Surfing in the Summer
I want to take my teenage boys to Hawaii the summer and I have a choice of either Maui or the big island (those are the only islands where my ff miles will take me). They would like to try surfing. I know winter is better, but am I correct that, at least for complete beginners, summer will still provide them with waves to learn on?

We were on both Kauai (Poipu) and Maui (Kaanapali) in late July '07. My DD took a surfing lesson at Kiahuna on Kauai, and wanted to take another when we were on Maui, but there was no surf at all, so no lessons. Just don't be surprised if it doesn't work out.

I think Oahu has the best surfing of all the islands. Your kids are beginners so Waikiki is probably the best place in the world. The waves are consistent and the water conditions are very safe.
Also if they are intersted in the surfing culture - the mecca for surfers around the world is the North Shore of Oahu. Location of the Bonzai Pipeline, Sunset Beach, Waimea, Haleiwa, and further down the road is Makaha.
