Mike was a lifesaver and a total pleasure to deal with. It was my first time on the Garden Isle and…read moreI wasnt able to bring my bodyboard over from the mainland. All i brought with me were my swim fins and an extra bicep leash I had. I was looking for a legit bodyboard rental and the shops I had been to and/or the beach side rental shacks had boards that just werent up to par. I was down the road at Tamba buying tees and the guy there (thankfully) referred me to Kapaa Beach Shop when I asked if he knew of any places that had quality bodyboard rentals. He told me Mike at KBS rented Mike Stewart Science Bodyboards.... The look of shock on my face was probably photo worthy. I couldnt believe the type of place I had been looking for was just down the road. It was already my 2nd time in Kapaa by that point. Kapaa Beach Shop is on your right side along Kuhio Highway if you are coming from the Lihue area. It's right after Chicken in a Barrel BBQ. It has about 4 dedicated spaces out front in its gravel driveway. They rent everything from beach umbrellas, chairs, bicycles, diving and snorkeling gear... You name it. You need it for the beach, he has it. It was jamming with customers the both times I went there but Mike was gracious and helpful with all of us. I was able to rent a hybrid Mike Stewart Science bodyboard which I used at a few beaches on the island. It was great. Thick board with lots of float to it, making catching waves easier. It also came with a Gyroll bicep leash... It was like a setup I would gladly have every day back home. I'm thankful to Mike for the Aloha and just being super cool in providing a quality rental. We chatted it up a bit and you can tell he is legit and really knows his stuff. I HIGHLY recommend you go see Mike at Kapaa Beach Shop for all your beach rental needs. He is the man. Mahalos Mike! Shout out to Chaos the shop dog at KBS. Chee!

Do not come here for surfboard rentals. Here are three reasons why:…read more 1. **Higher Prices**: This is not the cheapest place to rent surfboards. My family and I initially wanted to rent from a different shop, but they close early in the afternoon. So, we ended up at Backdoor Surf instead. I recommend going to Hanalei Surfboard Rentals instead; it's cheaper, and they offer both half-day and full-day options. You can check them out at [Hanalei Surfboard Rentals](https://hanaleisurfboardrentals.com/). I'm not affiliated with them; I just had a really good experience, and they loaded the boards onto our car quickly. 2. **Long Wait Times and Attitude**: At Backdoor Surf, they spend a long time inspecting the boards and handling paperwork, but that's not the worst part. One of the store associates, David, was quite rude while loading the boards onto our car. My mother asked me to watch him so I could learn how to put the boards back on the car rack when we returned. I told her I already knew how to do it, and David interjected, "Then why don't you do it?" He had a poor attitude while loading the boards, despite us paying over $80 for two surfboards and one paddleboard. Another associate, Kira, told us that David would load the boards and he still gave us an attitude, and it took him about 20-30 minutes to do it. 3. **Poor Customer Service**: Kira started rambling about her personal problems during our visit, while David provided terrible service and only acted friendly when we returned the boards. **Summary**: Choose another rental place if you prefer to be treated professionally by those you are paying and if you value timely service.
