Competition:

Despite statewide tourism softening, Orchid Land Surfboards remains well-positioned in Hilo’s historic bayfront district, benefiting from steady domestic visitor traffic and weekly cruise ship arrivals. The shop’s strong local following, high visibility, and legacy give it an edge. With growing interest in sustainable, community-rooted businesses, there’s opportunity to expand offerings, engage eco-conscious visitors, and ride the next wave of Hawaii’s evolving retail landscape.

Growth & Expansion:

Growth potential includes launching an online store, expanding in-house branded products like apparel and surfboards, and opening a second location. Community events like beach cleanups and movie nights can deepen local ties and attract new customers. With strong tourist traffic, the shop is also well-positioned to grow through cruise packages, rentals, and surf lessons.

Support & Training:

Owner willing to provide training on delivering the daily surf report via the radio, will consider training the right person to learn to shape surfboards.
