History of Jams World
jams world hawaiian dress
Over the years, we've worked hard to develop a keen sense of who we are and what we want to be. We are art-driven and demand of ourselves the highest standard of beauty, uniqueness, quality, and service. This, you will always find at Jams World.

--Pua Rochlen, President
-- David Y. Rochlen, Founder & Chair, Surf Line Hawaii, Ltd.

With roots starting in the ocean, Jams World's origin began as a surfboard shop called "Surf Line Hawaii", a small shop in Honolulu, Hawaii, located across the street from the famous "Ala Moana" Shopping Center.

They carried mostly surfboards from legends like Yater, Hobie, Bing, Lopez, and Aipa, to name a few. They could not find any clothing that they thought was fun, colorful, and unique so we began to create our own - the first being Jams, long, colorful, and fun.

Mike Doyle, then World Champion, wore the first pair at Makaha in the 60's, and then so did Butch Van Artsdalen, a talented surfer, lifeguard, and waterman. And the rest is history.

Today Jams World has grown up; selling to accounts throughout the world. The reason for Jams World's success is passion. Jams World has truly become one of the beach & resort apparel industry's True Leaders. --www.jamsworld.com.
