   Wassup!  Hi everybody!!  Welcome and thanks for visiting our very own web site.  For those of you who don't know who we are here's a little introduction...  Have fun!!!

                                   "Titas"

   ... a Hawaiian word that means "sisters"... the surfer girls of Makaha.  We are all "Titas".  Even though we girls may not be related, we act and treat each other as if we really were.  It's a local thing.  At Makaha, we are one big ohana or family.  It's kind of a weird feeling at first, but after a while, you get used to the idea and it's very comforting.  In fact, being with each other beats wasting time at someplace like the mall.  We all know that everyone is always keeping an eye on us.  That's how we, Titas, are able to obtain our sense of pride, attitude, and security from those who watch over us like our guardian angels.  We look after one another and will stand at each others' side no matter what happens... but of course, if things get out of control, we can always depend on our big brothers at the beach or our uncles when things get really tough. 

   For us Titas, our daily routine is simple.  We wake up early in the morning... get ready... and head down to the beach.  We have an early morning surf session before the sun comes out, to beat the crowd.  Soon, in about an hour or two of fun, the crowd starts coming.  That's when we go to eat our breakfast.  Yummy!  Mmmm... "local kine grinds" is no doubt the best!  We kick back for a while as our stomachs rest.  We give each other the scoops of everything that's been going on.  Session #2 begins when we're full of energy and can't wait to go back out for more surf n' sun!  It's almost lunch time... so we go up and get a little snack from the "manapua man".  We cruise around the beach- just talking or resting on the sand.  And right when people think that "the girls" are too tired, we jump back in the ocean for session #3.  We surf till the sun goes down and the night skies are above us.  Now, we can hardly see each other and so we know it's time to go home.  We go up and talk to some of our other friends and then we head back home.  Another whole day of surf and fun accomplished!

   It's a lot of fun being a part of the "Titas".  You get to make lots of close friends or "sisters" who share common interests with yourself.  We are all about being daughters of the ocean.  It is our life source.  It gives us so much and it teaches us many things.  We know when we're being scolded because we get "donuts", pounded by the waves, when we don't pay attention.  And, in return, the best thing we can do for the ocean is to look after it by keeping it clean. 

   We really are like sisters.  Take for example, sometimes we'll even get into arguments amongst ourselves, but we'll always make up afterwards because we really do love each other.  That's what we're all about... being sisters is being able to trust, love, protect, and care for each other because we're one big ohana..
