Description
Each winter, Oahu's rugged North Shore serves up some of the largest and imposing ocean waves on the planet. Giant, storm-generated swells make their long trek across the northern Pacific to batter reef breaks and the area's shoreline.
Due to its natural beauty, proximity to Honolulu, and large waves, the North Shore is a popular area for filming. The Fox Network TV show North Shore was filmed in the area, as were the last few seasons of Baywatch. ABC's Lost was also filmed almost entirely on O'ahu, with much of it filmed on the North Shore. The area of Turtle Bay features rock formations and constant rolling surf, making it ideal as a backdrop for Lost.
The North Shore was also the setting for the movies North Shore, Blue Crush, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, as well as being fictionalized for the animated film Surf's Up.
The sixth episode of the first season of the CBS series Hawaii Five-0 was set on the North Shore and titled "Koʻolauloa", the Hawaiian-language term for the area.
The original photograph was made with a Canon 5D MkIII camera prior to the applications of the secret herbs & spices...
