Longboarding Hanalei at the Pier

This is a really easy wave near the pier in Hanalei bay on the north coast. I met the surf teacher outside, he was complaining about being married to the piece of concrete, the pier next to us, and never being able to go to the good surf spots on the island, the exciting ones. So, thus a dream job turns into a boring job. This is the spot where I'd take any beginner, too - sand bottom, supereasy standup waves with instant reward, showers and beach parking. What's missing here is the western young crowd, the pretty and fun city-people playing beach volleyball and chilling. The whole island is dominated by fat families and romantic couples, kind of boring. But I'm slowly settling in, here, and meeting people through Cliff.
