Surfing also impressed the famous traveler and writer James King, while on board on the ship led by Captain Cook. He describes this sport in his memoirs as an activity unique and graceful. About the practitioners of surf he notes that they perform difficult and dangerous maneuvers and boldly and safety.

Surfing remains a symbol of the Hawaiian Islands and endless summers. Where and when surfing can be practiced depends mainly on the weather and one’s skills as an expert or beginner. In Oahu, the famous Waikiki Beach is the place to start, especially if you are a beginner. The kiosks lined up on the beach are overflowing with masters of surfing. For lessons or just renting a plaque locals are a trusted source. Experts can choose the west side of Maui, as it offers many possibilities for those who already know how to tame the waves. The Maalaea Harbor is known worldwide for its waves, some of the fastest waves in the world. Beginner or expert, the wild waves of Hawaii offers a unique experience, a true spectacle. Those who are afraid to plunge into this adventure can watch the surfers on heiau, above the bay.
