Treehouse By Bobby Asato In Honolulu, Hawaii

By: Yong-Ki Chang

Good friend, Bobby Asato recently opened a new store in Honolulu, Hawaii called the, "Treehouse."  Aptly named as it's on the second floor of Ward Center. When you're in Hawaii, this should be on your list of destination spots. You'll find Jef Hartsel's EZ-Ryder Originalz skateboards amongst children's educational items and Bobby's finely curated product selections.  


Bobby and Hartsel were also featured in Blue Magazine No. 26
