Hawaii Pacific University plays up its proximity to top surf spots in its marketing materials, so yes, a good option. The University of Hawaii at Manoa is another good one.

Also, check out the University of San Diego, San Diego State, UCSD, and Pt. Loma Nazarene (like Pepperdine, right on a great surf spot, although, also like Pepperdine, it’s a religiously affiliated school with a conservative administration)

And, if you’re really open to adventure, many of the universities in Australia have great surfing and are happy to admit U.S. students. In particular, Bond University in Australia is known for great surfing. (great resource if you want to learn about Australian schools: www.Australearn.com)
