Of all the things that Hawaii is known for, surfing is near the top of the list. The sport was invented right here in Hawaii, on the same waves that you see while standing on the beach. Legendary surfers have brought worldwide recognition to the sport throughout the years, and many of the most well-known surf breaks in the world are found around the islands, including on Oahu, Maui, and the Big Island. During your trip, venture out to the waves where you can learn to surf during a Hawaii Surf Lesson!
Way back in the days of ancient Hawaii, islanders rode waves on each island, using very primitive versions of surf boards to ride the waves. Legend holds that Captain James Cook witnessed this unusual activity, recording what he witnessed and being awe struck by the agility with which the surfers rode the waves. As the years progressed and travel become more common to Hawaii, the sport exploded in popularity and has become synonymous with the islands.
While Hawaii surf lessons take place year round, it’s the winter months that bring the most notoriety to surfing. Due to the increase in waves, surfers from around the world flock Hawaii, particularly to the north facing shores, for the most famous surf competitions at the most famous surf beaches. Waimea Bay, Sunset Beach, Banzai Pipeline, and Haleiwa Beach host annual events that make up the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing, and the big wave classic, the Eddie Aikau. The waves for these competitions are quite intimidating and should only be ridden by the professionals.
