Big Wave Challenge — Hawaii

If your idea of the ultimate vacation is scoring double-overhead waves, then the Big Wave Challenge Tour is for you. You'll spend five days and four nights in Hawaii, tackling the waves at some of the top-rated surfing beaches on the islands.

First stop is Leftovers Beach in Maui. Don't let the name fool you! At Leftovers, you'll pick up set after set of head-high waves, riding barrels that seem to go on forever and bowls with plenty of green room.

Then you'll experience the surging power of the crests at Road to the Sea on Hawaii Island. Difficult access to this beach means it's usually deserted, so you'll have plenty of room to pick off waves.

Next, you'll harness the energy of the pounding surf off Keokea Beach on Hawaii Island. With swells that reach 10-30 feet, you won't be sharing the water with swimmers! For lunch, let your board double as a picnic table while you enjoy the scenery in one of the most beautiful coves in the world.

The final stop on the Big Wave Challenge really lives up to the name. You'll end your vacation at Jaco Beach on the North Shore of Oahu. A remote area geared for the expert longboarder, Jaco promises some of the most thrilling surfing in the Pacific.

When you're not mining big-wave silver, you can take in a wide variety of side attractions -- from amusement parks to gourmet dining to crater climbing!
