The turtles around the Hawaiian Islands are so graceful it's a real treat to see them checking you out as you kite by them. Only thing is look out because they are so use to seeing people up close and they aren't scared of people. Hitting one of them while riding would be like hitting a rock. I've scene some as long as 4ft. and some babies as small a foot. One thing I've learned out here is sharks eat turtles.....
