Characteristics
  Oahu is, with the other Hawaiian Islands the home of surfing. Beyond this, it is also the home to some of the worlds best and most famous surf spots. The North shore is packed with familiar names, Pipeline and Backdoor, Off the Wall, Log Cabins, Sunset and Waimea Bay. When the big winter swells come in, the worlds best surfers head here. The south of the island is also a surfers dream with many many class breaks. Unfortunately, due to its image and consequent popularity, Oahu is one of the most crowded and 'localised' places to surf. Show a bad attitude, and you may not even want to get back into the water.

Last Saturday in Hawaii
Scott and I hit up our last Saturday dawn patrol together in Hawaii on yet another day they were calling flat.  We hit up in-betweens knowing there would be glassy conditions, not to mention I was staying in a hotel just off from the break.

damn
look at all those spots, not one place you can go where theres not a name for a spot or not a crowded break....'sell out island', thats unfortunate...ive never been to Hawaii and i never will... I feel i'd do more of a service to locals by not coming.
feel sorry for this wonderful surfing community

where to sleep in Oahu
Hi everybody. I´m a 30 years old friendly guy from Spain that is travelling to Oahu in Nov 17th. I´d like to find a place where to sleep and spend, the whole month that i´m going to be in Hawai, surfing, surfing and more surfing. I´d like to rent a flat o shared flat for this month, cheap would be great and by the North Shore would the the best :-). If anyone knows some place, please let me know. You can reach me at: andoni-ef@hotmail.comthanks very muchAloha.

Surf in August
I am going to be in Oahu in August and was wanting to know where there will be some surf. I'm not looking for anything that will grace the covers of Big Wave monthly, just something that will be around about head height and not too crowded. This may be a big ask in August but any pointers would be useful
