Informations supplémentaires
English (Traduisez ce texte en Français): relax, the sharks are just curious. there have been no shark attacks in recent memory. a more serious and all too real concern is the sewage outfall offshore. probably a good idea to stay away from this spot during kona (onshore) wind conditions.
Atmosphère
English (Traduisez ce texte en Français): My favorite non-tourist spot on the South shore of Oahu!
Général
English (Traduisez ce texte en Français): sand island is a fun town surf spot that most surfers never surf because, altho its close to downtown honolulu, its off the beaten track.

Only for the brave! - Could be mixed up, but I think the first break towards town is called Towers, and the next one over (bigger one out to the right from the beach) is Regulars. We used to surf outside of the Kalihi Channel at a place called Rainbows; I think it's the same break as Paradise. Sick break on a big day. Hammerhead central, though, man; catch plenty of babies fishing and find them washed up dead on the beach lagoon end of Sand Island a lot, too.
There was another break farther out around the Reef Runway, about halfway down the runway on the outside. Used to take the boat out to that one when it was good, too. No idea what it was called, or if it had a name. Was coming home from Maui couple of years ago during a big swell and saw some boys out there towing in; brings back good memories; gotta buy another boat!

Just to the right on big days - I was stationed at Sand Island from 84-86. surfed it on all big days and alot of small ones. Waves reform from outside. Place can be sharky. The biggest shark I've ever seen was here in 85. Just me an a Samoan were surfing good 3-4 backs with overhead sets. A small shark came by early in the session, maybe a 3 footer. An hour later I heard the Samoan go: "LOOK AT THAT BIG SHARK". I about shit. It was a Tiger (can see the marks), about 13 to 14 feet and cruzing on the wave in front of us about 50 yards out. It was the biggest one I'd seen here and saw at least 9-10 over a two year period. There is alot of reef on the inside so I think most stay out. You can surf "Paradise" too. It is farther right outside the lagoon, but you need a boat or jet ski and can get epic and empty in summer.
