Pine Trees

Kona Coast, Big Island, USA (HI)
🪸Sharp reef🌀Strong rips👊Localism

Pine Trees (Kohanaiki) is the most consistent break on the Kona coast, with multiple peaks that work on a wide range of swell directions. The left is usually better. Shallow reef and strong currents on bigger days keep it honest.
