Hachijo's three surf breaks are located in the southern most tip of the island just past the port of Borazawa. Accommodation and restaurants are sparse and most surfers commute from other areas. Hachijojima attracts surfers and bodyboarders from far and wide. All three are reef breaks with a rocky seabed. Sea urchin are prevalent so booties are a good idea unless you have tough feet. There are no tubes but the waves are rippable with long shoulders and rides. There are no surf shops so you should bring wax, ropes, equipment, etc.
