Anyone interested in Hawaii?

Postby TwistedTomato » Fri Nov 06, 2015 9:38 pm

Hey guys! I currently live in Hawaii and was wondering if anyone would be down trading food/shelter/transport for kiteboarding lessons? My work schedule is really flexible, so every day with wind I can be out on the beach after about 6:30am.

I'm going to be in Michigan for the holidays, but I'm in Hawaii till December of 2016, so come whenever is convenient!

Here is my wife and I's couchsurfing profile:

It says not accepting at the moment, but get ahold of us through here or the site and lets figure this out! I really want to get on the board!

I guess the thoughts behind this idea was that someone would be coming out to take advantage of my offer and get free room and board in exchange for maybe three days of lessons. They'd have free transport to and from the beach, a free house to crash in, free food. We'd be at the beach every day by 9am at the latest, 7am on average.

So, I know they'd be on vacation here, but they'd have plenty of time to kitesurf after teaching me for a few hours a day, and after I was standing, they wouldn't be spending any time teaching me. After that it's just some tips.
