HULA KAHIKO SERIES

AUDIENCE COMMENTS ON OUR HULA SERIES: · "This is my favorite event on the island - I come to every one." · "It is very hard to find something so traditional, original, and just lovely in Hawai'i. Tourists usually only get to see commercial dances. It's a billion times better than the Island Breeze Lu'au at King Kamehameha's Hotel." · "I was moved in a most profound spiritual way. The performance brought me to tears of joy and the aloha spirit coursed through my body. I feel as if I have come home from a long journey." · "We wanted to see real native hula and not that touristy stuff. We will never forget this great event." · "... always the highlight of our trips to the Islands." |

You
have read the
Surfing
section and are in a position where you can get to the beach with your
surfboard. (If you have not read the Surfing section Why Not! - get back
there you 'orrible little grommet!). You are now ready to have a go at
surfing Pipeline, the barrels of Kirra or huge Mavericks. Well hold on
there, maybe not quite yet. Before we go any further we should first
check a couple of things. The first thing to consider is how strong a
swimmer you are, and how far you can swim. Paddling around in the sea is
not the place to be if you are used to wearing a rubber ring to keep you
afloat at the local swimming pool. As with all sports there is an
element of risk, and the sea is an awful lot more unpredictable that a
football pitch or tennis court. One thing to always keep in mind, even
when you are a competent surfer, is that you should never be out further
than you could comfortable swim out to and back in from if you did not
have your surfboard - your legrope could break at any moment an you may
find yourself going from a nice paddle back into the beach to having a
really long swim.
Being physically fit goes without saying if you are looking to take up surfing seriously. A good surfer will make paddling, carving and wave riding look effortless but there is a lot of physical work involved in paddling around, getting up on your board and doing manoeuvres (but lets not get ahead of ourselves!). Safety should always be in the back of your mind, which is a reason that you should never be surfing alone. You never know what might go wrong even on the smallest of waves - its good to have someone who can help you out should you get into trouble. One final little thing, as with swimming you should never go surfing straight after a meal. Give it at least half an hour before eating before going for a surf. If you are up for a surf first thing in the morning you should wait until after for your breakfast. Well, if that has not put you off surfing then lets get going with the things to know section.
Check out the Surfing Equipment for Beginners page to find out what surfboard and other equipment you'll need to start you off. It is also a good idea to have a look at the things to beware of when surfing so you don't hurt yourself, anyone else or annoy everyone else on the beach. Find these on the Basic Rules to Surfing page. Oh no - Surfing and rules in the same sentence ahhhhh. When you have completed the <
