LAIE, Hawaii — Take a drive around the paradise that is the North Shore and prepare to be captivated by the lush, green vegetation and ocean views that are stunningly gorgeous.

The North Shore on the Hawaiian island of Oahu is home to some of the world’s most famous surfing spots, like Sunset Beach and Banzai Pipeline, and it’s home to one of the Aloha State’s most popular tourist attractions, the Polynesian Cultural Center.

It’s also home to one of the nation’s top high school football programs — Kahuku High.

Along the Kamehameha Highway that hugs the coast of the North Shore, Kahuku High Red Raider flags are abundant, an outward sign of unwavering support for a program that perennially is one of the top prep programs in Hawaii.
