Kauai Crossfit, Lihue, HI

Final day of vacation on Kauai.  I had heard about Kauai Crossfit (www.kauaicrossfit.com) from a number of folks, so wanted to make sure we got in a WOD.  John Tucker the owner/coach was out of town, but he had Amanda Smith coaching in his absence.  Amanda is regularly a coach at Crossfit Poipu. 
Kauai CF has a great facility with plenty of space and equipment.  As with all of the Crossfits on Kauai, our class was full of fellow Crossfit tourists.  They are very welcoming to drop ins.
Amanda started class with some very good hip mobility to get us ready for the strength and WOD.
Strength was 5x (1,1,1) at 80% - Deadlift, Squat Clean, Front Squat.
WOD was a 12 min AMRAP - 200m run, 3 Push Press, 6 Thrusters, 9 Slams, 12 TTB
If you are traveling to Kauai and looking to get in a WOD, definitely stop by.  The location is near the airport and easy to find.  Bring an extra shirt because the combination of WOD and humidity will have you soaked.

Crossfit Kapa'a, Kapaa, HI

If you are vacationing in Kauai and need to get your Crossfit fix, make sure to try out Crossfit Kaapa (www.crossfitkapaa.com)  Crossfit Kaapa is located 7.5 miles north of Lihue Airport on the east side of Kauai.  My family and I visited July 3rd and met the owner/coach Cory Miller.  As we have come to expect, we received a very warm Hawaiian welcome from both the coach and crew.
Class started with some excellent mobility (learned some new stuff that I plan to incorporate in my classes) and then moved onto Front Squats for strength and Fran for the WOD.
The box is a little small, but has all the equipment you could need and the coaching was very good.  Looking forward to going back for the 4th of July "Murica" celebration WOD,
