Had the pleasure of visiting this shop this past weekend while visiting Seattle. Owner was a awesome and very welcoming/ allowed us to use his changing room to change into our bathing suits and gave us a celebration (we just got engaged) by blowing in a shell and announcing us to the crowd outside. Lots of fun. read more

A wonderful little souvenir shop with genuinely friendly folk! Hustled over on a Sunday late afternoon just before closing for a couple of refrigerator magnets for wifey, and found exactly what was needed. Kahuna Dave is a gem! Be sure to drop by and say mahalo to this wonderful person and support this small business! read more

Loved the shop and the quaint selection; Alki's very own ABC store ! If you are lucky , Big Chief Kahoona Dave will send you off with his grand sendoff ritual read more

What a very kind and enthusiastic owner. He is a conversationist and someone who seems very excited about this area of Seattle and very helpful in answering questions about his shop's products. There are some cute beach items and also Seattle gift souvenirs as well. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area! read more

Mood - Going home Souvenirs Upon entering it was so chill and laid back. The owner Dave chatted us up about how things have changed since the last time I was home. It was nice being able to talk shop with someone who gets it. Looking around there is a little of everything. Even Sex wax so yes that was a must. And they had the right flavor Strawberry. You know when you open up something and smell it then all of the memories are flooded to your mind instantly - well this most certainly did that. I will admit I got a few items. Shot glass for my friend in NY, hoodie for the fam, and some other trinkets to remind me of home. Interior is pretty awesome. Everything is bright and colorful, and the owner is pretty amazing. It is nice to have great customer service. There are so many items in here, even beverages for that hot sunny day that comes at times. Would recommend- pricing was reasonable. You will def find something unique in here. And the logos on their clothing is custom made. Now dont get this one confused with the one from down the street over 10 years ago. This is a different location and new owner. Location is Alkai Beach Ave/ Lander - parking is streets, but it is ample read more

See all

Top 5 Reasons to Stop Here. 1. The owner 2. The customer service 3. The glasses 4. The vibe 5. The send off The owner made us feel so at home and I was just getting a pair of sunglasses because mine from home had broken. We walked upstairs and took a look around to see what all they had and I found a really cute pair of black sunglasses with some gold accents. They fit me perfectly and I couldn't be happier with them now 3 months later. We went to check out and had to wait a little bit for him to finish filling up floaties for someone... He blew up their stuff! So nice! We got up to the front and he started chatting with us. He seemed very hospitable and we talked about where he has lived and gone. He was just so great. He also has a cute little sign in book near the register. He is one of the only people to pronounce my name correctly. After the interaction he did something special for us. He brought out his conch shell and blew it and said some cool things in Hawaiian maybe and it just made the day. Such a cool little shop off the beach. Hopefully you can stop by too and get a special send off. read more

Alki Surf Shop - Men's Clothing Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Kahuna Dave was definitely a character that you want to meet when visiting alki beach! We stopped by for a few towels and a beach blanket since we forgot to bring ours. I also got myself a cool hat with the store logo on it. You can't buy that anywhere else! He gave us tips as to what to take a look at and what to avoid since we were just visiting Seattle for the first time in our lives. Honestly could not have imagined a better experience with the send off he gave us once we were ready to head out. 10/10 would visit again if I'm ever near Alki beach read more

Alki Surf Shop - Hat I bought - Men's Clothing Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Kahuna Dave Rocks. So thankful for his kindness and enthusiasm for our Alki and West Seattle neighborhood. 2 sweaters and some stickers for our daughter on this beautiful end of summer weekend. If they don't fit or our daughter doesn't like them then easy return policy. No receipt no issue because this is a relationship and personal service shop. Thanks for giving us the proper send off today!!! read more

Where do I start?! I was in search of a bath suit top and we stumbled upon this gem. Kahuna Dave welcomed us with many alohas! He was super personable and showed us around his store. I'm really glad we got to talk with him and support the shop. As we were leaving, he sent us off with mahalo and grace. We'll definitely have to come back on our next visit to Seattle! read more

Went here today with a surfer friend from LA. Hubby & I had sent him a t-shirt awhile ago with one of their cool logos on it. He was looking for a rash guard shirt to wear while surfing. Unfortunately they don't sell them (yet). Talked with the bomb diggety owner Dave & he's going to look into getting some. I was tempted by 2 of their t-shirts myself but not available in v-neck style. Dave again got inspiration to order some in that style for ladies. I'll be back to buy 1 or 2 when they're available. If you're an Alki fan this place is a must for you. A little bit of everything for everyone. Mahalo Dave for the Royal Hawaiian sendoff. read more

I always try to at least spend one day on the beach while in Seattle. Found this little gem of a shop while strolling around. Kahuna Dave is awesome! He chatted with me while I looked around and I even got the Royal Hawaiian send off when I left! They have a good selection of unique souvenirs and clothing as well as beach items. I ended up getting a super soft Alki orange hoodie and a cool wooden art piece handmade in Seattle. read more

Kahuna Dave is the best!! Stopped in for some tanning oil and he had exactly what we needed. He was so friendly and gave us the best send off!! Definitely come here if you need anything like sunscreen, towels, t-shirts, touristy things, etc. read more

Truly a gem of a place! We were welcomed in the sweetest manner. Prices are pretty good. Thank you for the wonderful customer service and our welcome/goodbye was so sweet. read more

What good things can't I say about this shop? I walked out with a hoodie and a shirt for $37 total. I got a traditional Hawaiian send off. The owner is an absolute legend of an individual. Great selection -- some really cool stuff. I have never had such a huge smile on my face in a store simply from the way the owner talks to you and treats his customers. Stuff of legends. read more

This is such a fun little shop! I had always thought it would be nice for Alki to have more shops sprinkled amongst the restaurants along the main strip, and I was excited to see that this new one had popped up since I last visited. They have a lot of Alki shirts and various other souvenirs with the Alki name on them, and they also have a nice assortment of tiki masks, mugs, puka shell jewelry, kites, etc. I picked out a really awesome tiki mask that was handmade in Bali for my place...it looks awesome and I can't wait to hang it! The man who runs the shop is super friendly, took the time to introduce himself to everyone who entered the shop, and he even blows his conch shell for every customer who purchases something as they exit...ha ha. It was cute and makes for a memorable experience. I really hope his shop is successful..it's in a good location, and really adds something to the Alki strip that I think the area lacks - cool Alki and beach-y souvenirs with an authentic surf culture vibe. I'll be sure to visit this shop each time I visit the area! read more

This shop is special. I left super stoked about our finds in this shop, but it was Kahuna Dave's attentive help finding what we needed and the awsome traditional Hawaiian send off that made our visit an experience that we will always remember! The shop had the typical beach themed finds like bracelets, kites and nick-nacks. It also had a large selection Alki shirts, tanks and sweatshirts for reasonable prices. My score was Locals slippers (flip-flops) and a traditional mexican poncho. The poncho was only $20! Quite a steal campared to Zumiez cost of $40! I love buying Local and next time I'm at Alki I will definitely hit this shop up again. read more

I love this new shop, which is chock full of just about anything you could possibly want to enjoy your time on Alki Beach, including your very own ukelele! Need a mat because you forgot your towel? A towel because you forgot your mat? Something for your kids to play with while they romp in the sand? This shop carries it all! And Terri and Dave, the lovely, enthusiastic couple you will find running the place, designed and produced the coolest items in the shop, which are super-soft and colorful hoodies that will keep you warm if you encounter unexpected wind. I strongly recommend that you check out this charming little place. You will find yourself returning every time you hit Alki, and they will always have what you need! read more

This shop is absolutely a gem and a must visit if you're in the area. Kahuna Dave made us feel welcome and gave us an experience we'll never forget. Definitely a highlight of my trip to Seattle. Mahalo! read more

Kahuna Dave is the best. Super nice guy and cute shop. Def a spot to shop at for souvenirs or beach gear!

Very charming little shop with a rustic, Hawaiian ambiance. I enjoyed perusing the items and chatting with the owner. It was an enjoyable shopping experience even though I only bought a pair of sunglasses made of recycle material. Highly recommend dropping in especially if you have out of town guests or are looking for Seattle gifts for friends. read more
