Maui’s Waves Photo uploaded by

Good thing there’s the Hawaii Lifeguard Association to help you out! They’re created , watches, and anything else to be cautious of before you head out to the beach. From wind, waves, and those pesky jellyfish, they’ve got the spectrum covered. Since you should also always swim with a lifeguard present, they also provide this for your safety.
Here’s to your family’s fun and safety!

Hakeakala Crater Photo uploaded by
Though tomorrow’s event is closed to runners, there’s still time to check it out at a spectator. This grueling 36-mile marathon takes long-distance runners up the switchback of Haleakala Crater to its 10,000-foot summit.
