Our Story

The Spear Family

Karen and Steve Spear moved to the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii in the late 80's as a young couple, and started Recon Surf across from Schofield Barracks in the Summer of '91. Years later they decided to move back home to Wilmington to start a family. In 2016, they opened the shop you know and love today to share the experience with their kids, Malia and Kala.

The roots of Recon Surf are well represented by the blend of brands carried, such as local brands and unique Hawaiian goods. We have everything you need, from bikes to boardshorts.
