I'm going there in July for two weeks, I know I should probably stay away from kawaihae and banyans cause I'm a whiteboy. But I think there should be decent waves there, my parents are taking me so idk.
my sister and brother in law just got back from kona. he surfed banyans every day. he is a white boy. nothing to worry about. just some standard etiquette and you will be fine.
