    “It is important to rate this place as a bodysurf spot, of which the high performance right is probably the best on the south side during the summer. No boards allowed on the right, although some surfers tend to disobey that ruling. For the most part, Point Panics is the mecca of longwave bodysurfing on Oahu.”
