Pickleball on The Big Island
Aloha Pickleballers -
We finally had enough of the cold San Francisco summer and fled to the “Big Island” - Hawaii’s largest and youngest island. It still has active volcanoes and a very active pickleball scene.
Our initial plan was to research “The Best Places to Play Pickleball on the Big Island.” However, after our first evening on the court, it was clear we weren’t checking out any other pickleball spots. We found pickleball heaven….
As luck would have it, at our first stop we discovered 16 newly surfaced dedicated pickleball courts.
Hands down the nicest people we met in Hawaii were all at Big Island Rogue Pickleball located at Holua Racquet & Paddle. Lea and Mike Carey do an amazing job running regular play, round-robins, tournaments, and open play. The round-robin we played on Saturday had 5 full flights ranging from 3.0 to 4.5.
And yes, we represented Simply Pickleball well by bringing home the gold! We highly recommend it to other pickleball players, and we’re going back…soon.
In other news, we released another fascinating interview. Professional pickleball player and mom Lindsey Newman has made a name for herself in the pickleball tournament scene.
She plays and dominates professional pickleball tournaments with her brother, Riley Newman. Where did the Newman's come from and how did they rise up the pickleball tournament ranks so quickly? Check out the interview below and let us know what you think…
