The North Shore culture revolves around surfing. I passed by Chas' bench on the path I used to frequent when we lived in Pupukea. After some googling I found the story of a young surfer, Chas Chidester, beloved by family and friends and the community. In addition to being an excellent surfer, he was addicted to drugs which took his life. This bench commemorates his life and those who loved him. This path connects Sunset Beach to Rocky Point and Three Tables. Ehukai, or Pipeline, is right in the middle.
