Quality/Quantity - I own too many of these types of shirts... Yet, I continue to buy them... So sorry, but forgot the friendly sales person's name who owns 34 of these shirts. We hung out (while my wife shopped at all the other stores) and discussed all the shirts we had, lol. It's not a competition, but he wins. He also shared the amazing history of the owner and their businesses. Like the sports theme shirts, but again, I already have too many. And I actually do not wear my sports theme shirts often enough. Have not been going to games or sports bars. Atmosphere - Decent size and location. They also own the business next door. Open 7 days a week from 10am or 10:30am to 6pm. Plenty of metered paid street parking. Service - 6 stars, a really friendly sales person. Very personable. Please take care of the people that take care of you. Price - Reasonably priced. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1975. read more

IMHO I first walked into the shoe store adjacent to Big Kahuna and checked out their latest Vionic styles. Vionics are the only shoes/sandals that I can wear due to my plantar fasciitis issues. Unfortunately, they didn't have my size, but the friendly and helpful clerk clued me into their sister store, Big Kahuna, which had some sale Vionics available! I quickly walked next door! They had a wall full of sandals, including my favorite Vionics to choose from. I quickly picked out any sale sandals in my size, tried them on, and purchased two pair! New Vionics usually run about $89, but I paid $45 and $65 for my two pair! Rest assured, I will make it a point to visit Big Kahuna every time I'm in Capitola! read more

Yeah, shirts can be pricy (think Tommy Bahama little cheaper though)but appears to be great quality and the men's short sleeved shirts with various embroidered designs are super cool and unique! They didn't have the correct size for my husband so we'll check back in a few months. They also carry quite a bit of nice beachy T-shirt's that are reasonably priced too. My husband ended up buying a hat for now. Very friendly and helpful guy that assisted us yesterday late afternoon. read more

After posting my initial review, I received an e-mail from the store which lead to a return of the shoes and a full refund. While this was against their store policy, "All sales final," they were gracious enough to understand my plight. For this, I thank the owner. read more

The employees are very personable and patient! One of the top stores near the Mercantile! Thanks

Okay, I admit it. I have an Aloha/Hawaiian shirt addiction. If you're like me, you'll want to check out this place. Prices are no bargain here, but if you're looking for something out of the ordinary, they'll have it. A lot of nice quality shirts jammed into a little store, but the owner is super friendly and will help find a specific syle or order it if he doesn't have it in stock. read more

I went here looking for sandals and beach or casual shoes. Very good selection and enthusiastic service from Skye. While I was in there, I realized that the big plus on this store is actually their Hawaiian shirt selection. It is absolutely as good as is gets. From classy to just plane funky weird, this is the place to go. They even have Christmas themed Hawaiian shirts..Fun! read more

Great selection of true Hawaiian Shirts. No Tommy Bahama or Asian Brands here, just good quality USA stuff. Torri Richard,Paradise Found, Kahala, Spooner etc. Very Small store for such a big collection but not that big a problem. read more

What a great spot! This place is a hidden treasure... just a little shop on a street full of shops, but the best selection and variety for Aloha Shirts imaginable. People are great... very patient, very helpful too. Prices are very fair... not cheap merchandise, good brands at good prices. Love this place. What can you say about a store in a tourist village that locals go out of their way to shop at? read more

My boyfriend and I have been to the Big Kahuna twice and both times the guys working were great! The second time we had to exchange-return one of the shirts my boyfriend had bought. The guy working gave us an awesome exchange with a hugh discount, mainly because this was the only one in the size we could find and it was an A's Hawaiian shirt. It is the perfect gift for an A's fan. The store was fun to look at everything, so visit the store and look around you wont be disappointed they have something for everyone. We will be going back for sure! read more

I stopped in to the Big Kahuna to check out a dress that I saw in the window. Though I didn't buy anything, if I was shopping for hawaiian shirts or beachwear I'd definitely give them my business, mainly because the owner is a GREAT guy and the selection is phenomenal. read more

This is an adorable little store with great prices for the quality of the merchandise.

If you're into Hawaiian shirts, look no further, this is the place to go! read more

The guys were great! Friendly Staff! Fun Hawaiian Shirt, socks. Am going back to purchase one for my son!!

This is a great store! It is like an obnoxious shirt museum! We stopped by during the Capitola Wine and Art Festival--which is a fun festival but pretty rough on the store owners in Capitola. The guy in the store was friendly as always, not sure how he can do that, but he does. Great selection, fun place to go. read more

This is a truly local pearl! I`m not into Hawaiian shirt! BUT after being in this store (due to an Hawaiian pre-school event) the whole family now have Hawaiian outfits And I found a very nice dress. The selection is great- so many cool retro looks! And most of all GREAT personal service. A small piece of Hawaii in Capitola by the sea. read more

If you need a Hawaiian shirt, this is the place to go. From high end to low, they will have something. Just picked up a beautiful Christmas shirt on Sunday. Great quality, resonable pricing (they will make a deal!) and fun folks running the place. It's packed with shirts for every occasion and just a laid back spot to take your time looking. read more
