Kewalo's
Edit SpotAbout
Always pretty fun and easy enough to score waves but defnitely nothing world class
Atmosphere:
Pretty mellow, but always pretty crowded. Like most south shore spots there are heaps of long boarders out which kind of sucks.
Additional Info:
It's a pretty funky wave. It has this weird section on the lefts that pitches, mushes, and then the wave fades out real quick. If you get the lefts that line up from deep you get a decent ride and sometimes you can get in and out before the section mushes out.
There are some nice rights but you can get stranded on the super shallow inside because they don't break into a channel like the lefts do.
