Known as the birthplace of surfing, it makes perfect sense that Hawaii is also home to some of the best places to catch waves in the world. These beaches, pipelines and bowls offer a range of conditions, from those are great for first timers to spots where more than one pro has been killed. Some are best in winter, others in the summer, and they’re scattered throughout the archipelago
Jaws is the biggest and baddest surf spot in all of Hawaii. With waves that reach 120 feet, the reef break was largely inaccessible to surfers before the advent of tow-in surfing, led by Laird Hamilton.
Banzai Pipeline, Oahu
When waves break onto the shallow reef at Bonzai Beach, they form some of the gnarliest tubes anywhere in the world. Banzai Pipeline in Hawaii is world famous for its tubular wave created where the shallow water and coral shelf combine to resemble pipes, thus giving this beach its name. When the waves are steep and powerful, they break furiously on the shallow reef. Amateurs and beginners are better off not chancing this break, the Pipeline at full strength is unforgiving, even for the pros.
