ORGANISED SPORT
Surfing reads the same coast differently
Honolua Bay consists of a rocky shoreline with small beach, coral reefs in a marine preserve and world-renowned surf break.
THE LIVING MAP
The mapped place
Honolua Bay is recorded at 21.013° N, 156.638° W. A surf map fixes a name to one stretch of moving water, but the place changes with tide, swell direction, wind and the shape of the seabed.

TODAY
Honolua Bay now
Honolua Bay remains both a marine conservation area and a surf break, so recreation shares the water with the protection of coral and coastal habitat.
