Are speedos common in Hawaii?

Everything I've googled says no. But does anyone else have any experiences with speedos in Maui (south Maui)? It seems it's a very family-oriented area. But I know what I'm comfortable wearing.

We were on Maui a few years ago. Speedos aren't as common as in Miami but you may see a few. Nice beaches (south) around Kihei and Makena. Also Little Makena is an unofficial nude beach. Folks in speedos and thongs but very crowded. Not worth the effort getting there. North, the beaches in the Kaanapali / Kapalua area are nice too. Mostly tourists in board shorts. I spent 10 days at different beaches in a bikini with no problems. You just might not see many others, if at all.
