Kauai in general is absolutely beautiful!  I learned to Scubadive on Poipu beach when I was in Highschool...but other than that I dont think its known for its great waves.  I am always partial to staying in a beach house rather than a resort!  Some great ideas can be found at vrbo.com and also vacationhosts.com (they have good pictures).  
 
I think you should be able to find some bodysurfing on any island depending on what month you are goin.  The north shore of Oahu has some spots, I used to see guys on the side of the road near "Velzyland" with nothin but their bodies cutting through a field to get to the break.  And there are some cool little beach houses up there as well.  
 
Hope that helps!

Kauai. . there are some great bodyboarding beaches (poipu itself isn't the best but you can drive to them). but of course, it also depends on the season. . cheers - janet

Hi 

My husband and I want to celebrate our 10th anniversary for 4 days in HI. We've been to Waikiki and want to go somewhere new to beat the massive crowds and have more of a small-town experience. We are bodyboarders and ideally want to stay near a fun, mellow break. I am looking into Poipu on Kauai, but we are open to your suggestions for waves and accommodations. 

Thanks
Deb
