Between the months of November and April, the waves at "Pipe" (Banzai Pipeline) on the north shore of Oahu can be awesome and extremely dangerous. This surfer successfully navigated this wave during an April swell. Amazing to watch surfers ride these monsters.

Weeks Of Heavy Rain Overwhelms Honolulu Sewer System
HONOLULU, HI - APRIL 3: A closed beach sign is posted next to an empty lifeguard stand on Ft. DeRussy Beach in Waikiki April 3, 2006 in Honolulu, Hawaii. With near perfect weather across Oahu, Waikiki Beach is near empty of swimmers due to the sewage spill which diverted millions of gallons of raw sewage into a nearby canal last week. High levels of bacteria were detected in the water forcing the Hawaiian Department of Health to close several of Waikiki's most famous beaches. Warning signs were posted along most of Waikiki in English and Japanese. (Photo by Marco Garcia/Getty Images)
The sun rises over the Pacific ocean as
The sun rises over the Pacific ocean as seen from US President Barack Obama's motorcade in Kailua, on Hawaii island, December 28, 2009. Obama was expected to break his public silence on the thwarted attempt to down a US airliner on Monday, as a political storm brewed over the attack. The White House warned Republican foes December 27 not to inject politics into the aftermath of the bid by a 23-year-old Nigerian to destroy a Northwest jet carrying 290 people, as a sweeping national security operation unfolded. The president, vacationing in Hawaii, has not commented on television about the Christmas Day drama, apparently seeking to project calm and avoid the political point-scoring and panic seen after past terror incidents.
