Accelerated training is a good idea. It will go better if you already have
a sense of how a wing works and what wind does around terrain. If you have
some experience sailing or windsurfing, that will help a lot.

How much weather are you going to see in Hawaii anyway? Whether he takes
9 months to do it on weekends for $10K or 30 days for $6K he will still
be a new PPL lacking time and experience. At least he'll have the ticket
and can start sooner on building actual PIC time and experience.

I'd say go for it.
