New Surf Gear at Hawaiian South Shore - January 2, 2026 Weekly Update

This week features the stunning FCS II Essential Series White Edition fins, HSS exclusive sweaters and wetsuits (JPN Model made in Japan), Creatures of Leisure accessories, and essential board repair solutions. Sixteen new items now available at our Honolulu surf shop.

Happy New Year and welcome to 2026! We're kicking off the year with a fresh lineup of gear designed to elevate your surfing experience. Whether you're looking to dial in your board's performance with new fins, stay comfortable during those dawn patrol sessions, or keep your quiver in top shape, this week's arrivals have something for every surfer.

The standout collection this week is the FCS II Essential Series White Edition - a stunning all-white aesthetic that brings timeless style to proven performance templates. We've also restocked our popular HSS JPN Model wetsuits made from premium limestone-based neoprene in Japan, along with essential accessories from Creatures of Leisure and practical repair solutions from FCS.

FCS II Essential Series White Edition Fins

The FCS II Essential Series White Edition brings timeless style to proven performance. Built from FCS's four Essential Series fin templates, each suited to different surfing conditions and offering a distinctive feel, this collection combines popular Performance Core construction with a clean, all-white aesthetic linking back to the days of white fixed fins. No color clashes, no second-guessing - just a simple look that pairs with any board and delivers the feel you know and trust.

FCS II Reactor Performance Core - Beach Break Specialist

Designed for speed and tight turns with added tail release, the Reactor is an upright template that allows for tighter, more acute directional changes in beach break conditions. The Reactor features a smaller centre fin for increased pivot and tail release, making it ideal for surfers who like to perform fast and progressive turns.

FCS II Performer Performance Core - The All-Rounder

Designed for a balance of speed, flow, and response, the Performer template is ideal for surfers who want a reliable "all round" fin delivering a combination of speed and maneuverability with flow between turns. The well-proportioned template features Inside Foil Technology (IFT) for enhanced water flow and predictable performance in varied conditions.

FCS II Accelerator Performance Core - Reef Break Control

Designed for a balance of speed, flow, and response with added control in critical reef-break conditions, the Accelerator features an oversized, all-around template with a fuller tip. This design is ideal for surfers who like to attack the wave and perform aggressive turns when the conditions demand it.

FCS II Carver Performance Core - Point Break Power

Designed for powerful, drawn-out turns with added hold, the Carver's elongated template has a high degree of sweep. It provides exceptional hold off the bottom, especially when surfing point-breaks. This template is ideal for power surfers who like to push hard against their fins and draw out their turns on open faces.

FCS II Sharpeye PC Carbon - Pro-Level Performance

The SE template was developed by Marcio Zouvi and sits in the Accelerator Family. It was refined with the help of the elite SE team including Kanoa Igarashi. The outline is very similar to the Performer and Accelerator templates with a touch more sweep and a little less area in the tip. Recently updated with carbon tissue inlays and AirCore construction, the SE fin is stiffer than the original version, allowing it to harness more power and speed when pushed ultra hard through turns.

This all-rounder will release a bit quicker and feel a little looser compared to the Performer/Accelerator, but the flat inside face means it will respond very quickly when initiating a turn. Perfect for light to medium weight surfers who surf fast and like to stay lively on their feet.

HSS Wetsuit Longsleeve JPN Model

The Hawaiian South Shore JPN Model is 100% Made in Japan. As many of our longtime clients know, we have stocked premium, high-quality StrawHat wetsuits for years. Made from limestone-based neoprene in Japan, these wetsuits are environmentally friendlier than petroleum-based suits, as well as warmer, longer-lasting, thinner, and much softer.

The Japanese suits also have added elasticity, which allows them to fit tight on the body without limiting motion, making them extremely comfortable and efficient. Hawaiian South Shore has decided to take over the StrawHat line of wetsuits and rebrand it under the HSS logo. The HSS JPN Model of wetsuits will still be made from the same high-quality, limestone-based neoprene in the same factory in Japan.

One exciting feature that a lot of people have been raving about is the front-zip design. While front-zip suits have been popular in Japan for years, they are only now beginning to catch on here in Hawaii and the US. People have finally come to realize that the front zipper does not impede paddling or bother the surfer at all, due to the way it is integrated into the suit. Furthermore, the front zip makes it easier to put the suit on and take it off, saving you frustration and lessening the chance that you will overstretch the suit or damage it with your fingers while trying to get it off.

HSS Wetsuit Vest 2MM JPN Model

The HSS 2MM Vest JPN Model delivers the same premium Japanese construction as our longsleeve wetsuit in a versatile vest format. Made from limestone-based neoprene in Japan, this vest offers core warmth while maintaining full arm mobility - perfect for Hawaii's year-round conditions.

The environmentally friendlier limestone neoprene is warmer, longer-lasting, thinner, and softer than petroleum-based alternatives. The added elasticity ensures a snug fit without restricting your paddling or movement in the water.
