Waikiki. Historically, the beach was a vacation retreat for Hawaiian royalty, and in modern times, thousands of visitors catch their first feeling of the glide in these gentle waters. Vintage photographs of Waikiki display the ultimate party waves, in some cases the surfers on balsa wood planks are so close they could reach out and hold hands with their neighbors. In the spirit of party wave central, we joined in the fun.
