Hawaii is famous for quite a few things, from beautiful beaches and sunsets, to dream vacations and luxury resorts. Of everything that the island is famous for, the sport of surfing may be the most closely associated with the islands. Not only does the island boast some of the most famous surf beaches in the world, the sport is thought to have been invented by the earliest Hawaiians, and the sport has continued to be crafted on the breaks on all islands.
Legend holds that ancient Hawaiians started riding waves and 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. Over the years, surf breaks have provided many memorable moments, and surfers have become more and more daring.
As the winter months approach, surfers from all over the world flock to the north facing shores of the islands, particularly Oahu. Featuring legendary beaches and surf breaks, 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.
Though attempting to surf on the massive waves of the North Shore is not advised, Hawaii Discount does offer a handful of surf lessons where you’ll learn to surf on the gentle waves, with options available on Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and Big Island. An expert surf instructor teaches the basics on land, before paddling out to ride the waves and feel the unexpected power of the ocean.
Surfing is so much fun and after you catch your first wave, you’ll be hooked. The addictive sport will keep you out in the water for hours and once you master paddling and standing, you’ll want to keep riding. With the help of expert instructors, you’ll be surfing in not time, and will want to return to the islands soon to try out breaks at different beaches, and on different islands. Once surfing catches you, it won’t let go. Be sure to reserve your surf lessons today!
