  • Surf Crash & Burn Clinic

    Hūnānaniho Beach Park 87VW+GRM, Waimanalo, HI
    #2 Intermediate

    Launching and returning a kayak through surf is one of the most intimidating parts of coastal paddling. Waves, timing, and shallow water can quickly turn a routine paddle into a “Crash & Burn” capsize if approached incorrectly. With the right preparation and technique, however, surf zones can be managed safely and confidently.
