Ever heard of Point Panic? It’s a bodysurfing wave on the south shore of Oahu, aptly titled as the wave there will take you straight into the seawall if you’re not careful. However, it might be one of the best bodysurfing waves in the world, in no small part because other forms of wave-riding are prohibited. If your board is bigger than a handplane, go find another break.
Above, filmer Ari Bernstein got down to the beach from July 16-18 to film as the south swell from Code Red 2 hit Oahu, and believe it or not, these are the highlights of highlights. For the full, 25-minute reel, click here, and for the un-bodysurfed waves from the swell, check out this video.
