We got an out of season hurricane that sent some waves to Oahu’s south shore. We’re used to the north shore pumping out huge waves in the winter but the south is normally small. Add in the light winds and we had glassy conditions. The surf was consistent and even with a large crowd there were waves for everyone.

At Blue Planet we offer downwind coaching to those wanting to get into this exciting sport. After doing many coached downwind runs I have noticed that most beginners make the same common mistakes when first trying to catch bumps.
