Koa Board Sports

"Even 1 star is too much. This shop was so nice years ago and we used to rent boards with them. This time the lady put a sticker on the door that we can only visit the shop "on appointment" and left the phone number. We called and told her that we are urgently searching for a surf board fin as mine broke. She said nobody is there now only in 4 hours, they are not around. 5 minutes later the lady came out the door right next door as she had an apointment, she even lied to me! We asked if we can come in as well and she said "no" and closed the door in front of our nose! Never something like this happened to us before, this is so unfriendly and cheeky. No "aloha-spirit" at all. So there must have been a change of owners as it was a lovely shop and board rental before. Will never ever come back and do recommend everyone to rent with "moku", this shop is just a few meters from that one and has very friendly and helpful staff."

"They have a good selection of wetsuits but they are quite rude. They have some old surfboards in the changing room, that, according to them cost $5,000. They complained that we touched them (while looking for hangers that they were asking for). Don't see what's the point of having that supposedly expensive items in a changing room. Anyway, if you need a wetsuit it's the only place around."

"Professional surf shop, I bought the right accessories for my short board and beautiful Hawaii fins for my longboard here. I rented a longboard for 8 days, and I can change the board to suit the waves with different conditions. Super friendly staff with perfect Aloha smile and service, 24HR board storage, so you won't miss the good waves in the early morning or the beautiful sunset on the ocean. Will be back again for sure!"

"These guys are pretty awesome for board rental. They let me take out different boards and change them up to suit the conditions. Just so happened Waikiki was firing with a good swell. Highly recommend them for friendly service."

"These guys are pretty cool. Very friendly, very knowledgeable, flexible and accomodating. Above all - THE PRICES ARE GREAT! If you are looking to surf over an extended period of time during your stay in Waikiki this is the spot to rent from. They even offer free overnight storage for the big boards. Great selection of all sorts of sizes. It's easy, you will be out on the water in no time :)"
