| | Surfhistory.com - Great Waves: Waimea Bay, Oahu |
 | | Located on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawai'i, Waimea Bay is a natural wonder, with white sand beaches, clean, warm water, a lagoon, and lava-rock points on either side of the bay. |
 | | This tropical utopia is in stark contrast to the ferocious winter swells that march toward the bay and unload their fury over the lava shelf, establishing Waimea as the Mecca of big wave surfing. |
 | | Whole reputations were built upon the Waimea experience; Greg Noll, Pat Curren, Ricky Grigg, then later Eddie and Clyde Aikau, Booby Jones, Mark Foo, Brock Little, Ken Bradshaw and a handful more all attained hero status for their seemingly fearless Waimea mastery. |
