Hanalei Surf Adventure

Why This Rocks

This isn't just any surf lesson - it's Henry's personal North Shore circuit

Perfect Beginner Waves

Hanalei Bay offers the most forgiving waves on North Shore. Protected by reef, it's where locals learn to surf

Local Business Circuit

Support three beloved Hanalei institutions in one perfect day - from breakfast to boards to beers

Epic Photo Magic

Dramatic mountain backdrop, pristine bay, authentic surf culture. Your Instagram will never be the same

Your Perfect Surf Circuit

Start: Fuel Up at Hanalei Bread Company

Start your day right with fresh pastries, coffee, and local atmosphere. Grab some energy for the waves ahead - you'll need it! Don't skip this - surfing uses way more energy than you think.

Henry's move: Load up on carbs here. The pastries are fresh-baked daily, and the coffee will wake you up for those early waves. Locals know to fuel up first.

Next: Gear Up at Backdoor Surf Shop

Walk across the street to Backdoor Surf - the locals' choice for boards. Ask the crew about today's conditions - they know every wave on North Shore and surf here daily.

Insider tip: These guys surf every day and know exactly where the best waves are breaking. Don't be shy - they love helping beginners find the perfect spot.

Main: Surf Hanalei Bay

The money spot! Beginner-friendly waves, stunning mountain backdrop, and that classic Hawaii surf vibe. Even if it's raining, the shots will be epic - moody mountains and glassy water create pure magic.

Wave wisdom: Keep the board all day for same price. After lunch, you might catch that perfect afternoon session when everyone else has gone home.

End: Post-Surf Feast at Kalypso

Celebrate your surf session with cold drinks and satisfying food. Share stories with other surfers and soak in that post-wave glow. This is where the surf stories get better with each telling.

Local vibe: Order whatever sounds good - you earned it! The cold beer tastes extra crispy after a morning in the water, and the food hits different post-surf.
