Best year round surfing in U.S.?

[Brad]

Tried posting this on another forum (wrong one)...

Where could a person live in the U.S. outside of California and Oregon that could offer year round (consistent) surfing?

- Hawaii is obvious, but I'm a beginner. I don't know if it's feasible to learn there due to the difficulty and strong localism.

- Water temperature is not a factor. I've been in a lot of cold water and don't mind it.

I hear they have an artificial wave machine in Las Vegas.
