MAY 2012

 

Homemade "Shout" Stain Remover  Everyone  month  I  like  to  put  something  off  the  wall  or  something  that  is  not  related  to  surfing  in  the  newsletter.    Since  the  weather  is  getting  nice  and  you  will  be  surfing  more  often  (hopefully)  and  attending  barbecues  I  wanted  to  share  an  article  I  saw  online  about  making  your  own  stain  remover.  According  to  the  person  that  wrote  it  said  it  actually  works  better  than  the  real  “Shout”    stain  remover.    Check  it  out  and  let  me  know  if  you  use  the  formula.  I  know  when  I  

was  kid  my  mother  used  to  make  all  kinds  of  homemade  detergents  and  stain  removers  to  save  money.     Better Than The Real Thing!

I  was  actually  inspired  to  DO  this  update  after  my  16  year  old  presented  me  with  this  shirt  to  wash  last  week.    He  said  it  had  been  sitting  in  the  bottom  of  his  dirty  clothes  basket  for  awhile.  (I  don’t  think  I  even  want  to  know  what  HIS  version  of  “awhile”  is!)    All  you  “professional”  clothes  washers  out  there  

will  know  exactly  what  that  is  on  the  front  of  it.    Yep…  chocolate.  A  chocolate  stain  on  a  shirt  that  had  been  in  his  hamper  for  “awhile”.  Seemed  like  the  perfect  opportunity  to  show  how  my  homemade  “Shout”  performs  under  pressure!    First,  let’s  review  the  “recipe”:    

Mix  everything  together  and  pour  into  a  spray  bottle.  I  got  this  one  at  Wal-­‐Mart  for  about  a  buck.    (I  actually  got  SEVERAL  of  them  for  the  array  of  natural/homemade  cleaners  I  have  started  using.    My  inventory  continues  to  expand!)  Before  you  go  to  use  it…  If  it’s  been  sitting  for  awhile…  give  it  a  good  shake.    As  you  can  see  in  this  picture…it  does  tend  to  separate  a  bit.  But  after  a  quick  shake  it’s  good  to  go.    To  use:  spray  on  stains  as  you  normally  would.    I  usually  let  mine  “soak  in”  for  a  few  minutes  at  least.    Then  launder  as  usual.  

In  this  case,  since  the  chocolate  stain  posed  a  bit  more  of  a  challenge…  I  took  a  few  extra  seconds  (literally,  that’s  all  it  took)  and  rubbed  the  fabric  together  where  I  sprayed  and  when  I  was  finished  was  somewhat  shocked  to  see  the  stain  was  practically  already  GONE!  It’s  still  there…  But  barely  visible.    My  old  bottle  of  “real”  Shout  never    did  that!  

TADA!    Here  is  the  “AFTER”  shot.  Once again…clean and pristine. I think even my son was impressed with this one. I really don’t think he believed I could prevail with this

one. HA! That’ll teach him to doubt my laundering powers. So that is my latest adventure in “clotheskeeping” (Martha Stewart knows how to make anything sound more glamorous!) I hope you find it helpful in your “battles” in the laundry room!

Learn How To Make Home-Made “Shout”!

What does the world’s best surfer Kelly Slater, Legendary MMA Wanderlei Silva, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Master Renzo Gracie and Katja Kortstorm of Cirque du Soleil all have in common? All of them do a type of workout called The DeRose Method.

It’s a discipline that claims to bring you improved stress management, concentration and better sleep, as well as helping you overcome cardiovascular problems such as high blood pressure and getting you toned and fit.

Ever heard of The DeRose method? To be honest I’ve never heard of it until recently. I was introduced to the method by one of our customers, Guilherme, and after going online and doing some research I found out that a lot of famous athletes use this training to improve their overall strength, flexibility and energy. Yes, this method of training will give you more energy! Matter of fact, most of people have more energy right after a class. I don’t know about you but I could always use more energy.

This is program of breathing techniques, physical postures, meditation and relaxation developed in the sixties by Brazil-born Luiz DeRose - known as Master DeRose. It is based on ancient techniques, but the method itself arrived for the first time in Hawaii about five years ago.

After reading several articles and talking to Gui, the Hawaii instructor, I am interested in attending some classes. I need to be more limber and have more strength. I noticed if I surf several days in a row my lower right back stiffens up... Yeah, I know I should stretch on my own, but I really don’t know how to do it properly and having some professional advice is the best way. I figured out of all the training methods available, if these world-class athletes decided to do The DeRose Method there must be something to it. Wish me good luck, I will update you with my progress.

I’m sure by now most of you know that Keith, our long time manager, is no longer with us. He’s made the bold move to Taiwan. Usually when I tell people that, their first reaction is TAIWAN?!

Yeah, I know most wouldn’t think if you like to surf you would go to Taiwan but he made the move and I’ve talked to people that have been there and they say the surf is unreal.

I’m hoping I can go around July! Oh, I forgot I didn’t tell you why he went to Taiwan. Well, he is part owner of a Surf Camp and he is loving it! If you are interested in visiting Taiwan for a surf trip just let me know by emailing me at sales@hawaiiansouthshore.com and I’ll let Keith know. You know surfing in Taiwan and China is just starting to boom, but the surf spots are pretty much empty. Did you know there was a a big surf contest just recently? It was presented by Quicksilver then after the contest, a well know shortboarder went to Taiwan and shot a surf video. Anyways, Keith is now in Taiwan and having fun, but that’s not the reason why I’m telling you this.

About two months before he left we were lucky to have Byron come aboard. Byron was someone that came highly recommended. You see, he worked at Big City Diner for a long time and one of the guys I surf with (his brother) is one of the owners of Big City Diner. He said I was super lucky to have him. Now it’s been about 8 months and I have to agree! Welcome aboard Byron!

Take Care Keith and Welcome Byron!

 

Did you know that May 27th is Sunscreen Protection Day? No, I didn’t make it up and yes, there is such a day. For the whole month of May I’m going to hook you UP!!!! Well, let me rephrase that… If you give us some love, THEN I will hook you up.

Let me explain, be the fist 37 people to purchase a Sun Face stick or lotion and use it. Then come back within two weeks and give us your testimonial. After, I will hook you up with a Hawaiian South Shore Gift card for the same amount you spent on Sun Bum... So it’s like getting a Sun Bum FREE!!!

So, this is kind of like a bribe but I know once you try the Sun Bum you will like it. I used the stick and surfed from 1pm to 5:30pm and I tell you what… The thing works!!! So I’m pretty stoked on it and I hope you will be too. That is one of the reasons we are doing this: We want some feedback from you and yes we are going to use it in our next newsletter so you have to let us take a picture of you. If you are shy we can have you hide part of your face behind the Sun Bum Monkey.

Oh, just to let you know, Sun Bum is totally up to standard with the New FDA regulations on what they claim. PLUS they went to the Skin Cancer foundation and went through all of the testing and got a big thumbs up and now they are being recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation.

I also listed some facts about Sun Bum below. Check it out. OH!!! Before I forget... If you buy the Sun Bum and want to participate in the testimonial, you don’t have to come in. All you have to do is send us an email to sales@hawaiiansouthshore.com and don’t forget attach your picture!

Welcome Aboard Byron!Wasup everyone? Byron here. Y’know I’ll always remember the first time I set foot in Hawaiian South Shore, there was so much stuff to look at I was really blown away. Actually, to be really honest, I was even intimidated a little!

I’d never been in a shop like this before! The other “surf” shops I’d gone to in the past (which I won’t name, ha ha), mostly sold boardshorts, tank tops, and sunglasses. But these guys had the stuff I saw in surf mags and websites. All the latest board designs from JS, Lost, etc... it was like a “pro” shop, like the golf shops my dad used to drag me to when I was a kid, only this one was for surfers! At first I didn’t even want to touch anything!

But then I met Keith, Sareesa and Kyle, and I was stoked at how easy it was to talk with them. I got to demo fins, and got help in choosing fin sets from Kyle, I bought a Xanadu Rocket Fish with Sareesa’s help, and Keith helped me find the right shortboard when I was finally ready to transition to shortboarding. I’ve been stoked on this shop for years now, and I’m even more stoked to have the chance to work with everyone at Hawaiian South Shore.

Now I want to help other surfers share that stoke! Help them find boards or fins (or any item they need to get in the water)and stay surfing. That’s what I really love about working at Hawaiian South Shore, we don’t ever judge and we don’t pretend to be anything we’re not. We’re just a group of people who love and respect the ocean waves, and love to surf. So please come down, talk story with us. We’ll learn more about surfing from each other than we can on our own. And you can never have too many friends in the water. Peace!
