Maui and Sons is a retail surf shop on the Venice Boardwalk. This “Flagship” retail store opened in April 2008. The surf shop offers everything from surf lessons and board rentals to boardshorts, rashguards, and everything in-between.

At the Venice Boardwalk store, Maui and Sons has a large figure of a well-ripped, blue-skinned human figure with a sharks head. The figure holds a surfboard. Zippy stopped by and the shark suggested that they have a poetry smackdown. Zippy pointed out the problems of getting permissions from the estates of poets, such as E.E Cummings, W.H. Auden and Allen Ginsberg.
