？
Is it ok to put a surfboard on the side of the bicycle and drive it like in Shonan, Hawaii ？
Ideally, I would like to do that with a scooter, but it is difficult to get a license.

I see people with carriers on the side of their bicycles, not a lot, but I see them.
I saw one yesterday in Waikiki.
I often see scooters with carriers attached.
I was under the mistaken impression that only vehicle registration was required for driving, but it seems that a driver's license is necessary.
According to the following, there is a Class 1 license for moped driving only.
https://hawaiimoped.com/hawaii-moped-laws/

Here is the site of Honolulu city authorities.
https://www8.honolulu.gov/csd/motorcycle-or-moped-drivers-license-information/
After getting a provisional license, there are some restrictions such as not being able to drive with two passengers and not being able to drive at night. but you can drive.
I think a provisional license is valid for 1 year. ？ I am not sure.

I think the practical test is held at the license center in Pearl City, using their own moped.

In general, I think it is easier than getting a car license.

For reference.

Thank you very much.
I am relieved that I can use the carrier.

The website says that mopeds can be driven with any class of license, but can I drive with a regular international driver's license?

I don't know much about driving a moped with a Japanese license （ ＋ or an international license ）.
However, since cars are supposed to be allowed to drive mopeds, I assume that backward compatible mopeds are also allowed to drive mopeds ？.

Just to be clear, it is important to keep your Japanese driver's license.
Also, a Japanese driver's license is only valid for one year from the date of arrival in Hawaii. The Consulate-General of Honolulu recommends that you carry documentation to show the date and time of your entry into the country.
The following is a passport, but you should definitely avoid carrying valuables when surfing （ Thefts can easily occur on the beach ）.
You might, for example, keep a passport copy with you and take the original later if the police ask for it.

The following is another resource provided by the Consulate General of Honolulu, Japan.

You can call them for assistance in Japanese.

I didn't know there was a way to call the consulate. Thank you very much.
I think it would be safest to just get an international driver's license and get it there.

In Japan, people sometimes leave a plastic bag with a smartphone in it on the beach and go into the ocean, but in Hawaii, it seems to be very strict.
I will take the real opinion of the local people as a reference.
Thank you very much.

Sad to say, but there is a lot of beach leave-taking and bicycle ・ scooter theft.

Bicycles must be locked with separate chains for the front and rear wheels, and the body must be U-locked as well, or some parts will be stolen. Everyone uses scooters with very thick chains for locks. I think the thin ones get cut by wire cutters.

Many locos who come to the beach with cars put a special key （ for opening doors ） that has only the key part and no electronic parts in the inside pocket of their swimsuit and go into the water.
Also, there are many people who hang a key box on their car, but this is to say that the keys are here, and the box can be exploited and the car stolen.
I myself bury my keys in the sand to open the door （ I park my car so far away that it is virtually impossible to connect the keys to the car ）.
However, in my friend's case, he had his car stolen because he was seen from the moment he got out of his car to the moment he hid his keys.

So, although this may sound a bit threatening, please be careful about theft when you are here.

ロコのサーファーの女の子の友達が、今朝ワイキキビーチで、日本のサーファーの方と友達になったと言うのですが、Good Byeを言えずに残念だったそうです。彼女の日本語はあまり良くないので、確かではないのですが、仙台から来られた日本人の方だそうです。もし、この掲示板のポストを見られたら、ご連絡いただけると嬉しいです。よろしくお願いいたします。

現地までは車で行けます。
希望としては30~40ドルくらいです。
３人で参加したいです。
