Prices of boards here are about the same as the mainland

If your only going for one week and want to maximize your water time- I would suggest to bring a board. Since you could spend a whole day or two looking for a used board- unless you not picky and don't care about cost. That's is my experience... If your going longer then a week... Then I guess it doesn't matter.

Make sure to look up the surf shops in the area prior to leaving- So you have a game plan. Surf and sea on the north shore used to have the largest selection of boards- but they where mainly new as I remember not used.

Maybe another idea if checking craigslist in Hawaii a week before you go- finding a board you like and already contacting the person and set up a time to check it out so you dont waste time

Yeah I'm gonna try to just not be picky and maximize water time. The main shops I plan on visiting to find a board are Used Surfborts Hawaii and Surf n Sea, thanks for the craigslist help I'm gonna check that out now.

Also Speed Bump's idea for spending my time sounds like a successful trip

If the North Shore gets a solid swell, Puaena Point might be a good spot to start.

Update: did some touristy stuff, scored two sessions a day each day once the swell came, lived like I was in paradise, then payed my dues getting out of the water from my last session wouldn't change a thing about the trip I definite I lucked out! Endless thanks to stankasaurus for the great hospitality and showing me what being a fellow sweller is all about
