Kauai - Surfing in Hanalei Bay

Brian loves to surf. He rented a board for a few days and we spent alot of enjoyable time driving to the different beaches in the area to find some good surfing waves. He finally did find some further out, by the Princeville Hotel but he had to paddle out really far to get to them so I don't have any pictures. Below are pictures of Brian surfing baby waves in Hanalei Bay


I have these a little out of sequence but close enough.




We checked out a place a few miles East, called Rock Quarry beach. The place that rented the board mentioned it might have good waves (due to the east swell that day). I started reading in our guidebook about the beach (I'm always up for discovering a new beach) and as I was reading it mentioned that "sharks, which like murky water, have been sighted here during periods of heavy stream flow.....so stay away from the river mouth." Uh...okay...how about stay out of the water???!! Fortunately the waves were blown out so we didn't stay long....whew!
