"This home and neighborhood hold the keys to an adventurous future on the North Shore of Oahu."
If you’re shopping for a beachfront house on the North Shore, you’ll find it hard to go past former rookie of the year Freddie Patacchia Jnr’s pretty yellow joint at 59-155 Ke Nui Rd, Sunset, listed for $US2,495,000.
Fred, who is thirty-eight and who retired spectacularly at the Trestles event in 2015 after a ten-point ride in round one, bought the house for $US730,000 in 2001.
Beachfront home ownership hasn’t been without its rainy days, however.
In October 2013, while competing at the Rip Curl Pro in Peniche, Portugal, Fred got the news that half of his swimming pool had fallen into the ocean, a victim of the natural movement and erosion of the beachfront shoreline.
Fred’s daddy, Fred Snr, told Hawaii News Now, “We’ve asked for help and no help came … We were telling them that if we don’t get something soon we’re in dire straits. At 10:30, the pool fell. It collapsed … We lost our entire beachfront. It took a chunk out 100 feet wide by 50-feet deep. That’s close to 5,000 square feet.”
In 2020, the pool is gone, the front of the joint is shored up, and you can step straight into a front-row seat at the North Shore’s third best wave.
The sales pitch is compelling.
Watch the lineup at Sunset Beach from your front porch or ride along the bike path just steps from your door to Ted’s Bakery for a bite. Hop into one of the soaking tubs or opt for a outdoor shower when you return from hiking, diving, fishing, or surfing neighboring Pipeline or Rocky Point. This home and neighborhood hold the keys to an adventurous future on the North Shore of Oahu.
You get parking for four cars, six beds, seven bathrooms on 10,000 square feet. Property tax is around twenty gees.

I spend rather too much time examining real estate websites, here, the US, but mostly, Hossegor and surrounds. A terrific way to murder a day.
Shhh….I provided the tip.
Nick Woodman bought a glorious piece of property at Rocky Point several years ago and it remains undeveloped.
Hear ELo is already bidding at 3million.
i like freddy, but damn, how much was he getting paid during his career to afford that? the taxes and insurance have to be insane on this.
Down size opportunity for BeachGrit HQ
Better value up the. Valley.
Still really nice place.
Bit a turn off too wake up look out and see Job dressed in Lucia as a duck waiting to paddle out with a full camera crew .
But that’s ok….his making a honest pro surfer living
I love a bakery pie when going on a road trip in the country.
Could be koala.
Could be anything if you think about it… usually the meat is beef, I presume.
Gimme a buck a word O’Rielly and I’ll dish you 500 golden ones on the sordid backstory of this rolling dumpster fire at Kammieland. I’ll even name names, squeeze nuts and show no mercy.
How bout a t-shirt per word?
I’ll put in a few bob to set up an in-house brewery and growery, as long as we can have some runner ducks…
smart kid to buy: God only made so much beachfront real estate, even if you lose the pool.
wonder why he’s selling.
I sniff a tax debt.
It’s been on air bnb for a minute..gotta pay tax on that https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Dubai, China etc

i want oil!! give me some fucking oil!!
How about a
Please?
Rape and pillage
I smell the end of a pro surfing career without a decent education, mediocrity in the commentary box and a dwindling checking account. Welcome to reality son because for the rest of your life, it will never taste that good again.
Freddie P, overpaid as a kid and never really got over that (or his own ego for that matter) , don’t worry I see a sales rep job in the future
I think they’re drying up
Your Mate Bunker playfully attempted to troll me yesterday.
I explained about my role here and how email & IP addresses are linked to even anonymous handles.
10 minutes later he dropped nuts and deleted his account.
he’ll be back, he’s having too much fun kicking me in the nuts.
I hope so… Once he got past the jizzed up Newbie phase I think he’d fit in well.
“Steps away from Teds Bakery”
Oh man… A thousand steps back!
But that pie is worth it.
Oh man !! So good!!
I like that the billionaires are fighting. Seems healthy, no?
Fun fact about the Titanic’s pool, it’s still full of water.
His post gets a lot of attention.
Lucky guy.
Lip service?
I’m a strange creature who gathers with other strange creatures to engage in peculiar mating rites.
Ever get strangers remorse?
He gave mother nature a good old payback at Snapper in 2015, smacking that rock sure showed her!
it’s like craigslist, but glamorous
“Lifestyles of the Surfing and Famous” hosted by Derek Leach
surfing seems lucrative, I might try it.
Nope, didnt work.
5000 hawaiian sq feet lost
Does that really mean 15000sq feet
No. The formula you’re thinking of only applies to wave height. In this case, you must go the opposite direction. 5000 Hawaiian sq feet lost is really 1000 sq. feet.
Makes sense.
Sense like putting the pool in your front yard.
Good joke mate.
Boring place to live.
whoever actually buys it won’t spend more than a few weekends a year there
Tech weirdos probly.
Oh! Not when the Llama lived near by.. Once upon a time had Jay Adams as near by neighbor. The Ho’s, Bushman one block east.One of Willis bros to the west. Fast Eddie scoping the chic who lived across the street. Place was hopping! Felt safer surfing out back than walking to Ted’s at night..
Fair nuff.
I like a big city myself.
Way too many dudes
