Waikiki. It’s the Mesopotamia of modern surfing. Where Duke Kahanamoku cut his teeth. In the last few decades, though, the reefs at Waikiki have become the place for boatloads of tourists to try surfing for the first time. For some, that’s a major deterrent. For others, a challenge. Here a pack of local groms descend on Queen’s and navigate crowds with style and grace. And if this is any indication, longboarding’s future is looking pretty bright.
