While you see and hear the rolling waves off Waikiki's coast calling out to you, and there's no better feeling than paddling out to the breakers and catching a wave back to shore. Learning how to surf is a rite of passage as a visitor. There are usually gentle, waves to be found on any given day, before you turn pro and paddle out to the monster surf! It's easy to sign up and find surfing schools along Waikiki Beach, and handful in the North Shore as well. Most will even promise you will be standing up after the first day!
