Hawaii is known as one of the world’s best beach paradise, aloha bars, and its volcanoes. And for a different set of audience, it’s also one of the best surf destinations in the world. Why else would they call it the birthplace of surfing? Even though it’s quite a trip to go there, the fact that it has a lot of different surf spots could keep a surfer busy and happy for several months. Here are some of the best surf spots in Hawaii.

"Jaws" was an iconic movie released in 1975. It is also the name of Hawaii’ biggest and most dangerous surf spot. With waves that are known to reach 120 feet, surfers can only challenge these behemoths with the use of a vehicle to tow them near the waves. This place gives even the most experienced surfers a hard time. Definitely not a place for beginners and intermediate surfers.
Banzai Pipeline is known for the most awesome tubes you can find as the waves break onto the shallow reef. And it’s also because of this shallow reef that beginners and intermediate surfers are advised to stay clear of this spot.
Canoes can get crowded in the summer because it’s one of the few spots where beginners can learn how to surf. Expect glassy waves when conditions are good. Diamond Head Lighthouse is another great spot for learning how to surf as the beach consistently provides two to six-foot waves.

John Clemenza here. I ’ve been catching waves since I was 7. Living in Hawaii means you have to get used to the beach life and the amazing cuisine. Out of all the sports that I tried, I fell in love with surfing. But I still dream of doing other stuff especially in my next fave place, New York. But for now, for more gnarly reads on surfing, visit my blog.
