Kauai has two of the state’s better spots to learn to surf, at Hanalei Bay on the north shore and at Poipu Beach on the south. But surfing is a great spectator sport. Events are always free, even at the famed pro surfing competitions on Oahu’s North Shore. But many events are unscheduled: when the surf is up, they will come. See page 22 of Kauai Trailblazer for the seven best places to watch surfers; all Trailblazer Travel Books include the best spots to be a spectator.
