If you visit Oahu Hawaii for vacation and some Surfing, recomended place is HALEIWA (read as HALE-IVA, in Hawaiian language W mostly pronounce as V). This is part of North Shore where you can find a good size SURF! I love coming here watching the Huge waves especially during winter where swell is really as huge as 20-40 feet. Sad to say I'm not a good swimmer don't even know how to surf, I only come here to enjoy dipping on the shallow waters and suntanning, or Boggy boading but not on deep part LOL.
Next time I come here I will take a shot where they film BAY WATCH!!!
