Grab a Jeep & take a tent, and stay for free out at Polihale Beach. End of the road, out on the West Side.

Mate if you really want to blow your mind and budget,stay at The Princeville Resort as I did in 07.
5 minute drive to Pine Trees

Mac is that on the south side I'm there in July ? I need to find a place as well.

Is the South side best for surf this time of year ?

No waves up north,but a few down south when we were there September.

Mate I had a 9.1 longboard,no worries back then,got to love Hawaiian Airlines,they really cater for the ocean lovers25 minute up and down fight.

But please check,it was 07,man I got to go back soon.I travel to Indo four times a year mixing work with holiday's and I am over it and all this talk has lit the fire to go back to Paradise,dam best holiday I've ever had.

Hey Rob,
Maybe stay a few nights at Princeville and a few at the Marriott.
Depends on how many nights your on Kauai I guess?

Princeville is good as said. Right at Hanalei Bay which is a super cool place and
the wave can be awesome off the point there. Deep water in the middle, makes it easy to get out when its big. You can see Puff the Magic Dragon there too!!!!!

The Marriott is not far from the Airport and is in its own little Bay/Cove.
The swell comes into the cove and makes a super fun wave mainly on the public side of the cove. You would have a field day with your camera from your balcony of your room!!!!!
I have a few paddling contacts on Kauai if you need to know more....
Rowdy.
PS...will I fit in your suit case???

Those Fish Taco's are amazing not sure if is tuesday or thursday night though,I went every week for months, Can't really help with accomodation as i've always stayed with a mate there,Princeville is a very white American Resort style setup, You could check Kilauea 10-15mins east of Hanaleii,Be cheaper than staying up at the Bay.

South side is very commercialised with all the big hotels the north is a lot more small townish. When I was there in 07 it was the first time in all my travels I din't book accommodation before I left and took a punt. Result: ended up driving around for 5 hours trying to find somewhere.

There is a place in Hanalei Bay that does awesome fish tacos (the food kind).
