I know there is a lot of confusion (but probably not here) between hula, luau, surfer, seashore and tiki. I do find it funny when you see tikis, tropical flowers, conch shells, palm trees, surf boards, parrots, toucans, monkeys, flamingos and hula girls with leopard and zebra patterns thrown in the mix, all tied up with a raffia bow. (Actually, throw in a lot of Indian, Thai, Indonesian, Chinese, Tibetan and Mexican stuff and it sounds a lot like my house, so I guess it's not that funny) I guess when you get to that point you are in Exotica, not Tiki land.
