Kona surf cluster (Banyans + Lymans)

Both Banyans and Lymans are local surfer turf with established lineups. Visitor surfers should rotate respectfully, never drop in on a local, leave established peaks to the regulars, and learn the spot before paddling out — watch from the beach for a session before joining. Smile, say aloha, be respectful. Both breaks are over fringing reef with sea urchin, sharp coral, and lava rock — wear booties. Experienced surfers only on the outer reef. If you're not sure you're ready for these breaks, you aren't.
