The LineUp at Wai Kai is a surf park located in the Wai Kai community of Ewa Beach, about 22 miles from Honolulu. It features the Wai Kai Wave, a 100-foot-wide standing surf wave that offers a variety of water-based activities on a 52-acre lagoon. This spot attracts both locals and visitors, making it a social hub for surfers in the area. The LineUp also hosts surf competitions and provides a relaxed vibe where surfers can enjoy their time before or after hitting the waves.

The surf at The LineUp consists of a deep-water standing wave offering adjustable, glassy waves that range from two feet up to head-high, suitable for all skill levels. Surfers can ride both left and right directions, making it fun for everyone from beginners to experts. There's no paddling involved here, so you can get right into the action. The wave is also good for progression, allowing surfers to practice carving turns and top-to-bottom surfing on boards like shortboards, fish, funboards, and even bodyboards. This spot is usable year-round, so whether it’s spring, summer, autumn, or winter, there are waves to enjoy.

Accessing The LineUp is easy with a big parking lot available, and you can expect lighter crowds on weekdays, while afternoons and weekends can get busier. The atmosphere is friendly, with a good mix of skill levels among surfers, and the surf ops team is helpful in accommodating everyone to the wave. Just keep in mind the potential hazards like getting held down after bailing, so wearing a helmet is a good idea. It’s best to use the boards provided at The LineUp instead of bringing your own, as they shoot back at you quickly when you fall.
