Inter-Island Surf Shop Featured in Virgin Australia Magazine August 2015
The beachside capital of Hawaii offers more than
just sun and sand. Here, surfer and entrepreneur
Matt Luttrell shares the best places to eat, drink
and hang ten in his adopted home town.
Here in Hawaii, we ‘talk story’, which is local slang for shooting the breeze. One of my favourite people to talk story with is the owner of Inter-Island Surf Shop, Barry Morrison. No-one can tell a story like the owner of a surf shop, and if you bring Barry a beer, you can be sure you will hear a good one. Just remember to call ahead of time if the surf is up, though — Barry could very well be out surfing his favourite reef.
