Early Sessions, Salt Air and a Shirt That Just Works
Some mornings on Kauaʻi start before the sun clears the ridgeline. You grab your board, walk down to the water, and reach for the shirt you have worn since your first surf trips. The Koloa Surf Original Turtle Tank Top is made for those mornings and the long afternoons that follow, when the trade winds settle and the day stretches out.
It takes its cues from the vintage tanks and surf tees many of us grew up wearing. The look is simple and familiar, with Koloa Surf logos printed on the front. Pull it on for a Poʻipū morning or a walk along Hanalei Bay, then keep it on for an easy evening with friends. It earns its spot in the rotation quickly.

Fit and Sizing

How to Wear It
Wear it solo with board shorts and sandals for a sunrise paddle at Tunnels or a quick dip at Anini. Layer it under an open button shirt when the evening breeze picks up around Kalapakī. It works just as well with jeans for a relaxed night out after a full day in the water.
Care
Follow the care label inside the shirt for washing and drying instructions. Turning it inside out and using cool water helps keep the logos and colors looking fresh through many more sessions.
