Quicksilver

Nice little store with a good variety of merchandise. Helpful ppl. Good for swimwear.

Thanks Chuck!
I got one of Titus Kinimaka’s Hawaiian School of Surfing brochures when we first got to Kauai. The brochure showed a strong Hawaiian man with wild long hair and a determined look on his face. This is who I thought would be teaching me. Nope. It wasn’t Titus. It was Chuck who taught me how to surf. Nothing against Chuck — he was great, but, he wasn’t the guy in the brochure. Surprise! Advertising got me to the school. And, I learned how to surf! I guess I can let go the expectation that Titus himself would be teaching me.
The surf lesson was 1−½ hours long. About 10 – 15 minutes on the beach learning the basics of paddling and popping up on the board. The rest of the time was in the water. Chuck helped me and two other newbies learn how to catch a wave and ride it all the way in. It was amazing! I had a few great runs and a few epic wipeouts. But I did it! We all did it! And they say if they can’t teach you how to surf, they will refund your money.
So head out to Quicksilver and learn how to surf! It was well worth it.

We LOVE this place and go every chance we get to go this amazing island! I have to give myself a limit or I would end up blowing my Mai Thai budget for the trip.

great selection– especially for rash guards– which was our main reason for stopping in. of course, one cool top leads to another cool pair of shorts and/​or a dress and viola– you have yourself a mini shopping spree. one standout aside from the selection was the super friendly/​helpful staff. really sweet girls working there! that always makes spending a little more enjoyable :) mahalo!

Stock up all the seasonal Roxy. Can’t stop going back.

Great clothes, exclusive Hawaiian Quicksilver attire and great staff. The staff makes you feel at home right when you walk in. They are fun, hilarious and helpful.

This is a great little shop that houses both Quicksilver and Roxy brand clothing for men, women, and keiki alike, though the selection is somewhat limited and prices aren’t cheap. For me this was an iconic visit, as someone who grew up on the beach with these brands and the surfing lifestyle, I wanted to see what that means on the north shore of Kauai.
They have specially branded clothing unique to Quicksilver Kauai, and they also house the Hanalei Branch of the Titus Kinimaka Hawaiian School of Surfing.
We bought touristy shirts here for our Jersey Shore family back home, but also spent some time getting to know the staff because we booked both Stand Up Paddleboard lessons on the Hanalei River, and Surfing Lessons on the Hanalei Bay with Quicksilver Pro Surfers. I now wear my Titus Quicksilver shirt with pride and accomplishment. I recommend both SUP and surf lessons for beginners.
You can rent a board for the day, and what’s nice is you can come back all day long and switch the boards out until you find one you love to ride on.
Everyone was very friendly, they answered all of our questions and offered advice and tips about our plans in the area. The staff in the retail store always had huge smiles and were friendly. The surf instructors were very knowledgeable, patient, laid back, but knowledgeable and fun. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and they made us feel at home there.
Whenever we go back to Kauai, this will be one of my first stops.

If you are a Quicksilver fan like I am you’re gonna love this store!
It has a splendid selection of men’s and women’s surf/​casual apparel in addition to boards/​gear. Pretty much everything you need for a day at the beach or for chilling on the island. This past summer in San Diego was so freaking cold that we were wearing fullsuits most/​all of the time. Consequently, my first few days back surfing Hanalei brought on a bad ass case of BOARDRASH, between my legs (ahem), fml. No worries because it was the Big «Q» to the rescue. They put a hella lot of research into their products and I quickly traded in my 3 year old jams for some mighty fine new Cypher Wonderland «Diamond Dobby» and Cypher Ion «4Way Stretch» boardshorts and I was silk again in the water! The staff here is also totally helpful and is a wealth of information regarding local breaks, things to do, and other businesses in the area. Long Live the «Q»!!!
