This park, founded in the spring of 2004 boasts: two banks, a pyramid with a thigh-high hubba, a 7 foot pocket, a 7 foot quarter, a 4 foot quarter, a bowl that goes from 8 feet to 12 feet, a knee high rail to a set of euro banks, a 20-foot long manny pad and box, and a little flat ground area, and two teta bumps with a curved hubba. Small, but no big deal. The Waimea skatepark is sort of like the TF in New York: its not the best skatespot around, but EVERYONE comes here. You'll often see half the people here without even a skateboard just chilling, lurking. You'll see some rough looking people there, like this one dude Steve. He's this huge dude with these giant Hawaiian tats and this mean mug, and if you didn't know him you'd steer HELLA clear. But as soon as he smiles, you know its alllll good. Introduce yourself to him even. You might see this dude doing really technical flip-fin flip-out stuff. Thats Cano, he's legit. There might be this other dude doing giant airs and smoking a Marb red 100 at the same time. Thats Sabado, dude is hilarious. Then there might be this other dude skating in flossy gear and perpetually new shoes. Thats Jeffery. Hes quiet, but hes a ripper. That dude doing all the blunt stall variations is Steve, the dude who looks like he could kill you for fun, but who's actually pretty legit. There are a bunch of others that are there. Everyone is chill, but if you're not from there, be on your best behavior, but be outgoing. If you can skate well, thats a plus. DO NOT attempt to start shit, or you will jumped. Otherwise its all gravy. Also, the weekends and the afternoons are always on the jump off, there will be a shit load of keikis razoring around, getting in the way.
