Do you love Honolulu too?

 


Waikiki has a special place in my heart as it does for so many that visit or choose to stay there forever. Check out these great videos about the epic surfing at Waikiki.


While Hawaii’s Oahu is widely recognised as the home of modern surfing, the incredible waves at the famed venues of Pipeline and Waimea Bay can often overshadow the spiritual home of what the Hawaiians refer to as the Sport Of Kings. Honolulu, or “Town” to those living on the famed North Shore, is where it all began for the beach boys at Waikiki, situated between the Ala Moana Beach Park to the west, and the iconic Diamond Head to the east. With perfect, long, warm water waves lapping onto the sands of Waikiki year-round the environment is perfect for humans of all shapes, sizes and abilities to try their hand at wave riding. while for the local community surfing has proven not only to be a form of employment but a way of life, and a means to achieve international success and fame.. In this episode of No Contest host Ashton Goggans shares waves at Waikiki, and roams the streets of Honolulu with everyone from Pipe Master Jamie O’Brien to world long boarding champions Kai Sallas and Kelia Moniz, and gets an insight into how one of the world’s busiest bucket list tourist destinations manages to maintain its appeal to travellers and locals alike. Beyond Waikiki's ribbon of white sand Ashton samples some of the South Shore’s heavier waves and catches up with the family behind one of surfing’s most famous brands, the Sugiharas from Town & Country.

Biggest waves in Waikiki of 2024! July 15, 2024 an XL swell from Tahiti brought a high surf advisory to Hawaii's south shores. Waikiki was firing all week but this day was the peak. Surf heights were 8-12ft in the morning and dropped to 7-10ft in the afternoon when I got there.
