About Queens
Queens is the heart of Waikiki surfing, a long, gentle right-hander that has been ridden since ancient Hawaiian royalty first stood on wooden boards here centuries ago. The wave breaks over a flat reef and rolls for a hundred yards or more, offering smooth, predictable walls perfect for longboarding and learning. On bigger south swells it has real push and shape, but it rarely gets intimidating. The backdrop—Diamond Head, the Royal Hawaiian, outrigger canoes—is the most iconic in surfing.
