Surf Pounders

Pounders - Laie, Hawaii Pounders features a powerful beach break with both right and left waves, breaking over a sandy bottom. The spot is known for its solid, wedge-like tubes that form off a cliff wall, making it ideal for experienced surfers and bodyboarders. It works well at all tides, particularly with swells from the north and northeast. Located just off Kamehameha Highway, Pounders offers instant access and is primarily frequented by locals, creating a unique atmosphere steeped in surfing tradition.
