Still solid at five stars but I like this place so much for surf gear and accessories, and they have such a cool logo, that I bought a bunch of stuff for friends on the mainland as their Christmas gifts. Super great shop, extra cool owner family. I wrapped them hard on my scooter too

This shop does not look so large from outside. Once you enter, the surfboards and wetsuits are on the left side, center has some cool clothes. Very nice customer service. A little discount for Kamaaina. Non surfers like us, liked the store.

Purchased this 9 footer for under 250!!

They set me up with a beginner board that cost under 250. They have great prices, a great staff on **board**, and a great selection. You can get anything from a 200 dollar board to a 5000 dollar board. They've got what seems like an endless supply of boards. Check this place out before you make any purchases elsewhere - they probably offer the exact same thing at a lower price.

One of two that got repaired

My first time sending a board for repair at Surf Garage. The service is great but the repair job was pretty bad. I paid $140 for two fin box repairs and didn't come our well. I dont know who they use but my opinion not to good.

A huge thank you to the entire staff at Moku Surf Rentals. Every single person I interacted with…read moreover the last five days was beyond kind, friendly, helpful, and professional. Just a class-act group of people. I've been surfing for 18 years and have done around 15 international surf trips. I usually travel with my own boards, but I've also rented from plenty of surf shops over the years. I can genuinely say that my experience with every single employee here was absolutely epic. I rented your boards for 5 days & paddled out with the owner who is a splitting image of the operation staff. - friendly, knowledgeable, trusting, flexible, adds value. I also really appreciate the way you price your rentals. $25 for a quality surfboard when many other places are charging considerably more says a lot. You Molu guys clearly care about your customers, their experience, the ocean, Oahu, and the sport of surfing. And a special thank you for how you handled my little mishap! After 18 years of surfing and thousands of waves, I somehow managed to buckle my first surfboard. I caught my best wave of 2026 thought I had kicked out cleanly, and somehow the board came out of it buckled. I felt horrible like the time I was 16 years old & crashed my moms car. But you all treated me with grace and understanding. The staff couldn't have been nicer about it. Of course, I took responsibility and paid my fair share for the damage, but I really appreciated how professionally and reasonably you handled the situation. You represent Oahu and the surfing community incredibly well. You deserve a monopoly of Hawaii surf rentals. If you're reading this review and looking for a board--whether you're a beginner, intermediate, or advanced surfer--this is an A+ operation. Great people, great boards, fair prices, and outstanding customer service. Give these guys your business. They deserve it. Mahalo to the entire Moku Surf Rentals team for making my five days of surfing in Waikiki that much better!

No more dragging boards on planes, car rentals and parking worries! Moku is right at Waikiki,…read moregreat board selection, price and OPEN past sunset so no panicking to hurry back! Good merch too!

I have stopped in here over the years, to check in on board rentals for visiting relatives, etc…read more They have a nice selection of just about everything you need, fins, wax, rash guards, bodyboards and fins, surboards and rentals, etc. With the covid-19 shut downs, it was difficult to find surf shops open, just to buy wax. Things are still shut down, but Koa board Sports will let you do in-store shopping. All you have to do is call the number, and within a few minutes they will open the shop for you. I needed to buy a new fin for my longboard, and they have an excellent assortment of used fins at reasonable prices. Picked up a used 10 inch fin for $40 and it was just what I needed for my 9' 9" longboard! They also have a good selection of newer fins from different manufacturers, but the used fin was exactly what I wanted, so no need buy new. I came by another time and picked up a leash, and another time they opened up so that I could look through their rash guards. So yes, a little humbug to have to call the number and wait a couple of minutes for them to come down and open the shop, but they are still making themselves available to their customers. Parking is easy, just park right in front of the shop. You won't find a better selection in the Waikiki area.

Completely horrible experience. Was super stoked to come back to this shop on my trip. Walked…read moreover to the shop....'By Appointment only'......was on the door. Odd? Middle of the day on a Thursday. So I called, made an appointment for Saturday afternoon. No dice. I came back on Monday....no answer to the phone. Left message. No call back. Called again Tuesday, "I can't talk now, I'll call you back".....no return call. I tried again Thursday late morning, no answer. Thought I would walk over just for the heck of it, sometimes when you roll the dice you win. I got there and the proprietor was letting in another lady and her daughter into the store. I told them I had tried calling, scheduling, and was having a really hard time getting in to BUY things. She told me I could not come in...."Appointment Only". Are you kidding me? DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!!! - They have a great selection, but did not want to sell any of it ; )

I always make a point to stop here when I'm visiting. They have a great selection of clothing…read morepieces and jackets and backpacks. The service is good, they will always help you find sizes. They often have HIC only sales so keep an eye out for that. The prices are comparable to others in the mall, but I do feel like the selection and variety here at HIC is better.

Went to a store at Alamoana today to get slippers. Not one…read morepressing greeted me when I went in. Three people walk right past me ... some grumpy woman who was building something on the wall... this other young boy looking at me like what are you doing in my store? While the whole time I'm trying to figure out the sizes and the straps for them make your own slippers. There was a bunch of sales people behind the register talking to who I found out was the regional manager. I was gonna talk to him about the service, but he looked grumpy as hell so I thought it wouldn't even make a difference if I talk to him. Finally the girl who rang me up got the right straps for my slippers put it all together and gave me the buy one get 1/2 off discount. But in all ... no aloha in that store. It could've been a mainland store. Sometimes I don't understand our local people who work in service oriented jobs ... No aloha. Mahalo, I will not be back.
