Surf’s Up At Shipwrecks
By MidWeek Kaua’i Staff
On a recent Sunday at Shipwrecks Beach, the surf was relatively small, but that didn’t prevent a handful of surfers from ripping it up. The close shore break brought out the skim boarders as well, but their intersecting paths put them on an occasional collision course with oncoming surfers and Boogie boarders. Talk about a wipeout!
