A crowded beach with large, aggressive waves and experienced surfers is not where you will want to attempt surfing for the first time, it will be a very daunting experience and probably discourage you. Duke Kahanamoku, an Olympic star in swimming, popularized the sport further by traveling internationally and showing off his surfing style to thrilled audiences around the world.
Sunset beach is part of the miracle seven mile of beach stretch that lines the north shore. Perfect for the person who likes the feel of a longboard but wants more maneuverability. Even experienced surfers will sometimes be caught off guard when the sets pop up a little early then expected.
The fun board, as the name implies, is designed specifically for just hanging about in the waves and having a good time. I also recommend a leg-rope, because sooner or later your going to need one, and you don't want to be chasing your board around all the time when you could be catching more waves. The soft construction of the board ensures you don't get hurt during the spills while you still enjoy the thrills.
In the early stages of your surfing career this is definitely the place to be. But remember to be safe, take a lesson or two and be respectful out there, surfing can kill, but it is without question the most amazing feeling on earth!
