David’s Story This year, Hawaiian South Shore will turn 20 years old! Super stoked with the support. Initially, it was tough. A lot of the Closed surf shops around Kakaako and Ala Moana Christmas pressured most vendors not to sell to us. ThanksGiving We could only open one or two Surf New Year Day brands, so for a while the store was bare. Telephone What made it even tougher was I 808.597.9055 really didn't know too much about retail. I just cashed out my 401K Email after getting fully vested at Atlantis Sales@ Hawaiian submarine. Just went for it agains SouthShore.com both my parents advice. Actually I wanted Parking to open a restaurant but after befriending a Located Makai Japanese restaurant owner and working for side of the store him for 4 months for free I Sat & Sun OK to park on decided that it wasn’t for Mauka Side me. I had a lot of help from Wendell Kong, who was the sales rep at the time. He hooked me up with Tokoro Surfboards and introduced me to several new brands that he thought would have potential in Hawaii. The first good longboard we carried was Hap Jacobs; he just started shaping after a long hiatus. He started after Donald Takayama, who rode for Hap back in the days, gave him a planner and suggested he make boards again because the longboard was making a comeback. After that, we landed an account with Donald Takayama, which was when Joel was still riding for him. Mon - Sat 10:30-7:00 Sun

Renovating was a huge problem also because it was going to cost a lot of more than I was willing to pay for. So I cleared out friend back yard that had bamboo and

built counter tops and shelves. I had help from a friend to resin the counter top and it was a nightmare. I didn't use enough hardener and the counter top stayed sticky and it never dried. So I improvised and just placing a clear Plexiglass over it…haha A couple year later we got into skate so I renovated to match the skate scene with metal pipes. I had no machine to cut all the pipes, so I cut it all by hand with a manual pipe cutter. I tell you what, if I had to do it again, I would ask for help. Every night for over a month I was cutting the 12’ pipes and making racks out of them. Good thing that came out of it was my arms were getting a serious work out for sure. After 20 years I still feel like Im learning new things. One thing we did as a treat to ourselves we went to Japan and took two days off at a Ryokan, a Japanese style inn. The first two straight days we’ve had off. So I took full advantage of it and totally slept in all day and just relaxed in the hot tubes. The view of Mount Fuji, food was really good. The service was just outstanding. It made me realize we can still improvement on our customer service. I want people like you to get the best service in the industry, so if you have any suggestions, please email me. sales@HawaiianSouthShore.com. Thank you very much for making it possible for all of us at Hawaiian South Shore do what we love. I plan on being here for 20 more.

The New People Footwear for men and women. NOW Only at Hawaiian South Shore. One of the lightest shoes on the market and a super soft EVA insole. I like it because I have EEE wide feet and they stretch to fit my feet, it’s one of the few shoes I can wear all day with out getting feeling tired or irradiate. Most of the shoes have a seam right at the wide point of my feet and they tend to hurt at the end of the day. But with these show I didn't feel that and so I went them all the time. They have plenty of ventilation so it’s perfect for Hawaii. The styles are similar to the traditional vans, converse and one that looks like the high end driving shoes you see in the magazines.

Exclusive to Hawaiian South Shore, MaryAnn a New York Haute Couture designer. Haute Couture designer is someone that creates exclusive customfitted clothing for high fashion. Im sure you thinking why would we have access to someone like this. Well my father is originally from New York and his friends daughter became a well know designer amongst the custom high end clothing buyers. With that connection one thing lead to another we were able to get exclusive bags and clothing.
