Located on the Big Island of Hawaii, Kahaluu is a collection of reefs off a beach that offer up good lefts and rights with performance sections. The waves here are not always easy to surf and break for up to 100 meters over reef and sand. Inside of the reefs, there are some good beginner waves for learners.
