I am stopping in HNL from 7/18-20 and right now my plan is to go up to the north shore and just rent a board and sleep in my car or a hostel or camp for a few days, soak up some rays, and then come back to the mainland.

I'm coming back from ICN (Korea) and won't be able to lug a lot of stuff like a tent with me - any suggestions? On hostelworld.com I only saw one cheap place in Haliewa (which looked awesome - $30/night), but it was a 3 night min stay and I only need two nights. (Any others???) Is there anywhere I can rent camping equipment on Oahu? Or should I just pony up the $90 for the hostel? Any issues with just sleeping in my rental car by night and surfing and beach bumming it by day? Think I can pick up a cheapo $30 tent in Malwart or CostCo and just ditch it or hand it off to an FTer when I leave?

Sorry if these seem like lazy, cheap, unresearched questions, but everything I see for good deals on accomodations, etc is near Waikiki and I don't want to be down near all that hustle and bustle. And since I'm blowing most of my moola in Korea, I won't have a ton to spend for the short stop in Oahu.

I'd appreciate any tips! I can repay you for them with stories of misadventures of my idiocy upon my return.

peace,
~Ben~
