Catching a big wave on Oahu's famed North Shore

Postcard

Oahu is the third largest of the Hawaiian Islands but the most populous of the islands in the U.S. state of Hawaii. Honolulu, the state capital, is on Oahu's southeast coast. The island is home to about 950,000 people.

“If there is such a thing as a perfect wave, you’ll likely find it on Oahu’s North Shore. The big, glassy winter waves of this legendary surf mecca attract the best surfers in the world, while summer waves are far smaller and more gentle – all of which makes the North Shore the perfect surf spot for beginners and veterans alike.”
