Additional Surfing Infos
 Long paddle to the spot, hire a boat to keep energy, you'll need some there.
  Overview
  Atmosphere Good atmosphere, nice kids when the wave is small. Good wave to keep in shape when it is small and kind of mellow with a northern swell. It becomes wild really wild when the swell is south, huge barrels and a very tempting but very dangerous last section...
  General Fantastic, scaring, beautiful...It is a short wave but its intensity will make you forget its lack of length. I've seen it working with a 12+ feet swell, I was too scared to get in. The locals made the show. Unforgetable.

Tread Lightly
A good bit of advice on visiting these islands. Don't go if you plan on bring an attitude. You will not be welcome unless you know someone. It is already crowded with locals and they surf way better than you. The localism is real and it grows stronger with each generation. The waves are also very dangerous and have real consequences if you are not a advanced surfer. Best of Luck!

Great right
One of the few great rights in the Societies.

The locals are some of the coolest I encountered, you just have to show some respect. Go out early in the morning when the crowd is light, or make sure you introduce yourself to everyone in the line-up with an iorana and a handshake. This will go a long way to making friends and getting waves.

And absolutely NO PICTURES. Unless you want to loose a camera real fast.

P.S. As I will be with the wife (and she's paying for the trip!) my trip won't be a surf trip but more of a "honeymoon". Should I bring a board or can I find a rental shop on Huahini??
