I spent the day at Hale'iwa Ali'i Beach Park and noticed "Hale'iwa Surf Shop" across the street…read more I visited three surf shops while exploring the North Shore, and this was my favorite of the three. It is located in a house that has been converted into a retail shop. It is quaint and unassuming. It has some major brand inventory--but the majority of its stock is clothing and accessories of their own design. They have some designs that feature a "bridge" (a nod to the nearby bridge that crosses the Anahulu River), and some designs that feature a rooster (a wink to all of those feral chickens that you see running around). You can go to their website for online shopping--but the online shop does not have all of the items available in store. Sometimes I think the term "authentic" is overused nowadays; but the shop does feel "of a place".

Surf N Sea...YES PLEASE! My husband and I were looking to…read morerent a kayak on the North Shore, and Surf N Sea popped up in my search. Not only are the prices reasonable, but the service is great too. They made sure we had everything we needed for our kayaking adventure. We didn't need instruction as we're experienced, but it was nice to know that it was offered if needed. They also rent SUP's. The actual Surf N Sea store has SO MUCH stuff...clothes, swimwear, flip flops, and more. They even sell water and sodas. Plus, they have a bathroom. Not sure if it's for everyone, but they offered it to us she once we were going to kayak. The service in here is great too! If in the area, stop in Surf N Sea, you'll find everything you need and more!

You can…read morerent gear for surfing, stand up paddle boarding, snorkeling, freediving, scuba, and even kayaking. They even offer lessons and tours. If you're looking to do any water activities and don't have the gear, this is a great spot on the North Shore. I mostly come here to shop, they have all the best surf / beach brands. Which is great since most surf brands have closed down their physical locations. They have racks on racks of awesome swimsuits and clothes. I love looking through all of their surf competition shirts. I think the last time we bought a surf comp shirt we even got the matching poster for free! I also bought my short fins here and was able to find a really cute pair. The service here was super nice and helpful when looking for a pair of fins. Now I'm in the market for longer freediving fins and this is the spot I'm gonna check out the next time I'm in Haleiwa.

We had so much fun here!! They had some fresh, homemade, all natural gelato which was delicious.

I must have "tourist" stamped on my face, because when I asked about consignment boards all I got was a blank look.

The owner is nice, friendly, and knowledgeable. There is a lot of variety, and back in the day is a perfect name. I was amazed at all the memories that came back will looking around. I think the prices are high, but then again it is about collectibles and nostalgia.

I love magical places like these. It's a bit hard to find since it was off into the distance of…read morewhere we were in the parking lot, at the old Waialua Sugar Mill. This location is rich with history, and it's befitting that this little antique shop is sitting in the middle of an area that goes back in time. I am old enough to remember the Waialua Sugar Mill burning cane back in the 90's as I drove to Mokuleia Beach and seeing black debris of flying burnt sugar cane drift across my car windshield, along with smoke. The mill closed down in 1996 then became abandoned over time, then opened back up with new shops and little local stores, like this one. It's a very tiny store, no bigger than a small studio, but has a variety of really nice antiques crammed with vintage Pyrex, glassware, clothing, Pan-Am bags, hat boxes, costume jewelry, and anything else you care to explore. The owner Etsuko is super friendly and we spent a while discussing vintage clothing, barware, jewelry and the finer things that were important in life in the days when things were meant to last and not fall apart after a season of use. I'm already wondering when I can go back to visit, as I had a great time there. The hours vary, so call before you go at (808) 778-5332.

Unfortunately, the customer service was very disappointing. My wife and I visited the store while…read moreshe was looking for some shirts, but not a single staff member greeted us or offered to help. The employees seemed irritated, avoided making eye contact, and didn't create a welcoming atmosphere. This store is in a high traffic tourist area, so providing friendly and welcoming customer service should be a priority. A simple greeting or offer of assistance goes a long way and can make a big difference in a customer's experience. I hope the staff receive additional customer service training, as a more positive and attentive approach would benefit both customers and the business.

Plus shorts, bikinis, foot wear and beach going supplies. They got some surfing supplies covered too - I mean it is a surf shop. A couple of friendly teen (I assume) employees right there to make sure we found everything we were looking for. Bought a 2 shirts with nice graphics. Prices were ok, not bargain but not outrageous and they feel thicker than the usual shirts being sold

A friend recommended I check out Carl Schaper's shop located in the Waialua Sugar Mill. Shop located a ways in, but just look for the Schaper flags and you're good to go. Damo the office manager and Carl the owner worked with me to set up the specs on my custom order. Helped me to dial in a "realistic set-up" for my transitioning needs. Got my new custom board in 3 weeks! Wasn't sure what to expect since I'm dusting off the "kook" shell and working my way back into the line up. The board has been a gem! Helping me to remember what it was like to surf as a youngster grom back in the day. Ending up getting a "Fish Stick." Was the right transitional board for me. Carl and Damo, you called it! Mahalo! Fair is fair go check them out!

They also sell sea shells, pipes and some hand made jewelry as well. I come here for their acai bowls! I honestly believe they are the best on the island. They can be a bit pricey at $8.25 to start and it comes with bananas, granola and honey. You can add on additional fruit for a dollar and they have bees pollen as a topping as well. The size of the bowl is like a big ramen so you get a lot for your money. The staff is usually really nice, local folks. I love coming here after the beach on a hot day for my acai fix!

When the shop doesn't open at the times they say they will, it's hard to give a good review…read more The shop is suppose to open at 10am, but I waited around until 10:45 and no one came. I asked a woman at a nearby store when One Love Surf Shop would open. She rolled her eyes and said, "whenever they feel like it." Apparently sometimes they open, sometimes they don't. Not too sure how a business can survive with that lack of structure. ‍ Oh well.
