Proctor Surfboards’ has been sweeping the surf world with style. The board is designed for surfers who tend to ride their rails (instead of surfing off their fins) and for those of us who aren’t wafer-thin and all skin and bones. The fuller rails of the board’s design allow you to drive through turns with ease. The board’s high volume, especially in the chest area, makes paddling out super easy since the board doesn’t sit low in the water. Surfers get extra paddling power with the high performance maneuverability of a shortboard. It’s a breeze to catch waves and thanks to its versatile rocker, this beauty gives you speed and power in small waves without losing maneuverability. The board also responds quickly to snap changes in direction, allowing you to pull off incredible tricks and turns on the fly. The shape of the tail, the board’s extra width, rail geometry and double concave bottom all work in harmony to give you a ride like no other. That’s a pretty impressive feat for a big board.
What Surfers are saying about Luis took out to one of Panama’s renowned breaks, Santa Catalina, and was impressed by its maneuverability and control.
Jose dragged along on a surf trip to Costa Rica, where he conquered a few head high waves in Playa Hermosa.
“I was able to place it all over the face of the wave, even got a little barrel ...with a lot of ease. The construction is great...this one took my 240 pounds of body weight right in the middle of the deck in a couple of wipeouts without a single pressure ding.”
“...I was so confident on it. After being out of the water for 2 and a half years, that board made me catch up with my surfing. Best board I ever owned.”
Chad bought his custom squash tail back in April. For the past 3 years, he hasn’t been able to surf as much as he used to, with two little ones running around the house. “Although I was out of paddling shape...I really liked how the board paddled and took off. I am super happy with it!”
Kelly is an old surfing sea dog who hasn’t been himself on the waves lately.

“A few warm-ups and it was like I was back to my old surfing self when I was 17 and on. The board is a great blend of old and new. A great feel.”
55 year old Mark said, “ This board is great! Makes me feel 30 years younger. Paddles fine and catches waves very easily.”
Hawaiian South Shore is one of the few places to have the first set of Jordy Smith Future Fins in stock. We have only 6 sets available, so call now to place your order!
In collaboration with Future Fins, Jordy has used his knowledge of board shapes and designs to create a Future Fins series like no other.
These fins are designed to give the feel of a glass-on without the rigidity and weight. They have a medium flex pattern, making the fins stiffer than a Blackstix but more flexible than Fiberglass or Techflex.
They’re flat-foiled, giving surfers better speed control on fast, powerful waves. The fins also have a large area which is perfectly adapted for bigger frames (180+ lbs) like Jordy’s.

Kyle, have you seen my phone? I have to give a big `Thanks' to Sergeant Yue and the officers of the Honolulu Police Department for helping me to recover my stolen iPhone. The drama all went down the other day. After surfing, I called my wife on the way to the shower. When I got off the phone, I placed it under my towel on the bench next to the shower. After showering, I walked back to the car and realized that I'd forgotten my phone, but it was gone by the time I returned to the bench to look for it. I asked a friend of mine to call my number to see if I'd left it in the car. No luck! I figured someone had snatched it, so I dashed over to HSS and turned on the pc to track the phone's GPS. My phone was moving up Ward Ave, so I ran outside to see if anyone along the avenue was walking around with it. No luck there either! Chances are, the person was heading away from the store, so I ran home and retrieved my iPad to use it to track the phone. After locating it again, I noticed that the phone was moving fast towards downtown. That's when my wife suggested that we should call the police because you never know... maybe some crazy person took the phone. When the police arrived, I gave them my iPad so that they could use it to track my phone. They called up a few more officers and, after coordinating their team, pinpointed the phone's position. It was on a bus. I'm sure the bus driver was pretty surprised when the cops pulled him over. My wife dialed my number again and the officers caught the dude on the bus trying to put the phone on `Quiet' mode. I would've loved to have seen the look on his face when he was caught red-handed. Man, the things these smart phones can do! I'm super stoked that the police helped me out. It was a first for them, chasing down a stolen phone using an iPad. I've learned my lesson: don't take my phone to the shower! I'm happy I took Kyle's (our manager) advice and turned on the phone's locator feature a few months ago.

There's no hiding it, you're a selfproclaimed Surf Junkie! The call of the perfect wave is a beautiful symphony to your ears, but any old surfing sea dog will tell you that years of answering the ocean's siren songs can lead to the condition known as Sur fer 's Ear (SE).
SE is caused by long exposure to extreme changes in temperature. Being constantly slapped around by the cold wind and water on the waves causes your ear canal to become irritated. Your body kicks in, trying to alleviate the inflammation, but this desperate attempt only makes matters worse. Your ear canal eventually becomes blocked, trapping drops of cold water and earwax in a tiny space and leading to intense ear infections or even hearing loss. Surfer's Ear is rather painful and not a pretty sight.
Completely shielding your ears from the elements is the best way to fend off SE while still indulging in your favorite past-time, but no self-respecting surfer likes to sport a pair of Great-grandpa's earplugs. Besides being 眉ber uncool, such an earplug is downright dangerous, as it prevents you from hearing anything while in the water.
If you're wondering how to solve this 'Hearing Conundrum', the engineers at Sport Contr么le, in collaboration with a few medical doctors, have developed a product called Sorky.
At its core, Sorky is an earplug; yet it seems as if it's so much more. It's for anyone over the age of 12 and is durable, super lightweight, flexible and extremely comfortable.
Once inserted into the ear canal, Sorky is designed to stay put, come Hell or High Water. Yet it's not a hassle to remove when play-time is over. According to the manufacturer's website, the silicon used to make the earplugs mimics the flexibility and movement of human skin, making the plug fit snuggly in your ear.
They also feature a specially designed membrane that allows sound to flow freely while keeping the sea out of your ears. This ensures that your hearing and sense of balance, two of the most important senses for every surfer, remain unaffected.
It may sound like we are drowning this little gizmo with accolades, but that's because Sorky has truly impressed us. Our only con is that the product generally runs a little pricier than similar ones on the market, but for a high quality, top notch product, the added cost is well worth it.

KanuLock is an all-in-one rack strap and lock. It works like regular tiedowns, but it’s reinforced with braided stainless steel cables, making it almost impossible to cut. The straps are wrapped with nylon, so your car won’t get dings or scratches and since you position the widest part of your board between the front and back straps, your board won’t slide out either. Check it out at: http://www.hawaiinsouthshore.com/shop/ Kanulock-Lockable-Tiedown-8ft-2-5m.html
HSS is your source for DXLX ®Complete Surfboard Lock System. The DXLX® system is like a bicycle lock for your surfboard. It was invented by a former Navy Seal, C. Dock Hooks, who got tired of people snatching his board while he was at the beach. Its durable, stainless steel design locks into your leash plug or finbox and you can loop the cable through several plugs to lock multiple boards without any extra keys. The DXLX® system comes with: - A 10ft coated, Stainless Steel Cable (w/ resettable Combination lock) - A DXLX® Jaw - A Cleat for use in your finbox if your board doesn’t have a leash plug
