Donald DJ Dettloff still can't figure out how his quiet Haiku property on Kaupakalua Road has evolved into a quirky Maui landmark. Known simply as the surfboard fence, this towering structure made of hundreds of discarded surfboards has become a must-see attraction for residents and tourists seeking fun off the beaten path. Still, Donald admits it's all a fluke.

I don't even try, really. I just sit over here and people come and keep bringing their boards, he says, pointing out a stack of five boards that were donated in the past two weeks. I look at how big it is now and I just don't know what happened.

It all started back in 1990 when the forecast of a hurricane prompted Donald to secure his surfboards by wiring them to his fence. Artistic inspiration ensued and he decided to add a few more boards to his humble collection nothing fancy, just discarded ones that he salvaged at the nearby junkyard.
