About Local Motion

Local Motion in Waipahu offers a selection of surf gear and apparel right in the Waikele Center. While some patrons note inventory limitations and pricing concerns, many customers praise the friendly, helpful staff and positive local atmosphere. This shop is best for those seeking genuine local assistance, though serious gear hunters might need to check stock availability first.

The Good

Customers appreciate that it is a locally-based shop with good parking availability. Several reviewers noted that the shop had a good selection of items and that they found good deals. Staff were described as friendly and attentive, showing interest in helping customers with their purchases, even when language barriers existed.

Things to Consider

Significant complaints centered on high prices (even with discounts) and limited inventory/lack of variety, causing some customers to leave empty-handed. Customer service was criticized by one reviewer for lacking interpersonal skills despite the presence of many staff members. One reviewer also noted that the shop carries brands other than the main Local Motion brand, which could be confusing.
