“I’ve been coming here for 26 years, and I never tire of it,” said two times World Champion Tom Carroll to Mpora. “It’s like a second home and I learn something every time, be it about the waves, or the people. To get the most out of Hawaii, you really need do the time.”

See, there’s a reason surfers keep coming back to Hawaii every year. No where else has the power, the history and the waves. With so many waves packed into its waters and so many moods for each and every wave, you can’t go just once.

It takes time to get your surfboards right. It takes time to find where the best Mai Tais are. It takes time to build your knowledge and your courage, to meet the right people who will teach you the right lessons.

Not going to Hawaii is a crime for anyone who calls themselves a surfer. Going just once is far, far worse.
