Yep, it's all here! And plenty of room to walk around without feeling claustrophobic as is the case in some of the stores with a smaller footprint. Plus some really nice casual clothing. For women there are maxi dresses, shirts, tshirts, sweatshirts. I particularly liked the new towel ponchos that they carry, as do most other shops these days. Super convenient when walking to and from the beach. Also lots of beach bags, backpacks and totes. Walls full of Havaianas and Teva water shoes. They are well stocked! Even though they have lots of items, they didn't have a mesh bag I needed for my swim gear. The owner directed me to Suf N Sea where I found just what I needed. Great store! Will be back.

This is one of my favorite places to just window shop. They have really fun, coastal and local vibe home decor and lifestyle finds. I've eaten at Kono's although I am not primarily a pork person so I would not personally go back here. Some places to visit would be the Aloha General Store where you'll find Island-inspired gifts, clothing, home décor, shave ice, and souvenirs. Aloha Vintage Vibes is where you will find vintage Hawaiian apparel, retro finds, and unique gifts. Northshore Boardriders Club is where I found a really cute bracelet here that allows you to track your own sea life! You'll also find surf apparel, boards, accessories, and local North Shore merchandise. Polynesian Treasures is neat. You get to browse through Hawaiian-made gifts, wood carvings, jewelry, and island crafts. I Am Paradise is a Pearl Shop. You will find Hawaiian pearl jewelry and handcrafted pieces. I have not yet entered this establishment yet. I think I'm intimidated by the possible price point of real Hawaiian pearls. Silver Moon Emporium is where you can shop for Women's fashion, accessories, and boutique clothing. I wish there were more plus size options. Tini Manini, I haven't been to this one yet but you'll be able to find Children's clothing, toys, and gifts here. Waimea Blue North Shore Art Gallery is where you can shop for original local artwork, photography, and prints. There are also several dining options which include: Banzai Sushi Bar, Cholo's Homestyle Mexican, Kono's, Maya's Tapas & Wine, IL Gelato Cafe (Love this place!), and The Fixx Haleiwa. I have yet to try them all but even more reason to come back to take a trip over to the North Shore.

I was going to purchase a bandanna for my fur baby and some jewelry pieces, but quickly changed my mind due to the HORRIBLE customer service we received from the older, female employee who worked there. My son is 18 and my daughter is 13 and brought in their gelato and açaí bowl. My daughter and I both thought the employee was approaching us to comment on how good her gelato looked, but instead she said we couldn't be in the store "around the clothes" because they had food. Umm lady...the easiest solution is to put a sign up so customers can see it BEFORE they walk into the store like the other stores do!!! But instead you decided to embarrass us! My kids are 18 and 13, not 8 and 3. Shame on you!!! We'll never step foot back in this place again!

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.

We were so impressed by the level of service that we received. We would heartedly recommend renting from them in the future. As an aside note, the shrimp truck close by was really great as well.

It was our first time visiting the island, and he immediately made us feel welcome. When we mentioned we were new to the area, he walked us over to the map and took the time to explain the different spots around the North Shore and where we should go. Christian was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many helpful tips and pointers. You could tell he truly knew what he was talking about, and he explained everything in a way that made us feel confident and excited to explore. He really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience and left the shop feeling prepared. The most impressive part is that we later found out he had just started working there and is only 17 years old. The level of professionalism, knowledge, and genuine kindness he showed at such a young age is remarkable. The owners of North Shore Surf Shop are very lucky to have him on their team, and we wanted to make sure his effort didn't go unnoticed. The shop itself has everything you need for a fun day exploring the island. We rented snorkel gear for $20 each for the day, which was such a great deal. We also added life vests for $10 each, which gave us extra peace of mind while we were out in the water. They also have lockers available for $10, which was super convenient for storing our belongings while we were out snorkeling. The entire rental and return process was very smooth and seamless. We're so glad we stopped in and even happier that we met Christian. He truly made the experience memorable. Mahalo!

I shop there regularly, and even if I don't need anything, I always pop in when I'm in the area because there's usually something new. The girls there are always so friendly -- and it's consistent. Every single time. The store is impeccably clean, easy to shop, and their clothing fits my vibe 100%. I always leave feeling good about what I bought (or at least inspired). Such a great local shop in the Matsumoto's shopping center. If you appreciate well-made pieces, good energy, and supporting North Shore businesses, Mahina is a must. They do have other stores across the island but not only is this one close to me on the North Shore, it's a vibe also sets it apart. Oh! They offer a military discount and one for kama'aina which I really appreciate! (can use one or the other, not both!) While you're there, check out their sister shop, Roger, next to Uncle Bo's. It's just around the corner. Go give them a look, you'll be glad you did. SYOY! Deb B.

Shopping for my daughter, we wanted a little more fashionable look so we decided on Footlocker instead of Famous Footwear where we normally shop. When we entered there was one associate doing shipment at the register (?) , one standing at the front. And another with a customer. We looked at the shoes for a bit, and when I turned to check if any associate was going to check in if we needed sizes all were behind the register? Waited a little, and finally was set on a few to try on. I turned around to check again. Still not with customers but not eager to help in anyway. We walked out and decided to stick with Famous Footwear. It's a shame , I found shoes for my daughter and myself. But lack of interest from the employees made us shop elsewhere.
