Raging Isle

Nice mix of clothing and island vacation survival gear. Customer service is on point without being overbearing. Sale priced items are towards the back next to footwear.

Store was well kept but my issue is my young daughter who bought a surfing poster for the ridiculous price of $ 15. Had second thoughts no more than 10 minutes after walking out of the store, turned around and went back to return it. Stunned when she was told no refunds on posters. Argued that the poster walked out the door 10 min ago. To no avail. Poor kid had saved up her money, had second thoughts on how she chose to spend it and this is what she got. Terrible customer service. She’s just a kid. We live in Hawaii and I will never give my business to this store again. Furthermore I will let all my friends know to steer clear as well. Shoddy business service can bite you in the you know what now that we are in the world of social media. Shame on you!

This is my go-​to surf shop on the N. Shore. For one, they’re larger and have a better layout that say Surf ‘n Sea or Quiksilver, both of which feel cramped. Especially good selection of unique surf-​related t-​shirts and slippahs for days. Pretty sure I’ve bought every pair of my Electric sunglasses here. You can usually find some vintage clothes and jewelry here too — they’re not cheap, but one of a kind. One side is all skateboard gear and I think they have a repair counter as well. It’s across the parking lot from Patagonia back by Banzai.

Initially liked this place until I recently purchased a watch here. Spent about $ 140 on a watch that was broken/​defective since the day I bought it. Came in the next day to speak to the staff about it, and they basically told me to get lost. Now I get to spend even more money to have it shipped out and repaired. Definitely not purchasing anything from here again.

Friendly and helpful staff. Welcome you when you enter and bid you farewell when you leave! That’s a rarity nowadays! Great selection of Olu Kai slippers, of which I have quite a collection! Always stop in to see if they have a style that I don’t have yet, or in a different color! And have found cute tops for my daughter-​in-​law and overnighter luggage and unique RVCA t-​shirts for me! Sweet!

As good as it gets! stopped by got 2 pr. Toms shoes, I live on Big Isle and there isnt the selection that Raging Isle offers!
I must say that the service was outstanding! Everyone went overboard to assist us!
Thanks Ill be back… Kanani K.
P. S. and right next to Cholos!

It’s hard to really rate a surf store, especially when they are as rampant as they are down here. I’m reviewing this one, as I actually did buy something. The staff was super helpful. would look for other sizes for me, and ensured everything was going well.
The store is huge and has a lot of selection, although that being said, I found pretty much the same thing is every other surf shop. I didn’t have as much luck as I had hoped, but I did find a cute sweater I was bought. If you wear skate/​surf brands and are a guy, girl or kid, you will find something you like!

Walked in on a visit to Haleiwa. Quickly greeted by an extremely helpful dude name «Frank,» or at least thats what I think his name was. Frank was great. Couldn’t find a shirt in my size and Frank volunteered to go check in the back to see if one was back there. Great Aloha experience. I’ll definitely be stopping back there next time I’m in town. Picked up my new favorite shirt made by Aloha Project.

UNFRIENDLY STAFF MEMBER– TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I never cared much for this shop due to their limited and overpriced inventory. After being verbally assaulted by an extremely RUDE staff member (female, brown hair, big blue eyes) my family and I will never shop here again. EVER. I have never been so disgusted with the lack of customer service.

Wrong store for me. I did not find things I want.

Extremely helpful staff at this store. A variety of choices for all ages. Inventory is laid out so it’s easy to find what you want. Competitive pricing. The best store in the North Shore Marketplace, for me! I always find what I am looking for at this store. Kudos to the Barnfields!

Unfriendly staff. Save yourself the aggravation of being told «are you serious about buying this? I don’t want to go through the hassle of looking for your size.» Just go elsewhere.

Very cute selection for guys, ladies, girls, boys, surfers, etc. They carry Billabong, Volcom, Element, RVCA, and a wide selection of bikinis too. I also noticed they have really cute assesories for females. A long with a wide selection of surf gear and guy stuff. So thats pretty much a win win considering a lot of little surf shops in an area like that wouldn’t have such a heafty selection.
They are locted in the same shopping center where Cholo’s Homestyle Mexicano Rest, Banzai Sushi Bar, Breakers Bar&Grille, etc is. They have a good amount of parking here as well.
I’m not sure on the hours of opperation but I’m sure it’s between 10A.M. — 8 P.M.? I’m not that sure but I know that «Country» businesses tend to close down a lot more early than businesses in «Town» or in the Honolulu district…
The workers are cool too, aloha style. They greet you when you walk in which is great and are not too over bearing when it comes to their selling approach/​technique. They also have a pretty good sales selection here and they have good promotions. :)

One of my favorite shops! Billabong, Volcom, Element… the usual Surf/​Skate gear. But the selection is FABULOUS. I also love their «Buy one, get one half off sales». Very friendly staff too!

I like this surf shop. It’s about a 40 minute drive to get there but it doesn’t matter… the view is always gorgeous. The drive is pretty relaxing anyways… or should i say the ride there. I have my driver drive me ;) This place has I think way more choices than the surf shops in town. The workers there acknowledge that you are there and aren’t pushy after asking you ONCE if you need help.
It’s located in Halewa Town Center and of course you can make a stop to Coffee Gallery which is my newest fave. I’ll review on them after :)

Cool surf, bike, skate, apparel store. Friendly staff, wide selection. They no longer fix bike flats.

favorite surf shop. they have quarterly sales that are «buy one get one half off» on the entire store. other than those times, they have the usual brand sales (buy a certain amount and get a free shirt, gift, etc). they also have a rack that’s «buy any two items for $ 40 total», and if you know surf brands that’s a deal and a half!
they always have things no other surf shops carry, and they’re not tourist overpriced. they are continuously bringing in new swag and turning old stuff over to the sale rack, so i try to make it out here every couple of months.

I was happy to see that this place is still here. I used to like to shop here in high school a lot. They always have a lot of cute stuff. I didn’t think the prices were any higher than anywhere else. They have a big selection and decent sale stuff. Tons of slippers and bags and all kinds of things. Not much in larger sizes though. I found a pair of surf shorts that were not fluorescent colored, which is actually hard to find! So I was stoked. Friendly salespeople too.

Your typical surf shop, with all the brands I’ve come to expect. I wasn’t in the market for clothing the day I came in, but I found a fun pair of sunglasses for $ 25 and FINALLY found Rainbow flip flops (or slippers as they’re called in Hawaii) in the size/​style I want. Sales people were also very friendly and helpful.

This store is full of all the name brands you would recognize in surfing (except for NO Pipeline Posse!). They are also at the high prices you would expect. No significant deals here and the sales rack is pretty sucky. If you want to look like every other North Shore girl/​guy then shopping here is a great idea. As for me, I like the offbeat and more unique stuff. Plus $ 50 for a dress that was mass produced and isn’t made of quality fabric isn’t my deal. I’ll spend $ 50 on a better dress that’s one of a kind and made well at a smaller boutique. The staff is nice and they have a lot of things but I’d leave it to the tourists. Definitely NOT kamaaina pricing.
