“It’s an absolutely epic experience being in this property’s embrace," says Tom Carroll.
Five months after slashing the sale price of his Lanikea joint by $3.5 mill, twenty down to sixteen five in a desperate big to get a little movement, Kelly Slater has opened the door to a house so magnificent Tom Carroll says,
“It’s an absolutely epic experience being in this property’s embrace.”
Gorgeous Honolulu realtor Tiffany Mika Chen of Sothebys International Realty, LA-raised Tiffany’s also a yoga teacher and a member of the International Tandom Surfing Association, was recently gifted a walk-through of 61-785 Papaiola Road, Haleiwa.

The eleven-time world champion and daddy of two, daughter Taylor and newborn Tao, bought the six-bedroom, 7.5-bathroom house for a little under eight mill in 2017.
Despite the sprawling beachfront compound’s myriad delights, it has failed to generate any serious interest hence the 17.5% discount.
That buyer paid $143 for every square foot; at sixteen-and-a-half-mill it’s over two gees a square foot.
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 that will reward the intrepid surfer who ain’t afraid to brave the paddle that is also home to the less-than-friendly Hawaiian tiger shark.
If you like lefts, just around the headland is a joint called Jockos.
Also, friendly turtles patrol the shallows. Don’t ride ’em.
