*****ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL STICKERS LOCAL MOTION EVER MADE. STICKER IS AWESOME. MEASURES NEARLY 11" WIDE X NEARLY 3" DEEP. LOCAL MOTION HAWAII W AS KNOWN ALL OVER THE WORLD FOR THEIR SURFBOARDS, SURF CLOTHING AND ALL SORTS OF SURF PRODUCTS. THEY WERE ONE OF THE MOST RAD SURF COMPANIES IN THE WORLD. SOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO , IF YOU WANT SOMETHING NOBODY ELSE HAS, BECAUSE IT IS RARE, VINTAGE, FROM THE 80'S AND AWESOME, GET THIS. ONCE UPON A TIME, ONLY THOSE WHO LIVED IN THE COASTAL AREAS HAD THE AWESOME PRIVILEGE TO WEAR SURF CLOTHING OR BUY SURF STICKERS. HOWEVER IN THE AFFLUENT AREAS, THOSE WHO HAD THE MEANS, (BECAUSE SOME LIVED BEYOND THEIR MEANS) COULD GO ON SPRING BREAK OR GO IN THE SUMMER. THEY BOUGHT THESE THINGS AND BROUGHT THEM BACK HOME TO WEAR (AND SHOW OFF THEIR TONED BODIES) OR PASTED THE STICKERS ON THEIR PICKUPS OR CARS. HOWEVER, I GOT REAL JEALOUS, BECAUSE I, AND PEOPLE I KNEW, WANTED TO WEAR THESE SAME BEACH/SURF THINGS AND BE STARED AT TOO, WITH OUR TONED BODIES, AT THE LOCAL POOL (WE COULDN'T AFFORD TO GO TO THE OCEAN). OR, IN THE CASE OF THE STICKERS, WE COULDN'T EVEN GET THE PEOPLE IN THE COASTAL AREAS TO SEND US ONE BECAUSE THEY SAID WE LIVED IN "COW COUNTRY, WITH MANURE AND ALL THAT STUFF." I SEETHED. THEN, I BEGAN THINKING WE ALL COULD WEAR THESE SAME THINGS, AND I COULD PLASTER THESE SURF STICKERS ALL OVER MY '63 PICKUP, IF I OPENED A SURF STORE . SO, THAT'S WHAT I DID. I OPENED A SURF STORE, RIGHT HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF KANSAS, (NOT A REAL BRIGHT IDEA AT THAT TIME). SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO , ALTHOUGH THIS IS VINTAGE, IT IS ALSO BRAND NEW, RARE & AWESOME. THESE STICKERS SOLD RIGHT ALONGSIDE MAUI AND SONS HAWAII, GOTCHA, LOCAL MOTION HAWAII, CAT.CHIT, ORIGINAL JAMS, QUIKSILVER, LIFE'S A BEACH ETC., THAT BECAME PARTICULARLY WELL-KNOWN DURING THE EARLY 80'S, DURING THE FABULOUS USA BEACH CRAZE. EVERYBODY HAD TO HAVE ONE OF THEIR THINGS . THIS IS AN AUTHENTIC VINTAGE LOCAL MOTION HAWAII SURF STICKER. IS NOT A RIPOFF, LOOK ALIKE, MADE IN SOME FOREIGN COUNTRY TO RESEMBLE THE REAL DEAL. THIS IS THE REAL DEAL.BRAND NEW AND NEVER BEEN SOLD BEFORE. I KEPT ALL THESE THINGS SINCE THE TIME I CLOSED MY STORE, YOU ANIMAL YOU. WHEN I FIRST OPENED THE STORE (IN KANSAS) EVERYBODY THOUGHT WE ACTUALLY HAD COWS WALKING DOWN THE MIDDLE OF OUR STREETS. WELL!!!!!!!!!!! THAT WAS, UNTIL THIS SURF AND SKATE SHOP BECAME KNOWN AS HAVING THE COOLEST THINGS IN THE COUNTRY. THERE WERE SURF BOARDS, MANNEQUINS HANGING UPSIDE DOWN WEARING SURFER AND SKATE CLOTHES, REAL ANIMALS CRUISING THE STORE, IN CONDOS BUILT JUST FOR THEM, NEON DUNE BUGGIES, BODY GLOVE, OAKLEY, NO FEAR, BILLABONG, LIFE'S A BEACH, MAUI, T & C SURF HAWAII AND OTHER NEON SIGNS BEFORE SOME OF THESE COMPANIES WERE EVEN WELL KNOWN YET. THERE WERE RUBBER RATS HANGING FROM THE CEILING, HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE GIRLS ON STAFF AND IT WAS REALLY FUN. THIS STORE WAS WRITTEN UP IN ALL THE RAGS (MAGAZINES). THESE ARE NOT ONLY VINTAGE, BUT WILL BECOME EVEN MORE VALUABLE AS TIME GOES BY. COMPLAINTS: IF YOU HAVE ANY COMPLAINTS, PLEASE NOTIFY ME BEFORE GIVING NEGATIVE FEEDBACK.
