North Shore surfing legend, father, brother and super cool person Marvin Foster passed away May 18th, 2010 in Haleiwa on the North Shore of Oahu,  finding peace at last.   He was a fearless surfer with a true North Shore style.  Earning the nick names Carving Marvin and Marvelous Marvin he was a master at surfing the Pipeline and set the standard for carving in the early 80’s.  In 1980,  he was named Rookie of the Year by ASP World Tour.  Always a daredevil, he was the  first person to go left at big Waimea Bay, and  was one of the original invitees to the Quiksilver Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational surfing contest.

A straight “A” graduate of Waialua High School,  Hawaiian to the core and intelligent,  Marvelous Marvin looked you straight in the eye and told you like it was.  Loved and respected by his family and friends he will be truly missed.

North Shore's Best Surfing Beaches

By |February 23rd, 2010|Surf Happenings|0 Comments

The best place to surf on the North Shore depends upon what kind of surfer you are. For beginner surfers Puaena Point and Freddie Land are the best places to go. If your an intermediate surfer any place up to 6 ft, except Pipeline and Rocky Rights. After the surf gets over 6 ft., every surf spot is for experts only, especially Pipeline, Sunset, Haleiwa, Waimea Bay and all outside reefs. The good news is that if your wanting to learn how to surf we teach our surfing lessons in a protected cove, so even when the surf is huge on the outside we have small and safe 1-2 ft., waves to teach you to surf on.

Waimea Bay’s beautiful white sand beach is one of the largest and deepest beaches in the Hawaiian Islands and a great place to swim and snorkel in the Summer months. It is also a Marine Life Conservation District. On the West end of the bay the famous Jump Rock which you can jump off of if your brave! There is also a hole at the base that you can swim through.
