[quote=blue water pro]Merg,
Whoever told you to go to Sandy's wants you dead. Avoid Sandy''s and Makapuu first couple of months until you get a feel for the currents and such - stick to Waikiki.

WORD


...I almost died at Sandy's on my first trip to Hawaii when I was 15. I wanted to go bodyboarding... was told it was 1-3ft. (Maybe 1-3ft overhead, breaking in 6 inches of water)

That wave breaks HARD!
