About the Store
You don’t have to be next door to the waves to want the newest and coolest surf apparel. Maui Nix- North Carolina is fully stocked with the best surf and skate fashions at all times. Located in the heart of the triad (Winston-Salem, High Point, and Greensboro) you can find a rich skate scene of boarders in the local skate parks and downtown areas. In fact, Maui Nix is one of the very few skate shops in the area in which you can get the best boards, clothes, and accessories for those seasoned skaters. If you don’t believe us, just ask one of our many repeat customers.
Maui Nix has more than just boards to offer. We carry clothing brands such as Billabong, Hurley, Lost, Quiksilver, Vans, RVCA, Roxy, and Volcom just to name a few. With a wide selection of sunglasses, watches, shoes and jewelry you can put together the perfect outfit for any outing. With North Carolina’s strong motocross/dirt bike scene, we have the Fox merchandise that everyone is searching for. Monster and RockStar can also be found for those “Moto heads.”
So come on in, we have a staff that is 100% focused on customer service and is always ready to assist you.
Getting More Personal
Maui Nix-North Carolina is staffed with an elite 10 employees who eat, breath, and live our brands and lifestyle. Our management and employees are always on top of their selling game. Their top sales have landed them winners of contests such as: L.A. trip by Billabong for a Fashion for Humanity event, a California trip by SPY+ for a week of shred, surf, Moto, and mansion style living and many Oakley sunglasses.
Get to Know the Managers
*Amanda
Amanda has been with Maui Nix-North Carolina for over 5 years. She has held the title of store manager for a little over 2 of those years. The surf and skate lifestyle has always interested her and been a part of her since she was old enough to enjoy the beach and skate with her brother. Once she found the store in Hanes Mall she knew she wanted to work for us. She has climbed the latter starting as a regular employee during college and made her way to the position she holds now after she graduated. “I love the freedom and trust that the company has given me in running the store. They have also given me so many opportunities I would never get with another company. They know that I am interested in buying in the close future; therefore, they took me to the Surf Expo one year to get a firsthand look at the process,” states Amanda. The close family atmosphere, amazing brands, and great clientele are her favorite part of being with Maui Nix. Her new vice…learning to long board without killing herself.

*Zach
Zach, the self proclaimed “most attractive” member of management, has been with the store for 2 years. Zach claims that the cool atmosphere and merchandise is what drew him to work for Maui Nix. Coming for an old local competitor he found the similar brand names comforting to be around. He loves working with the friendly staff in a fun atmosphere. Zach states that he loves helping people with stuff that he is really into, such as skateboarding which he has been into since middle school. Although he claims to never have excelled in skateboarding, he knows a lot about the sport. Zach’s other vices are snowboarding and wakeboarding- which he is much better at. A family house at Lake Norman allows him to wakeboard 24/7 during the summer months. “It is amazing to work with great employees who share the same main interests as me. We have strong core customers who love our wide range of prices and knowledge about the product.” He says there is nothing better than getting to work in a store with really good new music and old classics while being surrounded in the brands and people you love.

*John
John is the newest addition to management. He has been with the store a little under a year but is already a vital part of our mix. Ever since John has been a little kid he has been skateboarding. He began in the industry as a teenager in helping build skate ramps for a local skate park. Later on he began managing BoardParadise, a local wake, skate, surf and snow company. After their doors closed he started at Maui Nix-North Carolina as an assistant manager. John loves that fact that everyone is so close here. “Since it is family run everyone is much more personable. How many people can say they have met and talked to the owner of their company?” states John. The store attracts a lot of younger kids that come in with their parents. We also have a lot of regular customers that are really amazing. He describes the store’s vibe as laidback although we are always on top of customer service we don’t annoy them….the customers appreciate that.
