In Hawaii everyone surfs. Except me. I just wander about. But there are surf lessons happening all along the beach and you can see tots to grandads having a fun old time. Although the latest trend seems to be getting one of these very long longboards and sedately punting your way along the sea.
For the really serious there’s surfboard storage rentals on the beach with boards towering at least 10 feet tall. Here’s a tip: if you’re starting out, the longer the board the easier it is to master. They say go for a 9ft board at least. How one carries it to the sea I’m not sure as I didn’t see any wheelbarrows, but perhaps you could smile sweetly and someone will carry the other end. Ahh, I think I’ll just stick to one of these hot pink tubes and bob around.
And right now, there is a mega cheap deal out with Harvey World Travel running until Sept 11. 9 nights in Fiji and Hawaii from $1599. That includes your flights from Auckland and all your accommodation! You start with 2 nights in Fiji (you can extend it if you like) then 7 nights in Hawaii.
