Born From the Ocean, Built for the Island

Water Wear Hawaii isn't a chain store that happens to sit on Kauaʻi — it's a shop run by people who actually live here, surf here, and know which conditions hit where and when.

Located right on Poipu Road in Koloa, we've been serving locals, resort guests, and visiting adventurers for over a decade. Whether you're grabbing a board for your first time or upgrading your dive setup, we'll point you in the right direction — no upsell, no guesswork.

Locally Owned Real island knowledge, real recommendations
Open Seven Days Early starts and late returns — we're here
All Skill Levels First-timers to seasoned ocean racers

We showed up with zero experience and walked out with a board, a lesson, and a memory we're still talking about. The crew at Water Wear made everything feel effortless.

— A happy guest from Poipu

Right Off Poipu Road

We're easy to spot and easy to find — just a short drive from the Poipu Beach Resort area in Koloa.
