About Haleiwa Surf Shop

Haleiwa Surf Shop, nestled in Haleiwa, HI, offers a curated selection of rentals, quality apparel, and unique Hawaiian novelty items. Customers consistently praise the kind, knowledgeable staff, often highlighting the owner's helpful local advice and the shop's welcoming, family-run atmosphere. This spot is ideal for both visitors seeking authentic souvenirs and beginners needing guidance on board selection and local surf spots.

The Good

Customers consistently praise the extremely friendly, kind, and helpful staff, often mentioning the owner, Rain, by name. The shop is frequently described as a 'hidden gem' with a great, unique selection of quality merchandise, including shirts, local novelties, and surf history items. Service highlights include excellent advice on surf spots, reasonable/great pricing (though one noted otherwise), easy rental processes, and going above and beyond (e.g., cleaning a child's cut foot, providing local recommendations). They are noted for being knowledgeable, authentic, and having a strong 'Aloha' spirit.

Things to Consider

One reviewer found the surfboard rental overpriced compared to other shops on the island and disliked the extensive waiver/credit card requirement. Two separate reviews reported negative rental experiences: one stating the shop refused to rent boards, and another citing an extremely unhelpful and sexist store keeper.
