Oahu: surfing

Top Things to do in Oahu Hawaii: Everybody's gone surfing...

Hawaii is identified with beautiful surf, and rightfully so. Surfing originated as the sport of ancient Hawaiian royalty. Kids as young as eight can try: you can find lessons right on Waikiki Beach, where the surf is good for beginners. Or call the Hans Hedemann Surf School for other locations. In winter: watch pros compete on on giant surf on Oahu's north shore.
