the Duke at Waikiki Beach where
locals and visitors alike surf the gentle
waves year-round in front of the Royal
Hawaiian Hotel. From November to
March, Oahu’s North Shore
experiences some of the world’s
largest waves at spots like Waimea
Bay and the Banzai Pipeline, home to
surf competitions and die-hard
enthusiasts. During that same time in
Maui, lucky visitors may have a chance
to see famed big wave surfers Laird
Hamilton and Dave Kalama, founders
of tow-in surfing, tackling the gigantic
wave called Jaws. For those interested
in the history of this intriguing sport,
another great stop is the Bishop
Museum in Honolulu whose exhibits
and photos keep the culture and the
roots of this sport alive.
