After many years of making Snow Board LibTech has now join forces with Matt Biolos Of Lost Surfboards. Matt started off with a model that everyone would be stoked on the NEW “Puddle Jumper” “This is the most excited I have ever been about a small wave surfboard.” ~ Matt Biolos Why did we decide to go with Lib tech? Super strong…Check out the video on our website of a pick up truck running it over slowly the board does not break!! It’s made in the USA Lib Tech is a very Environmentally friendly company
The board is environMENTALLY NICER If flexs better then other manufactures with ding resisted boards. Core is 100% waterproof. So if you ding it…no worries finish your session, your board won't get water logged. Only at Hawaiian South Shore check it out and priced reasonably at $720!! Puddle Jumper This board, features a concave bottom that transitions to vee in the tail. The wide outline makes for easy wave catching and down the line glide and stability. The concave bottom adds lift and increased rail curve, which allows radical top to bottom surfing. The straight rail line & vee in the tail keep the board moving forward and hold in during hard carving maneuvers.

DeadKook Surfboards Our Team rider Jerry whom recently became a team rider highly recommended getting DeadKook surfboards which are from Australia. The timing couldn't have been better because the Shaper Eden Saul was in Cali shaping some boards. I’ve never seen the board but Jerry is the one that recommended the Almond Surfboard and people that purchased on loved the board, so with his recommendation we placed an order of board. Some people heard thru the coconut wireless that we are getting some in and we’ve already had a couple custom boards. I dont think I’ve ever had a longboard company that we’ve brought in with preorders before we’ve had them once in the shop, Amazing how news travels. Not sure when Eden will be back in the US to shape again so if you are interested hit us up right away. The boards will be in the $1,250 to $1,450 range, just about the same as the Tudors and Almonds. By the way we have a batch of Joel Tudors coming in also, Im pretty excited because he is back in the saddle surfing and refining his board after a long hiatus. 320 Ward Ave Tel (808) 597-9055 Open: Mon - Sat 10:30-7:00 / Sun 10-6 www.hawaiiansouthshore.com

The Late Donald Takayama known world wide for his longboards developed the Halo fin. He wanted a fin that would give the board more pivoting , meaning shortening the
turning radius and increase the speed. The way the fins our designed it acts like a hydrofoil and creates lift. The Center fin is an extension of the side fins. This fin really loosens the board up and lessens the drag on your turns and trimming. They work great on Thrusters, quads, 2+1 on just about all types of boards, from Fishes, Funboard, Longboard and SUP’s. Reward members can demo fins for 7 days free!!
