Visitor Reviews of Hapuna
“Hapuna is the first break I have ever surfed. It’s not the best wave but is really fun when it’s nice. There are lots of spots at hapuna so you don’t need to worry about to many people. Often times I won’t even go to the wedge (even tho it’s a really nice wave) most times I go to middle rock where there is excellent shore break and if the conditions are good glassy barrels. Or you could go to hotels with lots of backwash and even beteer closeouts not to mention the hot chicks! Overall hapuna is a great beach to come down with your friends and mess around. On a nice day it’s one of the best spots on the island but most of the time blown out or flat.”
