Talk:Peahi, Hawaii

Proposed merge
Pe'ahi (Hawaiian for "wave"), aka Jaws (formerly known as "Domes") is not a beach; it's a wave break. Hawaiians refer to it as "Pe'ahi". Jaws (beach) should be merged into Peahi, Hawaii as the former is a duplicate of the latter, as well as a double misnomer. It may be acceptable to use the article name Peahi (Jaws), although some may disagree. Peahi, Hawaii appears to be part of Haiku-Pauwela, Hawaii. &mdash;Viriditas | Talk 12:05, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Jaws location
From what I'm finding, it seems that the location of Jaws is actually closer to Pauwela than is is to Peahi. Seems one photographer uses "Peahi Point" as the location..., More research needed. --Travis Thurston+ 21:20, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

To add another twist, it seems that Peahi is within the Haiku-Pauwela CDP in. Perhaps a multiple merge is in order?--Travis Thurston+ 21:25, 28 November 2010 (UTC)


 * I would resist merging into the CDP article, since there is a good chance the CDP boundaries will change with the 2010 census. It certainly would make sense mentioning Jaws in the CDP article with a link. There are many precedents of articles about things inside of CDPS that have their own article (e.g. all the Honolulu neighborhood articles) if they are independently notable. The CDP from my experience is more known for its Alexander & Baldwin associations, for example (although I hear that A&B owns the land behind Jaws too!).


 * I too was confused about actual location. The current Jaws article has it at what GNIS calls Kealii Point, which is even east of the Peahi geographical place, which seems a gultch not a point nor bay I can find. That was probably a guess? I think the trails.com location is too far to the west. I think it is somewhere in between, my guess on the large reef seen in the USGS map, marked as Kapukaulua point. Need to make clear (with sources) the Hawaiian-language pun on the nearby area. W Nowicki (talk) 18:29, 29 November 2010 (UTC)


 * I think a mention of the neighborhood Peahi (part of the Haiku CDP) in the intro is a good idea. Also, I found what could be potentially the "actual" location of Jaws on the Surfline site. --Travis Thurston+ 21:25, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks that is just a bit farther off shore than I put it, which actually makes sense since the photos from the cliff show the break fairly far out to sea. But I think the coords in the current Jaws beach [sic] article are wrong.

On a related point, are you 100% sure the picture is at Jaws? The bit of foliage in it makes me think it might be Mavericks, and the flickr description does not say, but it is "tagged" with Peahi. W Nowicki (talk) 01:48, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
