Glad you posted that nsjoel808. Been having a hard time getting Firewires here on Kauai.We have two shops that bring them in, but you have to put in a request with the shop when they put in the order and that apparently doesn't guarantee your board makes it. I hope they have a warehouse on Oahu, but I haven't heard that they do. I know they have a sales rep that services Hawaii. Hopefully we can get boards that way!! On Oahu, the best selection I seen was at Tropical Blends in Kakaako off Ward, but prices are on the high end, no dealing there!!Originally Posted by nsjoel808
The best place and price to shop for Firewire boards on Oahu is Rip Curl Ala Moana. Second would be Local Motion Stabl on Kapiolani next to 24 Hour Fitness. All the other surf shops charge waaaaay toooooo much!!! If Rip Curl does not have the board you want, they will call the rep and will check stock or other surf stores that may have it. If nothing on island, then an order will be placed.

thanks for the tip
Tropical Blends seems to have the largest inventory of boards on Oahu.
Hey Folks,
The number of boards in a shop, really is up to the dealer. If they want a large inventory, the truth is, they are welcome to order it. If everyone stocked 100 boards we would be stoked, but inventory has to obviously reflect other aspects of the shop's business model. Not every store can have every board. Its an unfortunate truth...
Cheers

Hey All, use my Firewire email, [email protected] for emergency issues, not my forum inbox. However, please avoid contacting me directly with questions on choosing a board, just use the glorious forum. Cheers!
Was in town today looking for tropical blends and I couldn't find it., siri and a bunch of others all pointed in different directions. I drove in circles, got pissed and left. Is it by the ufc gym?
that happened to me too. It is right across from UFC. It's actually a better location--there's parking stalls now! Firewire stock was limited this time. Maybe Local Motion Stabl will have more or same amt of boards.
