The final stop on our trip was the North Shore of O'ahu, the big surf capitol of the world. When I was a kid learning to surf in New York I got Surfer magazine and saw these awesome pictures of far off Waimea Bay, Sunset Beach, and Banzai Pipeline. I dreamed that someday I would see these places so it was really amazing to finally do so.

Awesome sunset on the North Shore.

The surf was not huge, we missed the really big swell that hit the day we got to Maui, but it was big enough to get a feel for it, and way bigger than anything I've ever ridden.

The beaches on the North Shore were all spectacular.
