Waikīkī is the world's most famous surf spot, comprised of many surf breaks, each with stories to tell.

About the 48:02 minute documentary video presented here:
"Ka'ahele Ma Waikīkī is the first presentation in the Kai Piha series of films. In this documentary Hawaiian historian, John Clark, takes you on a Kaʻahele Ma Waikīkī, a tour of Waikīkī, and shares its surfing history. He talks about the aliʻi who lived there and loved its waves, the Hawaiian place names of its shoreline areas and surf spots and the styles of traditional Hawaiian surfing that were practiced there. Ka'ahele Ma Waikīkī offers a truly unique look at one of the most beloved places in Hawaiʻi."
There's much more in this great video. Highly recommended... and Thank You, John Clark!
