Highs rents in Kailua, closing off doors in COVID-19 and the city closing off of licence to do rental gear & windsurf school for some time drive business down.

I understand business but that's sad.
Best of luck to them

Carol and Rick are the parents of Robby and Randy.

Rick was shaping long before the current Naish brand.

Sad to see them go. Bought all my gear there in the past. Great folks and a legendary family in our sport.

Same thing happened in QLD. Once the schools stopped operating & only did hires, the growth of the sport died. Only Doctors & Vets could afford the gear.

doesn't seem like it's anything to do with convid-19 as she says in the video, it's the high rent where they are.
