Surf Culture: The Standing Wave in Hawaii
Although Hawaii is commonly known as the birthplace of surfing ocean waves, there were actually six traditional surfing sports performed by Native Hawaiians going back to antiquity, one of which is river surfing. It was Hawaiians who first elevated surfing on stationary river waves to the level of a national sporting practice.

The LineUp Launch
The LineUp Launch will be located on both the main level next to Sessions Lifestyle & Apparel with convenient access to the Wai Kai Wave as well as on the lower boardwalk level adjacent to the Nalo Kai Club Lounge. It's the place you go to check-in, get your RFID wristband, book additional services or lockers. Essentially -- it's where you go to "Launch" your day at The LineUp.
