Surfing nude is quite an experience to say the least. As a right of passage, every surfer should give it a try at least once in his or her life. But the truth is... surfing naked is like riding a motorcycle with no clothes on a rainy day... It can be done, but it's not always the smartest things in the world to do on a regular basis over coral reefs, etc... I have had some things save my ass before, but literally it could be a pair good of shorts! :) As a lifetime surfer, I have only surfed naked once in my life just to say I did. I was not the only one truly "Hangin' Loose" that day, as it was more of a stunt performed with a few friends. Any surfer would know that the ocean can be a taming experience in itself. My first priority was always been safety and then fun. Hawaii boasts some of the worlds best surf. Surfers come from around the globe to face the the 'mele kai' (song of the sea). As a surfer, I have always liked long boarding. A mini tanker (long short board or short long board) is the most common type board for Big Island as it can be more versatile than a short board. Although, there are many spots where your short board will be a better choice, especially in larger surf or point breaks. The surfers here are usually very accepting of new people, as surfers are usually very meditative types. There are although some 'local only' type breaks, so play it cool. Always follow the ABC's of surfing etiquette. Remember there is always another wave... Always wait your turn in the lineup. NEVER EVER drop in on someone's wave. Some of my most memorable rides have come from the Big Island. I still see the waves in my head. When I tell people the it was just like Hawaii 5-O, I'm not kidding... There is also some great body surfing, so if the conditions permit, learn a few tricks from the hand surfers... There are several places that rent surf and body boards. Some more info on some surf spots on the big island...

No
website named "Hangin' Loose" would be complete without some surf spot
information.
