Quiksilver Boardrider's Club, Honolulu

This large beachwear store looks out onto one of the busiest streets in Waikiki. It gets a lot of traffic, but there's enough floor space to allow for unhurried browsing. The staff is young, local, enthusiastic and genuine. As one might guess from the name, all the most popular surf fashions and beach equipment are sold here. Just to get everyone's adrenaline pumping before they hit the beach, thrash punk booms loudly from the speakers. Since everyone who visits Hawaii gets bit by the surfing bug, this store attracts customers of all ages.
