general information

Three breaks in front of Ho'okipa Beach Park. On the eastern end of the bay you will find a wave called Pavilions breaking along the point. Nice walls here that throw the occaisonal tube at the lower end of the tide. Middles...in the middle of the beach, is a more tame left hander that provides fun for all levels and watercraft.

At the western end of the beach is a fast right reef break that gets shallow. This spot is usually ultra crowded and is popular with kite and sailboarders that can be a source of a few tangles.
