Built for the Morning Before the Sun Clears the Ridge
Some mornings on Kauaʻi start before the sun clears the ridgeline. You load the board, check the wind, and head for a break that only a few people know by name. A tank top for that kind of day needs to feel broken in from the first wear, and this one does. The pigment dye gives it a soft, worn-in look that suits a walk along Poʻipū just as well as a long session in the water.
The Thruster logo across the chest is a nod to the surfboards that started so many of our favorite stories. We wanted a piece that carries that spirit without shouting about it. Pull it on after a rinse-off shower, throw it over your board shorts, or wear it from the car to the taco stand on a breezy afternoon in Hanalei.

Because each garment is pigment dyed, you may notice slight color variation from one shirt to the next. That is part of the character of the piece, and it makes every tank a little different.
Fit and Sizing
Pigment dyed shirts run about three quarters to one full size larger than our standard shirts, so consider sizing down if you prefer a closer fit. Sizes run from Small through 4X-Large. Check the size chart before you order to find the measurements that work best for you.
How to Wear It
Wear it loose over swim trunks for a relaxed beach look, or layer it under an open button shirt on a cool evening. It also works as an easy base for a day of exploring, from a sunrise paddle to a slow walk along the sand at Anini. Pair it with sandals, a faded cap and a little salt in the air.
Care
Follow the care label inside the shirt for washing and drying instructions. Washing inside out in cold water helps protect the pigment dye and keeps the color looking soft over time.
