fishermen gather a special seaweed for mullet bait from the pond. Also known as Kanâkea. ‘Ihi‘ihilaukea Bridge. Fishing site, Hawai‘i Kai, O‘ahu. Bridge on Kalaniana‘ole Highway between the Lâna‘i Lookout and the Hâlona Blowhole that was constructed in 1931.

Lit., traveling pebbles of Honoli‘i. ‘Ili‘iliholo. Beach, Kama‘ole, Maui. When high surf erodes the beach during high surf, a pebble and cobblestone beach is exposed.

The outermost takeoff spot at Hanalei, from where it is almost impossible to make the wave from start to finish. Named by veteran Kauai surfer Nick Beck in the late 1950s after some children swimming by the pier asked him where he was going, and when he explained, they said it was “impossible.” 2. Surf site, Sunset Beach, O‘ahu. An extremely dangerous site in the middle of Waimea Point that is rarely surfed. The waves are almost impossible to ride except by expert surfers under the most ideal conditions. mo‘olelo Impossibles is the far-right point break outside the reef to the right of the pier looking out into the bay. When you take off really deep and make the wave all the way to the Bowl, it’s one of the longest rides I’ve ever seen or surfed. When I first started surfing it in the mid- to late fifties, some kids swimming by the pier asked me where I was going. When I told them, they said, “Eh, Nick, you no can make that wave, brah. Da place is impossible fo ride.” Well...
