surfing can be found along the historic 5-mile stretch of Alii Drive. Originally allowed only for the Alii (royalty), surfing in Hawaii was literally the \u201cSport of Kings\u201d in early times. Today, surfing can be enjoyed by everyone and is symbolic of Hawaii\u2019s host culture and active lifestyle. Of course, surfing is not exactly a passive sport &#8211; so not everyone who lives here actually surfs. But even for non-surfers, there is something truly magical about relaxing at any one of the Big Island\u2019s popular surf sports to simply watch in awe.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Whether you are an advanced surfer or a first-timer, you will find many easily accessible Kona surfing spots. For beginner and intermediate-level surfers, Pine Trees (Kohanaiki Beach Park) is a great location, and Kahaluu Beach in <a href=\"http:\/\/pennhenderson.com\/west-hawaii-areas\/north-kona\/keauhou-real-estate\/\">Keauhou<\/a> <i>is the best for first-timers needing lessons.<\/i><\/p><p><strong>If you are a beginner<\/strong>, the best <em>(and safest)<\/em> way to learn how to surf in Kona is by taking a lesson. Numerous surf schools can be found in Kona with expert instruction for getting started and staying safe. Equipment is provided such as foam-top longboards, water shoes, and rash guards.
