I went to Kahala Mall for the grand opening of Up&Riding. If you don't know what Up&Riding is, it is a surf shop for kids.
You want those sick Quiksilver trunks Noa Mizuno's wearing for your 3yr old nephew? Up&Riding got them!
They pretty much got everything you want for your kids... shirts, shorts, dresses, trunks, bikinis, everything!
They had a nice Hawaiian blessing along with live Hawaiian music to kick off the grand opening.
Some of Hawaii's top young surfers were there to sign their autographs too.
Imai DeVault and Ezekiel Lau from Volcom.
Noa Mizuno from Quiksilver.
Kelia "Sister" Moniz from Roxy.
Seth and Josh Moniz from Billabong. (Josh was too shy for photo... ha ha.)
It was really cool too see kids getting posters signed by these surfers.
BUT... these surfers are just normal kids. Give them posters and pens, this happens.
Seth and Noa modifying Sister's poster.
Sister gave Noa a cool "tattoo". ha ha.
Some great give a ways, 20% off everything in the store, free food, free drinks, great people, etc. It was a great event!
So go check out Up&Riding! They now have stores at Kahala Mall and Pearlridge mall. If you don't live here, they have a great online site at
http://www.upandriding.com/!
Great job to all the groms who were there to meet their fans and signed autographs!
Thank you Up&Riding for providing cool stuff for all the kids out there!
