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.

The Rise of Justine Dupont

 

This is such a great story of a fantastic big wave surfer! Check it out:


Justine Dupont’s à la folie showcases the “best year” of her surfing life From her beloved Nazaré and across the seas to Mavericks and Jaws, Justine Dupont just compiled a career season, but the Frenchwoman is far from finished. Over the 2020/21 Northern Hemisphere winter, French surfer Justine Dupont put on what some are calling the most dominant performance that female big wave riding has ever seen. Now, thanks to à la folie, a Red Bull Media House 32-minute biopic, you can join her for the highest highs and lowest lows, life-changing wipeouts and insane barrels. “À la folie means ‘with a lot of passion’”, says Justine. “It does for me anyway, because otherwise, it means ‘madness’, and that’s not what I see my surfing as. I definitely have a lot of passion when it comes to surfing big waves. “Last year was my best season yet, so it was a great feeling to have that all captured in this film, to show off how I was feeling, how I do everything with my team, and all of the work beyond just the surfing.” Justine Dupont’s history with surfing hasn’t always been geared towards big waves; rather, this has been a passion developed over years of exploring the ocean and all that it has to offer. She first started surfing at age 11, stealing her father’s shortboard to sneak off to the beach and get a few waves. A runner-up finish in the World Junior Championships in 2011 announced her arrival on the shortboard scene and she quickly qualified for the Championship Tour later that same year. Injury cut short her major league dreams but it didn’t stop the silverware mounting up on her multi-disciplinary mantlepiece. From world stand-up paddleboard titles to finals finishes in the world longboarding Dupont could do it all, but when she first tasted the adrenalin of tow surfing at Belharra, at home in France, she finally found the discipline that would come to consume her every waking moment. Shortly after the big wave passion gripped her, Dupont moved to Portugal to tackle the infamous Nazaré whenever it broke. Two Nazaré Tow Challenge victories later, her talents have now seen the Frenchwoman cross the seas to tackle Mavericks in California and Jaws in Maui, where she successfully navigated the best female tube ride of all time. “It’s nice to be recognized as one of the best big wave surfers in the world, for all sorts of reasons,” says Justine. “I’ve dedicated myself to Nazaré, to big waves, and it makes me feel like I’m doing the right thing. Being recognized means that I can follow my dreams, and follow the storms and the waves I want to surf.” Strap yourself in, hit play on the video above and prepare to enter the world of Justine Dupont, you're in for the ride of a lifetime.

Whether it be seemingly endless historic Teahupoo swells, world title chases or just good ole' free surfing, 2022 surely had a taste of it all.
