Tropical Rush has a huge inventory of surf and swim gear: surfboards, longboards, bodyboards, Sector 9 skateboards, and all the accessories to go with an ocean-minded life, like slippers and swimwear for men and women. T-shirts, hats, sunglasses, and visors are among the scads of cool gear, and you can rent equipment and arrange surf lessons, too. An added feature is the shop's surf report line for the up-to-the-minute lowdown on wave action (tel. 808/638-7874); it covers the day's surf and weather details for all of Oahu.
