New Years here is like the 4th of July on speed. Everyone buys a shitload of fireworks and lights them off all day long, then at night they have a HUGE fireworks show off a barge in front of Waikiki. The beach is lined with thousands of people, its pretty cool.
Me and some buddies got on surfboards and paddled out halfway between the fireworks barge and Waikiki beach with a bottle of champagne and watched the show from the best seat in town, on surfboards with a toast. In front of us was the 30 minute fireworks show and if we turned around we saw the beach lined with people 5 or 6 people deep and thousands of camera flashes going off.
It was a pretty fun night.
