🏄♂️ Ohana Surf Shop Staff Picks: Our Favorite Surf Gear in 2025

Trusted by Our Crew, Loved by Our Community
At Ohana Surf Shop, we only carry what we believe in—gear we actually use in Florida's real-world surf and beach conditions. From leashes to longboards, towels to wax, our crew tests it all so you don’t have to.
Here’s what we’re stoked on this year—and why we think you’ll love it too:
🩱 1. Sandcloud Sand Resistant Towels
Picked by: Tara, Shop Owner
“I bring mine on any beach or water adventure. It’s sand-resistant, dries fast, and works as a cover-up when the sun sets.”
Available in:
Classic towels
Backpack towel combo
Oversized beach blankets
🛍️ Shop in-store for your perfect pattern and size.
🐶 2. Ohana Pups Leashes & Collars
Picked by: Pat, Shop Manager
“We bring our dogs to work every day—so it made sense to create our own eco-conscious line. These are made from recycled bike tires and made in the USA.”
The full collection includes:
Leashes & collars
Collapsible water bowls
Tough beach toys
🐾 Designed for durability, and approved by the bestest beach pups.
🕯️ 3. Sticky Bumps Surf Wax – Tropical Formula
Picked by: Cash, Local Team Rider
“This stuff sticks like crazy in warm Florida water. I use it year-round—it works for everything from shortboards to logs.”

Available in warm, cool, and tropical formulas.
🏄♀️ 4. Clean Ocean 9’ Chinonga & Firewire Machadocado
Picked by: Jordan, Shop Owner
“I’m loving the 9’2 Chinonga single fin—it nose rides smooth but turns on a dime. For shortboarding, it’s all about the Firewire Machadocado. Float + performance = magic.”
✅ We stock 125+ boards in-store
🔄 Demo rides available—try before you buy
🌱 5. Ohana Surf Leashes
Picked by: Ethan, Shop Staff
“These are made in the USA and tested in all kinds of conditions. I’ve never had one break or tangle around my feet—plus the color options are awesome.”
Available in:
5’ comp, 6’ comp
7’, 8’, and 9’ leashes (ankle and calf options)
🧵 Performance-tested, locally approved.
♻️ 6. Ecobandage & The Bug Juice
Picked by: Susie, Co-Manager
“Ecobandage is a waterproof healing gel that replaces 100+ traditional bandages—and it’s compostable. Bug Juice? It’s my everyday go-to. Keeps bugs off and calms eczema. Pure magic.”
Why we love them:
Eco-friendly, multi-use healing gel
Bug Juice is chemical-free, gentle, and kid-safe
Both products are perfect for beach bags or surf trips
🌱 Good for your skin, better for the planet.
🌊 Bonus Pick: Custom Shaped Boards (Made in Florida)
Picked by: Everyone at Ohana
“These are built by hand, tested in Stuart waves, and dialed in for local breaks. We’ll help match you to a board that actually works for your body, style, and goals.”
