Located on the most coveted street on the North Shore of Oahu, this exclusive beachfront estate is the premier offering in Haleiwa, Hawai’i.
The hottest news on the North Shore is the surprise listing of Kelly Slater’s sprawling Laniakea compound for twenty mill, almost triple what he paid for it seven years ago.
A Pipeline man through and through and with his own sprawling Pipeline “super compound”, an amalgamation of two beachfront homes, Kelly Slater had initially offered the six-bedroom, eight-shitter manor at 61-785 Papailoa Rd Haleiwa, HI 96712 for rent at $46,000 per month.
Kelly Slater bought the joint for $7.8 mill in 2017 after it had listed one year earlier for twenty-two mil.
An examination of its price history on Zillow reveals Kelly Slater listed it for rent in 2018 for 80k a month, dropped it to 72k in 2019, 59k in 2019 before sitting on 45k in 2020. No word if anyone actually took up the rental, even at the cut-price rate of 10k a week.
Now, yours for twenty mill or thereabouts.



Located on the most coveted street on the North Shore of Oahu, this exclusive beachfront estate is the premier offering in Haleiwa, Hawai’i. Set on an oceanfront lot traversing over a half acre, this compound encompasses elegant living while embracing the barefoot luxury lifestyle of the North Shore.
Stepping into this private sanctuary, soaring ceilings and an expansive open floor plan invite stunning ocean views throughout the interior, epitomizing the Hawaiian ethos of indoor-outdoor living. Comprised of a main home and two large guest homes perfectly situated, designed with both privacy and entertaining in mind, the oceanfront property embraces wellness, an active lifestyle, and relaxation with an infinity edged pool, hot tub nestled into the mature tropical landscape, plus miles of beaches and community paths closeby.
Situated along the esteemed Papailoa Road, the residence delivers more than just a prestigious address—it offers an unparalleled experience of Hawai’i. For those in pursuit of an oasis of a home that encapsulates the essence of island elegance and peace, this private sanctuary stands alone.
If you didn’t know, Laniakea is a little way off the super highway traffic of Pipeline, Rockies and Sunset. It’s back on the western side of Waimea Bay and is a raw righthand point break. If you want to skew left, across the headland going north is Jocko’s, which is fun as hell. A few tiger sharks around these parts chasing turtles, if you like wildlife too.

I truly appreciate his prose and the way he eloquently weaves a steely dan lyric into his posts
can somebody explain what 61-785 Papailoa Rd means so I don’t have to look it up….the 61 is what number and the 785 is what other number?
No idea but baseless guesses on the internet will often bait the right info:
Maybe one of the numbers is the road/route/highway number, the other is address. Maybe it’s leftover from when there was less stuff up there.
It could also be a recordkeeping thing with deeds, where it’s the 61st subdivision/subplot of plot 785 or something.

I lived down the road decades ago. All rural addresses especially on or near Kamehameha Highway have such numbering. Continuous mailing addresses that work even on side streets like the one the goat lives on.
Learnt my lesson hard , beach front is great until you have to start sharing it.

Farken wow ! I’d like to see a correlation between the hamsammish guy and how many times old collectable cars break down in Miami
Looks ok, but probs not suitable as BG’s North Shore compound. If it was his Pipe compound thennnnnn maybe. Y’know, we need to be close to Pipe because of how hard we all charge. Aye.
8 shitters huh?
Perfect for Felipe toledo when he gets the runs when pipe is pumping
“The squeem tour”
If only we knew a realtor…..
We shall pray for a quick sale, and the birth of our savior, cause diapers aint cheap brah!🙏🏽.,…
I still prefer the Nick Woodman property at Rockies.
This is the latest news today

Who knows what’s next ?
Probably taking tequila shots, smoking a Marlboro and looking at girls asses through his telescope.
Haha , nice!
I’m starting to feel lost without our king of prose- Dane! When will his timeout end and will an article be written to detail the reason for this painfully long ban?
It’s sorta like WSL judging. Winners, losers, some tears, some tanty’s. Shit just happens and no one really knows the how’s and the why’s.
THIS can be the theme of the article! Maybe Budweiser Zero can be the sponsor of the article?
😂
Jocko’s is “fun as hell”?
I’ve almost drowned there more than once
Had a near end of life just up @ Alligator Rock!
It’s settled then. Kelly Jr. will be raised and homeschooled in San Clemente
In four years he’ll be pushed into waves at lowers. Never ending story.
Kelly Jr.: Dad, can I be part of the 2%?
Kelly: No son. Kolohe started 2% and he never won a CT. It’s a loser’s club.
Kelly Jr.: But Griff and Cole have won CTs.
Kelly: Ok, you can join the 2% when their members collectively win more CTs than daddy did. At this rate, it’ll take them over 30 years.
Or maybe he’ll hang with the agro groms and their ever protective dads at Salt.
ugh. The gravels groms
I find great joy in watching the dads flex and bark on the beach there.
Is it bad nowadays?
Haven’t been there since last Nov, but it has always bene entertaining. I also wonder if the storms washed out the sand bars but that won’t stop the dads from being agro
Dad can buy a rather nice place east of the 5 with the proceeds of the Laniakea property, but will his nanny be able to drive him to the beach?
3%
NO!!!! PLEASE NO!
Even if that were true, what’s the connection or coincidence?
Rip off. I’ll take a nice house in Belvedere any day of the week.
