The Moment Before the Curl
There is a stretch of quiet on the beach when a wave stands up and starts to curl. Everyone stops talking and watches. That moment, the barrel, is what inspired this long sleeve tee, and it is the feeling we wanted to keep close after the session ends.
Picture a morning at Poʻipū with the trade winds still soft and the sand cool underfoot. Pull this shirt on for the walk back to the car, or carry it along for the long afternoon when the swell keeps rolling in. It is meant to go from the first light of a dawn patrol to a sun-faded evening without fuss.
What Goes Into It
- 6.1-ounce, 100% soft-spun cotton
- Barrels surf graphic
- Long sleeve t-shirt style
- Rib-knit and reinforced seam details
- Six color options: Military Green, Black, Navy, Sand, Stonewashed Green, and White
- Sizes Small through 4X-Large
The fabric has a substantial, heavyweight feel that still feels soft against the skin. The rib knit and reinforced seams are there for repeated wear, so the shirt holds its shape through many days at the beach.
Fit and Sizing
Choose your usual size for a comfortable everyday fit, or size up if you like a roomier shape that layers well over other pieces. Compare the measurements on our size chart with a long sleeve you already own, paying attention to chest and sleeve length. The sizing runs through 4X-Large, and our big and tall surf apparel page has more options for taller builds.
How to Wear It
Wear it alone with jeans or board shorts on a cool day, or layer it under a hoodie when the wind picks up along the shoreline at Hanalei. Black, Navy, and Military Green pair easily with denim and khaki, while Sand and White look fresh with lighter bottoms for warm afternoons.
Care
Follow the care label inside the shirt for washing and drying instructions. Turning it inside out before washing can help the graphic and colors last through many seasons of wear.
