November 2010 What do you do when you're not surfing? Customer Profile: Linda Lassiter
Diving, sailing, kayaking, hiking, biking, swimming, and taking adventures to far off places.
What do you do for a living? I’m a mental health counselor and a substance abuse counselor. I work with teenagers.
How long have you been shopping at HSS? Since I moved here in June.
Anything you want to say to our readers out there? How long have you been surfing? Since I moved to Hawaii in June. Four months on the paddle board, almost two on the surfboard.
What do you enjoy most about surfing? Definitely the feeling. Here’s my take on surfing: it’s a cross between what church does for a religious person, and what heroin is to an addict. It feeds my soul, keeps me in touch with everything that’s real, and frees my mind from things that don’t really matter anyway. Once you experience the feeling, you have to keep chasing it, like an addiction . . when I’m out there, I never want to come in, I always say to myself, “OK, just one more...just one more!”
How many boards do you own? A paddle board and a surf board, Surf Hawaii and Cheater Five. I got them both at Hawaiian South Shore.
Which is your favorite? Why? The Cheater Five!! This board is the ultimate. I gave it a name ~ Halelehua. It means “a sea goddess.” This board is shaped to know the sea, and it knows it very well! Somehow I can feel the water more, and sense what it’s going to do when I’m on it, compared to the paddle board. Maybe because the surfboard isn’t as thick, and you’re in there, closer to the water more.
Beware! If you see me out there, stay away!! I’m serious. I’ll run you over and it won’t be on purpose. Need therapy? Stop by HSS, pick-up a board, and hit the waves! The sound of the sea will free your mind and soothe your soul.
GoPro Cameras and accessories at Hawaiian South Shore... Hawaii’s GoPro Headquarters
It's been almost two months since GoPro announced it'd be releasing a cheaper helmet cam, the HD Hero 960, positioning it beneath the $299 and 1080p HD Hero we enjoyed last year and give those doing professional stunts on amateur budgets a chance to capture their glory. Now here it is, yours for the taking today -- if you don't mind a resolution capped at 1280 x 960 and a deleted "Hero Bus" expansion port, meaning no external displays or batteries. That port is what you'll need to use the company's next accessory, a dual camera mount shown off at Interbike, pairing two of the HD Heros to film in 3D. You'll need to manually stitch the resulting footage together, but there is at least a sync cable included so that the two start and stop at the same time -- something sadly lacking on the Tachyon XC 3D. That mount is set to retail for $99, but the requirement for dual $299 cameras will price this out of most budgets. However, the $179 MSRP on the HD Hero 960 makes it a compelling alternative to Contour's $220 720p ContourHD.
ARE YOU SECURING YOUR SURFBOARD PROPERLY? Securing your board to the roof rack properly is always a good thing yeah!! This picture with the fins facing back is the improper way to secure your board. The Toyota FJ below has his board fastened properly. • • •
All the fins on the boards are facing forward. The reason you want to have the fins forward is because if the straps come loose, the fins could stop the board from slipping off the back. Always have the longest board on the bottom. The rocker (the curve of the surfboard) is all facing down, which minimizes the board from catching a lot of wind.
Note:
When driving on the freeway and you hear a loud humming sound, that might be the straps. To minimize or even stop the irritating sound, take the straps and twist them a couple of times. If you have a Soft Rack that is not used regularly, it’s a good idea to take them off the car. UV rays from the sun will break down the strap.

Thursday, September 30, 2010 By Star-Advertiser Staff and News Services This hologram device has believers. The buzz over Power Balance hologram jewelry started in the sports community, with athletes from Shaquille O'Neal to surfers Ekolu Kalama and Andy Irons swearing by its ability to improve strength and flexibility. I might not have believed it, except for the tests. When I stopped at Hawaiian South Shore one day, owner David Kelly put me through the tests with one of the bracelets and without it, with clear results. The simple test for flexibility is touching your toes with your fingertips. Wearing the bracelet, my reach was 2 inches farther without really trying. A skeptic could say my muscles were warmed up by the first stretch, but the result of the strength test was undeniable. Standing with my legs together, with arms stretched out at shoulder height, Kelly had me lift one leg, then he told me to resist and keep my balance while he pressed down on one arm to tip me over. Then he had me slip a bracelet on and repeat the experiment. This time, he pushed even harder, but I was able to maintain my balance the whole time while standing on one leg.
What the ... The powerbalance.com website doesn't say much to explain how the hologram works, except that it works with your "natural energy field." It's popular in the surf community, where balance is important. Kelly also said you don't have to be an athlete to benefit from Power Balance. He said his back usually hurts after three or four days of surfing, but wearing the Power Balance bracelet has helped relieve his back pain. He said others with aches and pains also have felt relief after wearing the jewelry. The pieces sell for about $29.95 to $39.95 at Hawaiian South Shore, 320 Ward Ave. Take the test and see for yourself. Call 597-9055.
Back in the R.O.C. ~ By Keith This past September I went back to Taiwan and picked up where I left off last year. I wanted to continue exploring its coast line and search out more empty surf spots. I had originally planned to camp out, but those plans went out the window due to rain and then extreme heat. It would have been an awesome experience to have camped, and it could have definitely happened, but after a few nights on a king sized bed with a/c...I persuaded myself to change my plans. The best thing about Taiwan is you can potentially find never-before-surfed waves, but instead of having to sleep on the ground under a mosquito net in a third world country, you can get a cold 6 pack of beer from 711, take a hot shower, and sleep comfortably with the a/c running all night for a very, very reasonable price. The country is relatively safe with a stable government so the only thing you have to think about are the waves. This trip had its ups and downs just as any other surf trips do. It rained 3 days straight at the beginning of the trip, so there was a lot of run off making the water brown and unappealing. After the rains passed, I got a solid week and a half of perfect, sunny, light wind days. The waves were chest high on average for most of the trip with some days being way over head. There was another group of surfers from Hawaii there at the same time so I know it’s only a matter of time before Taiwan is recognized as a credible surf destination with world class waves. But shhh, don’t tell anyone! Check out www.surftaiwan.com for more info or, you can book a discounted package direct through Hawaiian South Shore!

EFX Performance
Is your body properly tuned? We are all surrounded by a naturally occurring energy field that constantly reacts to both internal and external influences. When this field is disrupted, the body’s performance and responsiveness is compromised, similar to a precision instrument being out of tune. Conversely, when these frequencies are nurtured, muscles relax, blood flow increases and tension abates. EFX’s holographic technology contains algorithms and frequencies that interact positively with this energy field in both humans and animals at the cellular level. When placed near the body, especially at key energy centers such as the hands and feet, EFX’s products will harmonize with the body’s naturally occurring bioelectric frequencies. EFX effectively tunes the body, immediately unleashing its full potential for function and performance. Some of the most notable results include: * Increased balance and strength * Enhanced flexibility and motion * Better focus and alertness * Relief of stress and tension * Faster recovery time * Abatement of jet lag and motion sickness

DUMPSTER DIVER :: MODEL DESCRIPTION
Our board designs are direct results of team feedback, so when Dane Reynolds showed up at the factory requesting a short wide epoxy with a single concave and a huge square tail to make the summer bearable, the Dumpster Diver was born. When he came back a week later and wanted one with a narrower nose and a Rookie tail template for the Trestles contest in 3 days, the 2nd Generation Dumpster Diver was created. Using the front half of our Sashimi model, and the template for the back half of our Rookie short board, this second version version remained under his feet all the way through to his first final at the WCT Trestles 2009. Though still a work in progress the Dumpster Diver flies and still has enough kick in the tail to carve in the pocket. If you want to try the board as it was in the Trestles contest, then get one quick, as you never know where he will take the design next. FEEDBACK: Short, wide and ugly, but fun and fast.
DESIGNED FOR:
“Small to med surf, launching. Intermediate to expert.

More Cool New Stuff At HSS! Minnetonka Moccasins
Native Americans wore moccasins long before Columbus discovered the land. It's fair to say that moccasins are truly America's first footwear. Completely casual, they define a relaxed and comfortable lifestyle. Since their inception in 1946, Minnetonka Moccasin has shaped the moccasin's place in history. Following World War II, Americans took to the highways to discover its natural beauty. Visiting resorts and souvenir shops, they brought Minnetonka moccasins home to the new American suburbs. They soon became casual classics. Today, Minnetonka is a mainstay of American style. Minnetonka moccasins, fringe, sandals, shearling, boots, slippers, hats and accessories can be seen everywhere...from the streets of New York to the mountains of Colorado. From the Opry in Nashville to the Santa Monica pier and from London to Tokyo. No matter the footprint, all are made with genuine "moccasin soul". It's a simple idea... Classic design that never grows old combined with a natural, free-spirited heritage. Minnetonka Moccasin continues to define casual and comfortable American style.
