1 Reviews for Waikiki Roughwater Swim
Gather around the barrel of sunscreen, they provide, and lather up. When the guns goes off it's every person for themselve. It's total mayhem at the start. Get ready to take a few kicks and shoves. Once you get around the first bouy and some waves it's an awesome swim. The waters clear and you get to see a few critters along the way. If you start drifting out to sea, there's plenty of paddlers to keep you on track.Warm water too. It's an exciting race.
