I agree. The waves are usually not very big and there are a lot more visitors than locals out there. You’ll be learning along with everyone else.

I’ve only admired the Waikiki surfing from Dukes. One of these days I’m going to have to get my nerve up to try it.
It’s also one of the most fun places to learn to surf.
Hi Emma. Thanks for your comment. The scenery is quite nice as well. I never get tired of seeing Diamond Head.
