Fun alternative to Pipe - I've surfed it several times. Last time it was eight foot at Pipe and I stood right in front of the peak, on the beach, 7,6 pintail in hand, ready to tackled the big left.By the time a set came through, I decided to let the drift take me on down to Ehukai and I surfed there instead, trying not to kick myself to hard for wimping out on Pipe.A different day I was at Ehukai and it was exactly three to four foot faces and square. The hollowest little waves I've ever seen. It was super easy to drop in, get completely barreled, DEEP, and come out dry on the shoulder. PURE MAGIC.Restrooms are littered in rat shit.

The best - I think that Ehukai is one of the best spot in the world, cause is not dangerous, the wave are perfect, you can make even (small)tube riding, or aerial, or off the lip, and more and more, easily than in others spot.And when you get tired, you can go to the beach, relax, have a drink, and watch crazy guys at pipeline and think:"one day, maybe, I'll be there..."
