Discription of surf spot: Banyans, Hawaii
It's one of the local favorites, so don't get in people's way and use proper surf etiquette. Be careful of the reef, it is pretty shallow and sharp! The waves are best in the winter (that goes for all of Hawaii). People usually shortboard or bodyboard there, but they also can longboard. It can barrell on a good day, but usually it's just a normal wave. There are usually some waves there even if the spot right next to it is flat.
