surfing with the alien

The North Shore on the island of Oahu has gigantic winter waves and is commonly referred to as wild water. Most of the older guys you see in the water these days did not have the benefit of surf schools when they where learning.

Sunset beach is part of the miracle seven mile of beach stretch that lines the north shore. Other famous world class Hawaii surf spots are kammies, backdoor, rocky point, laniakea, jockos and haleiwa just to name a few. A private surfing tutorial will have you well on your way to surfing like a pro in no time.

The North Shore covers almost 20 miles of beautiful, open sandy beaches that produce mammoth 20-30 foot waves from October to February. Made from a special lycra material, rash guards are made to be worn in the water and dry very quick. The general rule is, the surfer closest to the breaking part of the wave has control of the wave.

No one got any better at anything by staying home and sitting on the couch. Of course, anyone who wants to master more than the basics can sign up for a few more surfing lessons.
