Staying at a certain hotel on the North shore just for a few days before going into Town , 14 hour sleep and woke up to this view from my balcony , think the guy on the Naish is having to much fun on his own

That area should be good Mon-Tues, keep an eye out for nearby spots when the east swell arrives... and be careful with the pool bar Mai tai's, those things are strong.

Looks fantastic - and they hire our real surf SUPs. I am traveling on business and lucky to be staying at a resort. I tried renting a SUP yesterday for the surf. The beast must weigh over 20 kg, must be 12' long, and the aluminium paddle looks like it belongs on a row-boat. Still caught a few waves but it was like surfing the Titanic.

Back in the water. One less to bother you when out surfing. Don't waste those conditions

doesn't really look like something that would attack a surfboard or sup? Or even a tourist?

Nah ! just a small shark that had been hooked by a fisherman and it snapped him in the reef , shark died and washed up on the reef and they just pulled it ashore , all the Middle America tourists were freaking about it ,

I was out at ala moana beach park in the middle of the day with 4 other surfers at our particular break. If you have any way to make the drive, its worth the 10 minutes.

Hey Exiled i ended up in the Arvo going out to the break just a touch to the right of the Pink Palace and a hell of alot further out towards Ala Moana , there was about 6 of us , was great until the wind went a bit wierd and there was a big lull between waves , but awesome compared to the big pack in the middle

Didnt try to hire a board thru Blue Planet as my hotel (Waikiki Resort hotel ) had no board storage and the lifts are way too small , feeling pissed off i didnt do my homework and not wanting to pay $40 ! a hour on the beach i stumbled on Moku Surf hire 1 minute walk from my hotel and directly behind the Duke statue $140 for 7 days !!!!!!! Friendly staff bit limited on boards but hey im out there , hired a 9, 1 to start but only 106 litres , thin rails and i struggled in the small surf , got the bigger 10 1 board at 150 litres and i was away , headed out to Pops and Paradise and the last 3 days have been great , we are just getting the last of a Tropical Cyclone Darby but mon , tue and Wednesday are looking better for my last few days ,

Country (North Shore) has been good, might be a better bet tomorrow with the south wind.

Did you take your board? Where did you store it?

How SUP friendly is it? How crowded are the waves?

Is June/July the best time to visit if you want waves and sunny weather so my wife can enjoy the beach?
