Our Favorite Things

Here at Big Island Swim & Surf Company, there are some products we simply can’t get enough of, so we always keep them in stock. These are a few of our favorite things.

No. 1  |  Aloha Collection Travel Bags

These splash-proof travel bags keep dry items dry (protecting your must-haves from the Pacific) and wet items wet (getting that damp bikini back home). Bonus: They’re available in a variety of styles, sizes, colors and prints.

$24 to $58

No. 2  |  Robin Piccone Pareo

This Robin Piccone pareo is the perfect little cover-up for any tropical vacation. We think it deserves a permanent spot in your carry-on.

$48

No. 3  |  Tess + Tricia Jewelry

This line of ethically crafted natural stone jewelry comes from Excelsior mother-and-daughter duo Patricia and Tessa Webber. We just love their mission: to craft exquisite jewelry while providing living wages to women in need within the community. Find the jewelry here!

$45 to $280

No. 4  |  Men’s Hybrid Shorts

From go-to surf brands like Billabong, Hurley, O’Neill, Quiksilver and Volcom, these stylish men’s shorts are versatile and fast-drying. We dig how easily they transition from the beach to the golf course to dinner.

$49 to $68

Our Holiday Gift Guide

There’s no denying it: Winter is here. And while that means summertime lakeside fun is behind us, it also means the holidays are upon us. Here are some ideas to kick off your seasonal shopping.

No. 1  |  Fin Fun Mermaid Tails

Let’s be honest: We’ve all had daydreams about becoming a mermaid (equally inspired by The Little Mermaid and Splash). Available in a variety of colors and constructed from specialty swimwear fabric, Fin Fun’s durable, comfortable mermaid tails are perfect for kids and adults alike.

$55 to $138

No. 2  |  Ferrari Ray-Bans

It doesn’t get much better than this collection of limited-edition frames. They’re the result of a dream partnership between top sunglass brand Ray-Ban and elite automaker Ferrari.

$233 to $303

No. 3  |  Waterproof Phone Cases

 

These aptly named Water Defender bags protect your phone and feature a clear window that lets you text, snap photos and check Instagram on the go. The best part: They float.

$19.99

No. 4  |  Gorjana Jewelry

This stunning, lightweight jewelry is meant to be layered. Our picks? The Power Gemstone Bracelets, which each have a unique meaning (think courage, energy or tranquility), and the Script Bracelets.

$35 to $135

No. 5  |  Baby Foot Foot Peel

Say goodbye to rough, dry soles thanks to this innovative foot-care product. It features 17 types of natural extracts that remove unwanted dead skin cells and leave your feet as smooth and soft as — you guessed it — a baby’s. Follow up with the new Moisturizing Foot Mask to complete the experience.
