November Experiences
Does the idea of summer ending make you cringe or does the idea of traveling during tourist season not sound appealing to you? Why not reschedule your summer vacation to November when it is pleasantly warm, not crowded and will give you the rejuvenation needed to get you through the holidays. Our November Experiences will do just that plus we have a variety of Experiences with different timelines and skill levels to suit every need. If a wellness vacation mixed with adventure is just what you need, then give yourself a gift by checking out http://www.swellwomen.com/rates.html and booking your Experience today or e-mail info@swellwomen.com.

Do you have a fear of sharks?
As a general rule sharks do not eat people. Sharks are the garbage collectors of the ocean and they play an important part in keeping our oceans clean. Sharks have electromagnetic sensors on their snout and they can detect our body vibrations (aura) from great distances. Sharks are attracted to the impulses put off from injured and sick animals. They can also detect blood from a great distance, but cutting your foot on a coral reef or menstruating does not put out the type of vibration to cause a shark to attack.
The original Hawaiians felt that large sharks were protectors of swimmers and surfers because sharks are our reincarnated ancestors (Aumakua). As a biologist I see much more truth in this belief than I do in any facts presented for the argument that sharks east people. In the past 20 years, ten times as my people died from falling coconuts than from shark bites.

Swell Q&A

Dear SwellWomen,
I was wondering why you don't have any Experiences in the summer time. Is this not an ideal time to learn how to surf on Maui?
Thanks, Lisa

Aloha Lisa,
The summer time is also a wonderful time to learn how to surf on Maui. In fact, Maui is very conducive to beginners all year around and especially on the west side of Maui where SwellWomen is located. Our accommodations weren't available for the summer of 2004, however we will be offering several Summer of 2005 SwellWomen and SwellMates Experiences. In the meantime, if you are planning to come to Maui in the summer we offer surf and yoga 4-hour workshops daily from 8:30am-12:30pm Monday thru Friday or 2- hour surf lessons for both private and group Monday thru Friday.. To book your lesson, please call 808.281.8664 and mention SwellWomen.
Mahalo,
SwellWomen
