His & Hers Surf Break
For Chelsea Ecat and Bronson Klau, Waikīkī is the perfect microcosm of local living. We asked the pair to share their itinerary for their perfect surf-day at Waikīkī.

チェルシー・エカットとブロンソン・クラウの二人にとって、ワイキキはハワイ暮らしを楽しむのに最高の小宇宙。「コナ・コーヒー・パーベイヤーズ」でジェネラルマネージャーを務めるエカットとバリスタを務めるクラウに、名高いワイキキのサーフスポットで過ごすサーフィン三昧の一日を案内してもらった。
The couple can be found either behind the counter at Kona Coffee Purveyors, where Ecat serves as the general manager and Klau as a barista, or catching waves at Waikīkī’s famed surf breaks.
CHELSEA AND BRONSON'S PICKS
#1
FOR SURF APPAREL
Hurley
“Hurley was very much around when I was a high schooler back in California. Hurley actually sponsored our school, Huntington Beach High, for a lot of our sportswear. They have good brand initiatives and are always forward thinking. They keep the brand small and only have select pieces, which I admire because they know their image and stick to it.”
— CHELSEA ECAT
#2
FOR BEACH ESSENTIALS
Eden in Love
“Sun safety is very important, but it’s also important that the products we use are sustainable and ocean friendly. Other than stocking Coola, a sunscreen that has no coral threatening chemicals, Eden in Love has everything else you might need for a beach day. Their selection is always every changing which is fun. Every time I go in, there’s always something new to scope out.”
— CHELSEA ECAT
#3
FOR SURFING
Canoes, Queens, and Pops
“Waikīkī has some of the best surfing spots in the world. Part of the reason why we moved to Waikīkī was to be closer to the surf. These three spots are definitely our go-to, especially since they’re so close to work. We always have time to pop in for a quick session before our shifts,”
