Catlin Quarterpipe
Somewhat Public
Cost: Free
Hours: All days, no lights
These cookie cutter quarterpipes started to pop up around 1988. Built within military housing districts these quarterpipes were designed for the late 80's skate boom. Of the 5 randomly placed quarterpipes the Catlin Quarterpipe is definitely the most popular, it is the smoothest and the easiest to find.

It seems all of the quarterpipes are about 5' high with a little under 5' trannies, and 16' wide. Catlin has the best transition (no kinks). If you like quick transitions, these quarterpipes are for you. It makes the simplest trick just a bit more interesting. Those of you who were skating in the late 80's may remember Mike Beard, who allegedly pulled off a 540 at Catlin.

It is too bad that they are only a quarterpipes and not halfpipes or something. But then again, a quarterpipe is damn cool for showing off to your bros.

Here are 2 of the 5 Quarterpipes located on military housing areas. The other 2 are located near Catlin - which is located near the Honolulu airport.
We'll get a little more specific later.
