Just across the entrance channel from Ala Moana, is another surfing spot, called 'Garbage Hole.' They built a breakwater that cut the surf off, but in it's day this spot produced fantastic rides for surfers like Wayne Miata. The ultimate thing to do in surfing is to actually be covered up by the wave. And here goes Wayne...doing the ultimate thing.

-Bruce Brown from The Endless Summer

Forty four years later, and despite everything that has happened in surfing during those years, getting covered up by the wave is still the ultimate thing.
