with sleek, fast, elegant, and top-of-the-line boards designed by North Shore legends such as
long board shaper Barry Kanaiaupuni, John Carper, Jeff Bushman, and Pat Rawson. This is a
Quicksilver “concept store,” which means that it's the testing ground for the newest and hot-

Hwy. & 808/637-5026.

sunglasses, and miscellaneous goods; you can also rent surf and snorkel equipment here.
