On May 20th of 2020, Kainalu Surf Shop located in Nanakuli Commercial Center had its Grand Opening. Three friends who were born and raised in Nanakuli Homestead who grew up surfing, diving, and boogie boarding shared a dream of providing their community with a one-stop surf shop. They grew up with little to no places to buy surf shorts, diving gear, etc on their side of the island and they felt the need to change that by creating a service-first, affordable Surf Shop.
