Once again, I'm overcome with emotion. I continually find stories about Riptides and people's memories they've made with us

This Saturday it's ON!!!
A trifecta of fun - you won't want to miss:

* Food ( Shave Ice 🍧 & Za Pizza 🍕 )
*Doggies 🐶 (Free pup cups- shave ice w chicken broth)
*Amazing humans
... and a whole lot of fun‼️ 

Come out and show your support for Riptide’s Shave Ice 🌺 and our Field Trips for Shelter Dogs program! 🎉

Pupcups from Mindy’s south side snack shack was always a favorite stop of our field trip pups. Sadly, Hurricane Lowell completely destroyed Riptides and Mindy is left with the difficult job of rebuilding it all 💔 So we’re teaming up to have a Riptides pop-up fun-raiser at our shelter, along with other great activities! 🙌

This pet and keiki friendly event is going to be lots of fun- with puppy playpens and dog playgroups, our agility course in our newly reopened dog parks and even our friends from Za Kaua‘i ! 🍕

We’re excited to see you there! And don’t forget to bring your pup for a free pupcup too! 🐾

Mahalo for the overwhelming amount of support being sent my way! Ask anyone.. I'm never speechless but the level of Aloha I am feeling has truly humbled me. Thank you to everybody who has reached out, lifted me up and has supported me and my endeavors throughout the years. I cannot wait to get back to serving you all! 

For those of you who have asked, my friend has set up a GoFundMe account to help rebuild Riptides. I sincerely appreciate every like, share, comment and donation 🫶🏼 🥹💫❤️

Aloha Kaua'i and all of my amazing customers that I've served over the years.
For those of you who don't know, Hurricane Lowell did major damage on our beautiful island. Sadly, it took 2 lives and destroyed homes, restaurants, hotels, businesses, and Riptides was one of them 🥹She was uprooted and tossed into the lagoon of Lawai Beach Resort 💔
We are starting from scratch having to rebuild from the ground up
It's taken me a moment to process and accept, but I'm ready to start moving forward with the building of Riptides 2.0 !
I'll keep everyone posted as to where we are with the build and what our needs might be and I truly hope I get to serve all of you again really soon ❤️
Mahalo for your support over the years... We will be back better than ever
