What Surfers are saying about
Luis took out to one of Panama’s renowned
breaks, Santa Catalina, and was impressed by its maneu-
verability and control.
“I was able to place it all over the face of the wave, even got
a little barrel ...with a lot of ease. The construction is
great...this one took my 240 pounds of body weight right in
the middle of the deck in a couple of wipeouts without a
single pressure ding.”
Chad bought his custom squash tail back in April.
For the past 3 years, he hasn’t been able to surf as much as
he used to, with two little ones running around the house.
“Although I was out of paddling shape...I really liked how the
board paddled and took off. I am super happy with it!”
Kelly is an old surfing sea dog who hasn’t been himself on
the waves lately.
“A few warm-ups and it was like I was back to my old surfing
self when I was 17 and on. The board is a great blend of old
and new. A great feel.”
Jose dragged along on a surf
trip to Costa Rica, where he conquered a few
head high waves in Playa Hermosa.
“...I was so confident on it. After being out of the
water for 2 and a half years, that board made
me catch up with my surfing. Best board I ever
owned.”
55 year old Mark said, “ This board is great!
Makes me feel 30 years younger. Paddles fine
and catches waves very easily.”

Proctor Surfboards’ has been sweeping the surf world with style. The board is designed for surfers who tend to ride their rails
(instead of surfing off their fins) and for those of us who aren’t
wafer-thin and all skin and bones. The fuller rails of the board’s
design allow you to drive through turns with ease.
The board’s high volume, especially in the chest area, makes paddling
out super easy since the board doesn’t sit low in the water. Surfers
get extra paddling power with the high performance maneuverability of
a shortboard.
It’s a breeze to catch waves and thanks to its versatile rocker, this
beauty gives you speed and power in small waves without losing maneu-
verability. The board also responds quickly to snap changes in direc-
tion, allowing you to pull off incredible tricks and turns on the
fly.
The shape of the tail, the board’s extra width, rail geometry and
double concave bottom all work in harmony to give you a ride like no
other. That’s a pretty impressive feat for a big board.

Hawaiian South Shore is one of the few places to have
the first set of Jordy Smith Future Fins in stock. We
have only 6 sets available, so call now to place your
order!
In collaboration with Future Fins, Jordy has used his
knowledge of board shapes and designs to create a Fu-
ture Fins series like no other.
These fins are designed to give the feel of a glass-on
without the rigidity and weight. They have a medium
flex pattern, making the fins stiffer than a Blackstix
but more flexible than Fiberglass or Techflex.
They’re flat-foiled, giving surfers better speed con-
trol on fast, powerful waves. The fins also have a
large area which is perfectly adapted for bigger frames
(180+ lbs) like Jordy’s.
Happy Gorillas!

Kyle, have you seen my phone?
I have to give a big `Thanks' to Sergeant Yue and the officers of the Honolulu Police Department for helping
me to recover my stolen iPhone. The drama all went down the other day. After surfing, I called my wife on the
way to the shower. When I got off the phone, I placed it under my towel on the bench next to the shower. After
showering, I walked back to the car and realized that I'd forgotten my phone, but it was gone by the time I
returned to the bench to look for it. I asked a friend of mine to call my number to see if I'd left it in the car. No
luck!
I figured someone had snatched it, so I dashed over to HSS and turned on the pc to track the phone's GPS. My
phone was moving up Ward Ave, so I ran outside to see if anyone along the avenue was walking around with
it. No luck there either! Chances are, the person was heading away from the store, so I ran home and re-
trieved my iPad to use it to track the phone. After locating it again, I noticed that the phone was moving fast
towards downtown. That's when my wife suggested that we should call the police because you never know...
maybe some crazy person took the phone.
When the police arrived, I gave them my iPad so that they could use it to track my phone. They called up a
few more officers and, after coordinating their team, pinpointed the phone's position. It was on a bus. I'm sure
the bus driver was pretty surprised when the cops pulled him over. My wife dialed my number again and the
officers caught the dude on the bus trying to put the phone on `Quiet' mode. I would've loved to have seen
the look on his face when he was caught red-handed.
Man, the things these smart phones can do! I'm super stoked that the police helped me out. It was a first for
them, chasing down a stolen phone using an iPad. I've learned my lesson: don't take my phone to the
shower! I'm happy I took Kyle's (our manager) advice and turned on the phone's locator feature a few months
ago.

There's no hiding it, you're a self-
proclaimed Surf Junkie! The call of the
perfect wave is a beautiful symphony to
your ears, but
any old surfing
sea dog will
tell you that
years of answer-
ing the ocean's
siren songs can
lead to the con-
dition known as
Surfer's Ear
(SE).
SE is caused by long exposure to extreme
changes in temperature. Being constantly
slapped around by the cold wind and water
on the waves causes your ear canal to be-
come irritated. Your body kicks in, try-
ing to alleviate the inflammation, but
this desperate attempt only makes matters
worse. Your ear canal eventually becomes
blocked, trapping drops of cold water and
earwax in a tiny space and leading to in-
tense ear infections or even hearing
loss. Surfer's Ear is rather painful and
not a pretty sight.
Completely shielding your ears from the
elements is the best way to fend off SE
while still indulging in your favorite
past-time, but no self-respecting surfer
likes to sport a pair of Great-grandpa's
earplugs. Besides being über uncool, such
an earplug is downright dangerous, as it
prevents you from hearing anything while
in the water.
If you're wondering how to solve this
'Hearing Conundrum', the engineers at
Sport Contrôle, in collaboration with a
few medical doctors, have developed a
product called Sorky.
At its core, Sorky is an earplug; yet it
seems as if it's so much more. It's for any-
one over the age of 12 and is durable, super
lightweight, flexible and extremely comfort-
able.
Once inserted into the
ear canal, Sorky is
designed to stay put,
come Hell or High Wa-
ter. Yet it's not a
hassle to remove when
play-time is over. Ac-
cording to the manu-
facturer's website,
the silicon used to
make the earplugs mim-
ics the flexibility
and movement of human skin, making the plug
fit snuggly in your ear.
They also feature a
specially designed
membrane that allows
sound to flow freely
while keeping the sea
out of your ears. This
ensures that your
hearing and sense of
balance, two of the
most important senses
for every surfer, re-
main unaffected.
It may sound like we are drowning this lit-
tle gizmo with accolades, but that's because
Sorky has truly impressed us. Our only con
is that the product generally runs a little
pricier than similar ones on the market, but
for a high quality, top notch product, the
added cost is well worth it.

HSS is your source for DXLX ®Complete Surfboard Lock Sys-
tem.
The DXLX® system is like a bicycle lock for your surfboard. It
was invented by a former Navy Seal, C. Dock Hooks, who
got tired of people snatching his board while he was at the
beach. Its durable, stainless steel design locks into your
leash plug or finbox and you can loop the cable through sev-
eral plugs to lock multiple boards without any extra keys.
The DXLX® system comes with:
- A 10ft coated, Stainless Steel Cable (w/ resettable Combina-
tion lock)
- A DXLX® Jaw
- A Cleat for use in your finbox if your board doesn’t have a leash
plug

KanuLock is an all-in-one rack strap
and lock. It works like regular tie-
downs, but it’s reinforced with
braided stainless steel cables, mak-
ing it almost impossible to cut. The
straps are wrapped with nylon, so
your car won’t get dings or scratches
and since you position the widest
part of your board between the front
and back straps, your board won’t
slide out either.
