Paia, Maui - Hawaii

Okay, so maybe it was one too many Strawberry Daiquiris on the beach at sunset… or maybe just way too many
Cheeseburgers in Paradise.  No excuses, Professor beach got FAT! 225 lbs FAT.  After years of exploring and enjoying beaches around the world it just wasn't fun anymore. No more fun because when I got to the beach I was ashamed to take off my shirt. Ever feel that way?

My last beach exploring trip to Florida really did it. I just sat in a beach chair under an umbrella. Didn't even want to swim or walk on the beach because I was just too uncomfortable in my skin. Just too much of me “in my skin”. Fast forward two months and I'm down to 205 lbs and on my way to a fit and healthy lifestyle. Join me on my pursuit of health and once again walking the beach with my shirt off.   Watch my progress and see how I did it here.

Paia (pah-ee-ah) is in Maui County, Hawaii on the northern coast of the island of Maui.   Paia is home to several restaurants, art galleries, surf shops and other tourist-oriented businesses.   One business, Charley’s, is frequented by Willie Nelson when he visits the island.   The eponymous “Fish Market” at Paia’s main intersection is moderately well known throughout the island for its Mexican and Hawaiian food.

Paia is the last town on the Hana highway when heading eastbound towards Hana.

Paia is located close to many internationally known windsurfing spots (i.E. Ho’okipa, Spreckelsville).  Therefore it is sometimes called  “The World Capital of Windsurfing”.
