We are a group of paddlers from a canoe club in British Columbia who have started paddling an OC6 and loving it. We paddle on flat water and would love to learn to surf in the OC. We figured the waves of Hawaii where it is warm would be a great place to learn and hope to do so this coming February. A great time to get away from the wet and cold West Coast!
Any suggestions on where to go? Where are the waves good to learn? Where can we rent equipment for up to a week and get a bit of instruction before we go play? Should we be looking at team boats or singles, or both? We'd prefer to be away from the big city and crowds but want to be where the waves are best for learning.
