Aloha All, March is over and April is here. I thought things are supposed to be warming up? Seems like it’s just as cold now as in Dec. and not just the air but the water seems like it’s a bit cooler. Oh well I guess that’s what wetsuits are for. In this months issue we take a look at SUP, stand up paddle boards. “How to choose the right board”. and will recap our fashion show, surf movie night we hosted last month. Keith Kajjioka Manager`

Which stand up paddle board

is right for me????

By Keith Kajioka

This question is perhaps the

most asked question we hear at

the store. Our response to this

question is based on what we know

and figured out on our own and

from feedback from others over

the past year or so.

It all depends….depends on what

you plan on doing with the board or

what you imagine yourself doing

with the board. Don’t believe the

hype. Don’t go smaller than what

you feel comfortable with.

Remember the boards look big on

land or in the shop, but once you put them

in the water and stand on them it’s a

whole different story. Ask yourself what

are you really going to use the board for?

I would say 80% of the people I talk to,

firstly want a board to be stable enough

to just paddle for exercise when the

waves are flat and then secondly catch

waves and surf. The comment I hear

pretty often is “if get waves I rather

surf surf”.

If you plan on using the board for

conditioning and exercise then I would

suggest at least 10’6 to 11’6 depending on

your weight and height. A longer board

will paddle straighter and glide better on

the water, not to mention it will be more

stable and less effort trying to balance in

rough water. If you plan on mostly going

out in the lineup and surfing then a

shorter board will be better. Its pretty

simple, a shorter board will turn and

respond quicker, a longer board will be

more stable and plane better on the

surface but not turn as good for surfing.

Shorter sizes for surfing range from 9’0

to 10’6 again depending on your weight

and height.

If you have questions or would like to find

out more about stand up paddle boards,

give us a call or stop by the store.

We are excited to be partnering with C4

Waterman to offer the best selection of

C4 boards, paddles, and accessories all in

one shop. We also carry Surftech, South

Point, and Infinity SUP’s.

Special Events

On March 29th Hawaiian South Shore hosted a fashion show and

movie night. It was all done to

promote Hawaii’s underground

designers and artists. It gave them a free venue to showcase

their talents via a fashion show.

Immediately after the show

Globe’s new surf film was projected onto the building in

the parking lot.

Mahalo to all that came by to

check it out and to all the

designers that participated, and

extra big mahalos to Jim of Rainbow Drive Inn.

Congratulations Mike Deese for guessing the correct

winner of the Bells Beach contest. Mike was chosen from a

random drawing of all correct entries and won a $50 gift

card on us.
