Up & Riding

Until I had my son, I never had a reason to walk into Up & Riding. Then Logan came around and I had to find board shorts because what little boy in Hawaii doesn’t have board shorts?! So off I went in search of itty bitty baby board shorts and not only did I find them, I also found the holy grail of baby boy shoes. Nike, Toms and Van’s. All in infant sizes and super adorable and squeal worthy. I know I could of walked into Nordstrom and probably found them there too but this little store had such an amazing collection and a really good sale area! I tried my hardest to not buy a pair of Tom’s in every color. Don’t even get me started on the Nike dunks. Unfortunately, Logan is so skinny and has such big feet that the shoes made him look like he had clown feet so I’ll probably wait til his body catches up with him before I invest in a $ 45.00 pair of shoes lol. I’m glad I walked in here and I can’t wait until Logan fits the rest of their clothing.

I came here to buy a gift for my friend’s son because the clothes are just so darn cute and trendy. When I was ready to pay, the total came out to over $ 60 for a tank + a pair of shorts! Now, I don’t have kids so I don’t know what the average price for clothes would be but don’t kids’ clothes take half the fabric that adult clothes do so by logical thinking, the price should be less? Granted, the store probably doesn’t have very much control of the clothing prices but they do have control over how much they charge for boxes. Yes, you read that right. They charge for boxes…$ 10 if you’re not part of their frequent shoppers club. Best to save your money and head to Long’s or Pricebusters to pick up a box or gift bag there.

So glad there’s a store to buy little boys clothes that’s cool!
They have the best clothes for boys from about 3−10years old. Thank you!!!

Awesome place! I ordered some shirts for my 6 year old son, and 5 and 2 year old little girls at really reasonable prices. The merchandise arrived so fast. You guys rock!

Surf brand clothes and such for the little ones in my life. (6 year old sister, 10 month old nephew). Very cool staff too!

My son is now 9 and he loves this store. They have a good assortment of the surf gear he loves in his size. I love the cute things they have for boys and girls ranging from small children to adolescents. My son says give it 5 stars so there ya go!

Found a place to buy 4−5yr old caps/​slippers/​backpacks at Kahala Mall!
Just stumbled across this store at Kahala Mall on Friday in the space where the koa furniture store used to be (next to the Apple store). The guy said they’ve been open for 5 months but I guess I never really stopped to look past the Apple store before.
I had 2 kids birthday parties that I needed to get gifts for and I ended up buying a few things from here.
At Kahala Mall, there are only a few stores that sell kids stuff.
I was looking for a child sized baseball cap. I looked at whatever that sports store is called next to Long’s (Champions?) but they don’t carry kids caps. I looked at Gymboree, but all they had were these fleece lined hats more appropriate for the snow. Kahala Kids only carried infant and toddler sun hats (I was looking for a 4−5yr old size). I was about to give up until I saw this store.
This is a surf shop for kids. It’s like a T&C or HIC but only for kids! They carry all the major brands — Roxy, Volcom, DC, Fox, etc. I’m not a surfer so I wasn’t familiar with most of the brands, but they probably had over 40 boys baseball caps to choose from. They had slippers in all the small kid sizes, and I even bought a cool pair of sunglasses (100% UV protection!) that looks like an adult pair, only much smaller.
I was looking specifically for boys, but they also had really cute girls stuff too — backpacks, dresses, slippers, bathing suits — you could probably find something at this store if you’re looking for a birthday gift. They have sizes from the very tiny infant (6mo) to big kids (12yrs old?)
Prices are reasonable. They take credit cards. They make gift receipts. Return/​Exchange policy is standard.
I’ve seen this spot turnover quite a bit over the past few years. I hope this store is here to stay!
