As I recall from the magazine article, the site was Waipio valley,
which is across the island (on the northeast side - Kona is on the
West, slightly to the south). Being on the east, it has a better shot
at the trades than Kona. The place to sail on the big island is
supposed to be off the southern tip.
Waipio valley is well worth seeing, even if you don't sail. The road
down to it is 1 mile long, and even though it is paved and in
excellent shape, it is so steep it still requires 4 wheel drive. It
drops something like 1000 feet in 1 mile.

Jeff, I'm not sure which month it was. It was this year, probably June or
later. The sailing site is up the coast (east?) from Kona. It's near the
valley where the end of "Waterworld" was shot. Getting in requires a 4wd. The
guys who wrote the article took their own gear, they are from Maui. Rental
gear may be hard to find. I'm probably going to be there at Christmas, I'll
see what else I can find out.
:D
