First timer body boarder, and I needed some gear, so a couple friends pointed me in this direction. Went in on a Saturday and employee Sean helped me out. His customer service from beginning to end was excellent. He helped me select a board and fins that match. (Yes that mattered to me). Lol. He put my leash on my board, tethers on my fins and I was good to go. Thank you so much for your help. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and would return if/when I need anything for my new hobby. read more

662 Ride Shop Hawaii - Triad bodyboard and Yucca fins - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I call this the "self-destruction of ones own business." There was a sign on the door that said "we will be back in 10 minutes." I waited for about 15 minutes and another customer walked up and started waiting with me. We waited another 5 minutes and another customer walked up and started waiting. The third guy noticed there was someone in the store. I peered in and the guy inside waved. I thought the wave was to come in, but the door was still locked. He seemed annoyed and walked around the counter and to the front door. He cracked the door and asked if I wanted anything specific and I said, "not really I just wanted to look around." And he said," sorry we don't have anything for sale right now." Instagram announced it was open and ready for business like 5 days prior. Take your "be back in 10 minutes sign" and just put a closed sign. I saw so many bad reviews here but decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. I was prepared to get a new board, leash, wax, etc but now I'm just going to order online. Now instead of supporting a local business I'm going to be aiding to the failure of the local business. read more

662 Ride Shop Hawaii - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

662 Ride Shop is located on the ground floor of McCully Shopping Center, which usually has a lot of open parking if it's not around peak hours like lunchtime or right after work. I was looking for some beach gear for a friend that's in from out of town, but I didn't realize how expensive it would be. The guy working was friendly and knowledgeable, but it showed me that for someone that just wants to splash around in the water, I need to be checking out a cheaper location like Walmart. This location does have a good amount of boogie boards and other beach gear, and has kind of a "skater vibe" to it. read more

See all

Located in McCully Shopping Center on the 1st floor. We stopped by to see if they had some beach fins. They have shirts, lots of boogie boards, fins, some hat, and other clothes & accessories! We forgot to catch his name but we went on a Saturday afternoon and the guy who helped us was so helpful. He let me try on all different duck feet fins, different size, colors. Since my fins felt slightly loose, he recommended putting this attachment on the back so it's more fitted! Then it was perfect! He also helped my husband pick out his fins! He was so helpful and friendly! Thank you for you help! read more

I have to say these guys are great and the store is packed with nice gear. Not knowing a lot about body boards, they took the time to educate me on brands, sizes, types, etc. Then we moved to fins, and finally a new body surfing hand board. I even grabbed a couple shirts for the kids with some killer designs. I had a great time shopping this very fun and professional establishment. This is our new stop for toys and education. I wish they carried freediving great so I could get all my gear in one place, but this new hobbie will keep us coming back. Mahalo guys! read more

Went to buy a pair of fins at 3:45 on Friday. Sign says "back in 10 minutes" waited 20 minutes, nobody returned. Went to McCully Bicycle and bought the fins. Starve this place, they are not open when they say they are. read more

A very knowledgeable staff on hand to answer my questions. The two gentlemen working the shop this Saturday were very helpful, and a wealth of knowledge between them on their product line. It was easy to make a decision on which board I needed. I appreciate the options provided, efficient service. read more

I've been getting back into bodyboarding due to some injuries and Jerrett was a huge help. Wish I had talked with him first instead of seeking advice online. When they tell you that you need a smaller board then it's best to just listen. Leverage is more important than extra size or float especially when it comes to waves with power. The good news is that I still had a really fun winter season despite riding less-than ideal equipment and can still use my big board for fun mushy days. BTW the pho place upstairs is pretty good too. read more

Best variety of fins and boards. Super helpful. They also carried the UDT Duck feet fins in black, orange, and blue. They are so hard to find. I ended up with Da Fin Mark Cunningham special. Free of color which is a great change. The foot pocket is extremely soft while the blade is stiff. Cannot wait to try them out. read more

662 Ride Shop Hawaii - Mark Cunningham. Super soft foot pocket and a stiff blade. Hope they continue to keep a lighter colored versions. So tired of black. - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Went to purchase a new bodyboard. Online info indicated shop opens at 10:00 and was open. Got there at 11:00 and sign says ope. At 10:00 but the doors were locked. Saw two guys in there...One Opening boxes of Boards and one behind computer... Both saw us standing and knocking at the door. Was ignored for at least 10 Mins. Guy behind the computer, facing us at the door, finally stood up and made an X with his arms. Guess it meant not open. Well, hello.... come to the darn door and say so or post a sign !!!! Will never go back to do business there!!!! read more

Great selection of boards and fins. Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff. Cute, friendly fur-bearing concierge named "Gigi". Fun place to shop. I went multiple times, torn between 4 brands of fins, and met 3 different associates--all very patient and helpful. read more

Not the friendliest place to shop. Rolled up in here on a Saturday a while back and the dude just wouldn't smile. I liked what he had in the store but due to bad service I passed this place up and bought some things from McCully bike. read more

Matt had exceptional knowledge about all products and was more than happy to help me with finding the right equipment for my needs. Large selection of body boards and fins, plus some cool gear for the guys and gals. Mahalo Matt! read more

Went into the store with no "Welcome". Salesperson seating on the seat behind the counter. My nephew wanted to buy a spring wet suit. He wanted to try on an XS. clerk: it look small if he's going to try it on. Me: well we don't know how the sizes run. Clerk: well I don't know too, we just got it in. Didn't even stand up to help us look for sizes. Also ask for Gyroll leash Clerk: said its right over there were it says Gyroll. Sarcasm!!! What!!! No sales personality. Wouldn't shop in here again. read more

Wow, wish I would have read the last review by Randy M. before wasting my time coming to this place. Saw their website, which advertised a sale, so thought we'd go in to see what they had in person. First off, how does a shop that's a chain run out of their own brand of items? Second, why are there no prices on anything? Third, there was no sign of the sale we saw online. Fourth, the customer service was horrible. The only guy there was more interested in looking at pics on his laptop than helping us. He seemed inconvenienced while talking to us, pointed to the higher priced boards in stock, and mentioned that they had none of the cheaper fins on hand, as they can't keep them in stock (doesn't that tell you that you need to order a larger quantity?). Don't waste your time here. read more

I gave one star only cuz the store was open. READ THE REVIEWS. especially the negative ones. I read it and still try to give this place the benefit of the doubt. Cool stuff inside but the owner of the franchise MATT is a real rude don't care ass hole. I mean it. I went with my daughter to look for fins which on the website 662hi.com said there were 4 in stock. I showed Matt the item and he said we don't have those. That site you looking at is just a catalog. BS. It's ordering system comes from the mainland. Is what he said. Anywho I continued to look for something similar. No such luck and he still continued with his ass holiness. Plus most things in the store has no price tag so he can charge whatever he likes. We left the store and went to other surf shops and bought items there. It still bothered me so I called 662 board shop in the mainland. CA and talk to this kind man named ALEX. He assured me that whatever MATT was telling me wasn't true. And that he has been notified of MATTS rudeness. I'm shocked that this store is still open. BBB should shut it down or at least have the actual owner of 662 replace MATT with someone who is a good nice and friendly associate. HIGHLY STRESS NOT TO SHOP ON 662hi.com ANDDDD DONT BOTHER GOING TO THE STORE IN MCCULLY on Kapiolani Unless you like leave in handcuffs for beating this guy up. read more

After walking about 2 miles to get to this shop we arrived to the retail man unlocking the door, approximately a half hour from closing to Ike. We walk in explaining to the man that we walked "10 miles" to get there, obviously not true, and then laughing. He says nothing. I ask him if he carries a specific brand and he tells me "nope" while packing a box and being far too busy to provide customer service. We ask if there was another shop - he got very short with us. When asked for a specific color of tank top he spoke condescending to us with "isn't there a white tank with blue?" We explain how upset we are about not finding anything and we got "swing and miss." The rudest guy ever!! Even if they had what we wanted I wouldn't have bought it. Never ever ever would I recommend thiS place. read more

If you are looking to buy a good board and fins 662 is the place to go. Matt was great. He spent a lot of time with my son in purchasing a new board. I was very appreciative of all the time he spent with us. I even bought a board and fins. If you want great customer service this is the place to go!!!! read more

They have a great selection and fit a lot into a small space. I Went in here prepared to spend 250ish on a new board and board bag. I'm inexperienced and don't know a lot. The guy gave me one word answers to the question I asked and did not seem welcoming or friendly. I Will go to another shop to get my starter board. I wish I had come in when someone else was working. The guy was not overtly rude but I sensed that he wanted me to leave so he could go back to his laptop. read more

Located on the first floor McCully center, between Phuket Thai and Regal Bakery. They carry some half body suits. I like their selections. read more

My sons want to start bodyboarding braddah man left a bad taste in my mouth oh well. read more

they know their stuff but are extremely unfriendly. Tried to ask questions about different boards and was repeatedly called out for not knowing certain things about specific boards in their store. super weird. read more

This shop has it ALL! From the best products for Bodysurfing, Bodyboarding or just going to the beach! Matt was VERY helpful and VERY knowledgeable in helping me find the right gear I needed! I STRONGLY suggest that you go and check this awesome shop! The customer service I got from Matt was unmatched to any surf shop I've ever been too! Much Mahaloz again Brahdah Matt! Aloha! read more

I like 662 because each of their employees have given me straight-forward, respectful advice. I like their products and their specialized knowledge of Bodysurfing. Parking is good, either in front or in the underground garage in back. Trust the Bull. read more

poor selection compared to online. NO PRICES MARKED ON ANY BOARDS OR FINS!!!! No sales help at all!!! Crazy how do places like this stay in business (or do they). read more

Got here on a weekday. Glad the traffic was not bad but it could be because kids go back to school in two days. Came here because I have wide feet and fins are that fit perfect are hard to come by. Looked every where from T&C to HIC and other local surf shops in the central to west oahu. Finally came to 662 ride shop where Matt helped me pick the best fin for my needs. I was the only one in the store so I got the VIP treatment. Matt asked the right questions, sat me down and gave me a few fins to try on. He really knew his stuff. If you're looking for swim fins, check here first. They're always in stock and have the latest equipment. Don't waste your time looking at other stores only to find out they don't have your size. Swim fins that is. They have a line of 662 clothing and body board accesories. They also have Gopro cameras and accessories for them too. Just wished they had a shop in Central Oahu. Maybe that new shopping mall opening up in Ewa? wishful thinking. read more

662 Ride Shop Hawaii - Picked these bad boys up today. Went to many stores looking for just the right pair of fins. Staff here are very knowledgable. - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

662 is not just a place to buy body boards and fins, they educate as well. When i first went there 3 years ago, they advised me on what board and fins to get for my skill level. The store is owned by a pro body boarder and he taught me in the store how to bodyboard. Last week after losing a fin, i went back to the store (which has about 15 brands) to but a new pair. The gentleman that helped me was a pro photographer and avid bodyboarder. He helped me with everything i needed and even showed me footage from that morning at waimea that he had shot while he helped me with tips for form and style. He was so passionate about helping me and the sport! This place is it if you are a bodyboarder on Oahu. read more

I came here to get my very first bodyboard yesterday. I can say they've got a customer for life now. The store is kind of tucked away in the Mccully shopping plaza. The environment of the store is pretty sick, and the staff is very knowledgeable of their products. The staff member help me pick a board, size me for it, pick some fins, and gave me countless tips. Plus some free bubble gum wax for free. Definitely 5 stars. read more

Matt rules. He basically told me if I want one shitty board, go Costcos already. Then he dialed me into a VS Beast and I love it. I appreciate salespeople who are straight up, no BS. Go nowhere else for bodyboard needs. Planny Alohas and Mahalos 662! read more

All your bodyboard needs in one place. Not just a store, come in and chat it up with the pros that run the shop. 662 is the best privately run surf shop on the island. read more

Staff is cool, Great Place to buy skater and surf gear

Great selection, helpful staff, always has the latest year, prices comparable to other surf shops and what you can get online

Great shop And great ppl lots of knowledge on there products always go there for my bodyboarding needs.

Don't have much, very limited inventory and the customer service is terrible. The older Filipino dude behind the counter on his computer made me not want purchase anything. I was going to buy a pair of wheels, but he was a total dick; he couldn't be bothered to help a customer. I usually support small business owners, but they have to make sure to have stellar customer service to compete with bigger stores. Go to Aloha board shop it's way better; I only went here because I was in the area, and definitely regret it read more

Our go to store for any bodyboard accessories ! Haven't caught the guy's name that's always working but he's very knowledgeable about what he carries and what he feels is a good fit for you definetly great customer service !! And he Always hooks it up..... Catch you all in the water on the next swell read more

The only thing wrong with this place is that the website said they open at nine but they actually open at ten. The guy who was working there (pretty sure he was the owner but not a hundred percent) was awesome, helped me and my wife pick out good boards and then hooked up some free shwag. Place was clean, easy to find and had an excellent selection with decent pricing. 5 out of 5 for sure. read more

Ok... I've read some of the other reviews about this shop and I do agree that knowledge of product is great and my first impressions of service previously have been OK. "Kenzon", this particular day was helping an Aussie couple with some BB gear while I looked at some fins. He helped me with some Viper fins while tending to this couple. During ring up he states that the price of the fins were $69. Here I am thinking... but the box (and the rest of the viper boxes) clearly were marked $59. He goes on to say "ya the price went up". I responded that your Internet price is $60. He proceeds to check their website and in a defeated tone responds "I guess I'll have to give you that price..." Maybe I'm misreading his body language but I sure felt as If he was insinuating he was doing me a favor. So as he's ringing me up I told him I was to give him 60 cash and I'll put the tax on my credit card. So he takes my cash and card then asks mr for ID... forgetting my ID in my car I tell Kenzon my cars right out front Ill' go get it. I hand him my card and he carefully inspects my card which seemed like forever as if he really wanted to find an inconsistency. So then he swipes my card and proceeds to charge the whole amount on my card... WTF?! He tells me about the mistake, runs the credit back and redoes the whole transaction. Mind you now I'm technically out $125 because credits back to your card do not immediately process (it takes up to 5 business days). At this point I'm a bit irritated and so I ask him just like this... "bro, I feel kinda uncomfortable.... first you try to jack me on the price, then you treat me like a criminal..." his response "it's just procedure". Well your procedure leaves me stuck $60 for a few days (not that I'm hurting) and you leave me with the notion that had my skin color been lighter or me eyes a little more slanted I may have been treated differently. This guy Kenzon obviously did an awesome job with procedure in his boss/owners eyes.... but I bet anything if it was one of his boys this shit wouldn't happen.... sad, didn't know some BBers could be like this... surprising because I really did take the whole situation to heart and previously felt there is shops out there with Aloha.... this particular day I was disappointedly wrong... will I go back there/recommend to friends here and abroad? Not so sure... read more
