Amazing Rights. Shallow reef. Long or short boards.
The shifting rights at Sunset Beach are probaly the crown jewel of the North Shore. Usually a few feet bigger and cleaner than the rest of the North Shore, these majestic waves break far out to sea and peel all the way in through the famous inside bowl. It starts to show at 4-6 feet, but can handle 12-15 on the right swell. The waves break differently on every swell, but the ride ususally starts off with the a outside takeoff on a huge peak, big open face carves to the inside section, then screaming through the bowl which is opens and closes wildly, then kicking out in the channel. Sunset beach is famous for it's shifting peaks. Most notorious is the "west peak" which is known to catch the entire line-up off guard. Negotiating the inside bowl on a smaller day. Sunset will require more board than almost any other spot you have surfed before, as you will see from the boards in the lineup; 9 and 10 foot guns are not uncommon. There is a strong rip in the channel when it gets double overhead +, you can use it like a conveyor belt to help you paddle out back out. Don't try and swim in through the channel if you break your leash, go in through the white water, let it wash you in.
Lying within a mile of Pipeline and Rocky's is yet another legendary surf spot, Sunset beach offers around 200ft of breaking waves, can hold small and large sets, and is the home to the O'Neill World Cup of Surfing each year. It's here that the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing starts to take more shape as Sunset is the 2nd stop of the Crown.
L'isola della capitale Honolulu e della famosa baia di Pearl Harbour è decisamente la più trafficata dell'arcipelago. Traffico spesso pesante. Honolulu è una vera metropoli. Le zone più interessanti corrispondono alla costa orientale (protetta da un ampia catena montuosa) ed alla sezione nord-occidentale (alcune riserve naturali). CLIMA: Temperato, non si scende quasi mai sotto i venti gradi.
