Plain and simple, the North Shore runs on respect. If you can make this a top priority during your time in Hawaii, you’ll find that it’s easy to enjoy your visit. If you break the cardinal rule, you may not be so lucky.

In this section of our show The Pick-Up, we’ll visit Honolulu’s recognized Ambassador of Aloha Makua Rothman for his tips on how to enjoy the North Shore, learn how to stabilize a spinal injury with Kyle Foyle of the North Shore Lifeguard Association, and watch John John Florence, Jack Robinson, Imaikalani Devault, and more Vans Triple Crown of Surfing competitors take on Haleiwa as the swell turns up.

The Pick-Up is a Stab and Vans join covering North Shore news. Watch all Episode 4.
