We had such a great experience renting our snorkeling gear and beach chairs while we were in Kauai for a week! Everything was so convenient and easy. They were extremely accommodating and made everything hassle-free, including pickup and returns whenever it worked best for us. The gear was great, the chairs were perfect for our beach days, and the convenience made our vacation even better. If you're visiting Kauai and need snorkeling gear or beach chairs, I highly recommend them! read more

Stopped into Nukumoi Surf Company in Poipu and really liked the spot. The staff was friendly and helpful, and they have a good selection of island clothing and hats. The location has a fun local vibe with chickens and their chicks wandering around while roosters patrol the beach right outside. They also appear to offer surfboard and equipment rentals. A nice little shop right by Poipu Beach. The prices are comparable to other places on Kauai and are made of quality materials. read more

Nukumoi Surf Co - Branded Nukumoi hat - Sports Wear Near Me - Poipu, Hawaii

Staff members were very helpful, prices were decent for Poipu. It's owned by the same people who own Brennecke's restaurant next door where we've dined several times on our visits. I didn't sunscreen well on our first day which would've ruined my vacation. After searching 7 different surf shops or beach clothing stores we visited Nukumoi where I purchased a great rash guard for a decent price along with new trunks, Hawaiian shirt and a beautiful beach cover up for my wife. read more

Bigger surf shop right across from Poʻipū Beach Park. Tons of gear, clothes, and accessories plus a big parking lot which makes it super easy to pop in. Great place if you need surf rentals or just want to shop around before hitting the beach ‍ read more

Rented snorkel gear. Quality was good. It was advertised as $30 a set but at drop off payment there was a "rental service charge" that the lady added to the invoice for $6 and then reduced to $4 -all without saying anything. I then inquired about it and she said it's for the staff answering questions and washing the gear etc. Honestly this seems like a shady way to give yourself a tip. Wish they would just build any fees into the price or clearly state it ahead of time instead of feeling coerced to pay surprise fees at pickup. read more

Run, don't walk away. No returns no exchanges even if you literally just purchased anything from them . Employees don't care, rude, unhelpful not a place to visit What a shame. I will leave with this last note, No where does it say No Returns No Exchanges! No receipt given! read more

Super friendly employees from the time of rental to the time we returned our beach chairs and umbrella. Very easy process and the equipment was in great condition for reasonable rates. read more

The service was impeccable! I don't remember her name, but user #4147 on the receipt. She was very understanding and reminded us if we needed something else. Which we did and this happened more than 3 times. Lol Thanks for making our vacation much more pleasant. The guy in another store, pretty much told us to go elsewhere. Which we did! read more

Being a surfer from CA, the owner and staff we were welcoming. Even I did not surf, the owner hand picked boards for me similar to the one back home. Of coarse Channel Islands surfboard. Supporr the local surf shops and thank you for the Aloha. read more

I rented a bodyboard $10 for the day. 1 week rental for $30. What a deal! The staff was super friendly and they also have surf lessons. The staff actually surfs here! They also have a great selection of Bodyboards and bodyboard fins! I would highly recommend them for any of your surfing needs. read more

Beach chairs and umbrella were clean and almost new. Staff was kind and helpful. The cost for the week was the same as only 2 days through the resort. read more

Great service and surfing lessons. We had Jonah as our instructor and he was great. He taught us the basics and had solid feedback after every attempt. He also really knew the waves well so we maximized every opportunity to catch a wave. We caught more waves than all the other instructors in the area. Had a blast learning how to surf! read more

Do what you can to find a different board shop for rentals. Rented a channel island surfboard that was clearly a rental with many, different blemishes and dings. When I went to return the board, I had added a small ding to an existing blemish, but the store employees put the blame for the subpar condition of the board for only using it 2 sessions and accused me of trying to repair it myself (by putting resin on an epoxy board)...which I would never do and told them that. Why would I pay to fix a rental board if the rental spot would charge me anyway? Additionally, when i said I wasn't responsible for the other existing dings they immediately assumed I was an inexperienced surfer without ever talking to me and saying mainland people shouldn't be surfing in Hawaii...this was nonesense since I've surfed half my life at harder breaks then where I went to in Kauai. The before pictures supported me saying the dings weren't my fault, but the older woman working insisted that 'we will compromise and you pay for 1 ding and I pay for the other ding'... The leashes are also old and easily come off. In my 2 sessions, the leash came off twice by the Velcro. When I said that in passing to the employee/owner, she had to chime in that I didn't know how to put on a leash and then demonstrated putting it together and yanking it, which any surfer knows is different than when you're in water with tension and sand. She acted like I was simple. Regardless, I paid for my portion of the ding but will never go back here and urge others to go to other rental spots. The customer service was awful and the pretentiousness of the 'professional' surf woman who had to run a surf shop was beyond unacceptable read more

Loved this little surf shop in Poipu Beach. They had a great selection of boards and snorkels. We bought a few tshirts, too! Cheaper than other spots in the area. Service was low key and easy. read more

I'm no surfer but I was out snorkeling and cut my hand up really bad. I walked in to see if they had a first aid kit for sale and the very nice lady at the register pulled out a huge first aid kit and gave me what I needed. Thank you very much!! Very clean and organized shop and a lot of clothing also. I'll be back to shop the awesome clothes you have. Very friendly!! Thanks again! read more

My family had a wonderful experience with Rochelle and Nukumoi Surf Co. The surf shop has a great selection of items and staff was knowledgable and supportive. Our daughters had an amazing lesson (12 and 8yo) catching many waves along with some aloha and the surf stoke. They are hooked and can't wait to surf some more. We are super grateful for Rochelle's expertise, professionalism, and inspiring attitude. Definitely leaving Kauai with some great memories. Mahalo! read more

Such amazing people! Such amazing product and rentals. Support local, we do! Each and every time we stop in Poipu on way to Big Island we stop here for gifts and with ease find something for everyone on the list. We love it! read more

These guys were awesome! We rented snorkels and a surf board for a week! Reasonably priced!

Take a lot of photos of your rental board before you ever rent a board here. The girl who rented me the board did not ask me to look it over carefully when I rented it. Upon return they pointed out a couple minor dings and charged me a "haole" ding repair fee - I know what it costs to fix dings and a squirt of Solarez would have fixed one of them. On top of that, rental girl actually told me that a smaller fin could not be put in the 2 plus 1 center fin box which was not true to say the least. I have been surfing for 55 years and have owned dozens of boards. When I tried to explain to her how a fin box works with a sliding plate and screw she became rude and argumentative with me. Rent elsewhere, you will definitely get a cheaper board with a salesperson who actually know a thing or 2 about surfboards. Mahalo read more

Super friendly service. Cheap surfboard rental, $8/hour $45/day for soft top. Quality of the soft top is not the greatest, lots of dings, but they serve their purpose. You wont be charged for damage unless the board cracks in half apparently. The gentleman handing out the boards in the front had great stories and tips. Short walk to Poipu Beach, but for beginners, drive yourself and the board toward the Sheraton, where there are some public street parking, and go for the beach break between the Sheraton and Marriott. There are some dangerous reef breaks, so please ask if you are not sure. read more

It is not well marked on the outside for the Aloha shop, which is located inside. Then once I finally found the Aloha shop which is inside. they had a very very small choice of Aloha bags read more

I rented a board here and bought some merchandise from the shop. The rental surfboard was ok. Had some dings on it but served its purpose. I scraped on the reef a couple of time but no noticeable damage, plus it had some cracks on the rails so "no harm no foul" The shirts, and other merchandise were nice. I bought t-shirts and earrings for my daughter. I'd probably bring my own board next time but it's definitely a nice shop. Check it out! read more

Awesome place to rent gear if you're at Poipu Beach and want to snorkel or boogie board. The staff was super nice and helpful. Definitely made our experience streamline and fun. They were even nice enough to play with my baby outside after we returned our stuff. Come here if you need any gear. They've got what you need. read more

Loved this place. Close to the beach. Check it out and grab a bite next door. They were awesome and fairly priced

Ended up loosing the boogie board that I rented and got charged for the boogie board which is fair but also got charged for rental. I feel like if I am paying for a completely new board they could skip the rental charge if they want to keep me as a customer. If you are staying at a hotel you are way better off renting from a hotel. In case you were to lose the board it would only be $40 read more

Stopped by to rent some snorkels for a couple of hours. Turns out it was only $4 each set ALL DAY!!! That was so amazingly low, that I also rented chairs and bought a tank top. The staff were all young, but really polite and friendly. No hassle, easy rentals and really affordable!!! read more

Minimal board selection, mid service, charged me 135$ for a scratched fin. For sure not coming back here again.

This surf shop is a gem. The workers were super helpful. They are located across from the beach and next to Puka Dogs. They rent equipment and sell bathing suits and gear. I went inside with a broken snorkel and they fixed me right up. Mahalo! read more

A group of 7 of us booked a surf lesson while on vacation on Saturday 2/8/2020. 1 member of our party got injured before he could paddle out to meet an instructor and sat on the beach the entire team not even touch a board. Our instructors were awesome and told us we should heard back into the store to find out if a refund was possible. We head back to the store (Nukumoi Surf Shop) and speak with a girl there who says, let's wait until the owner is back in on Monday to confirm but we will get this taken care of for you. I call on Tuesday to confirm the refund is possible and the INCREDIBLY RUDE AND UNHELPFUL MAN I SPOKE TO, named TRAVIS, said that the man who was injured in our party was walking so therefore we cannot just issue a refund without a doctors note. He also claims to be the manager in charge and that he has no idea when the owner will be in. The last time I checked, being able to walk does not mean that someone can swim, let alone surf. Our injured party member spent the rest of the days on the island hobbling around and didn't even touch the water after he was hurt. As this review is coming from me hanging up my phone with Travis and sitting in the airport, I'm very confused as to the extreme lack of customer service. All in all, there's plenty of surf schools in Kauai, so it may be best to go to one where they actually care about their guests who are coming in as first timers looking for an adventure. read more

Staff very friendly. The fish food they sell works crazy good for snorkeling - dried seaweed in rice paper. The fish come and feed. Had a sale rack too of women surf wear. Have kid, women and men clothing. Decent prices for snorkel rentals. Also rent chairs and boards. We did not rent anything but sharing. read more

Amazing surf shop and surf instructors! Rochelle and Taylor had all of us up, riding waves and getting better with each ride. Great instruction started at the shop then we received helpful tips throughout our lesson. We had an absolute blast. Do not hesitate to- book with Rochelle now! Pick up some cool gear from the shop too! read more

Awesome beach rental shop in Poipu beach. The shop is located right next to the beach by the shops and parking. This was the only place in Kaua'i that had a Yelp check in deal. 25% off your second rental. They were also running a ton of sales on their merchandise and equipment rentals. They have cute clothes, hats and shoes for sale for men, women and children. Tons of funny puns. I am regetting not buying more souvenirs from here. They were super cheap and very orginal compared to a lot of the other shops. Staff is so friendly and willing to help you. We rented 2 boogie boards for the whole day and ended up paying $14. Equipment is clean and of good quality. Defitinely recommend renting snorkel masks and fins. Shaka! read more

Surf Instructors Jimmy and Austin were a lot of fun to talk with and they worked well with each and every person in our group. They helped everyone in our group get up as least once and always had a positive attitude to help motivate us. These guys helped bring the Hawaiian island surf feeling to the group. I highly recommend them! read more

Great service. Reasonable prices. Keep in mind when you check out a surf board, it is your responsibility to check the board along with the person giving you the board. Take photos if you need to. If you did not see the ding when checking out the board and you return it with a ding... that is your fault. You caused the ding. Selection is good for surfboards. We got premium surf boards but have to go early and/or call ahead of time. Body boards.... Not very good. Need to retire a few.... BUT if just for beginners or your kid then perfect as not much to worry about the condition when you bring back as much. read more

We had a blast, and for my first time surfing I loved it, I would highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn how to surf!

Rented 3 boogie boards, returned them at 7am. Place didn't open until 745am, but i had to be in Waimea by 8am. I caught one of the workers outside and asked her if I can return them now at 7am cause I had to be on Waimea by 8am and didn't want to pay for another day. The kind girl, helped me out and let me return them and gave me a copy of my receipt even though they didn't open for another 45mins! And because of that cool customer service, they have a customer here for good! Thank you read more

I stopped in here quickly to return the umbrella and beach chairs my group rented for a couple hours. The store is super nice, it has clothing, sandals, towels, beach bags, bathing suits, and of course beach gear for rent and purchase. All the employees were helpful and nice. If you are indeed of anything for the beach do not hesitate to stop in! If you check in on yelp you get 25% off your rental! :) read more

Nukumoi Surf Co - Sports Wear Near Me - Poipu, Hawaii

Very nice and friendly staffs. We rented the surfboard for 2 days and happy with their service. Many cute stuffs.

Prices are good, convenient location, and the rental process is simple. HOWEVER, we were left questioning their sanitation practices when 3 of us got sick with HFM disease after renting snorkeling kits. We may not be able to trace 100%, but it's an odd coincidence that our group rented 3 snorkels and out of everyone, only us 3 got sick. Be sure to sanitize gear yourself if you rent here read more

I was down at Brennekes beach with my friend and we were in dire need of some snorkels, so we walked up to a Nukumoi's and this very kind young lady named Sienna helped us out. She was so thorough and quick and she got us exactly what we asked for. Sienna is a amazing worker and the snorkels are great quality. 10/10! read more
