Built for the Hours You Spend in the Water
On Kauai, the best sessions often run long. You paddle out early, catch a few sets, then sit on the board between waves while the sun climbs higher over the north shore. A good rash guard earns its place on days like that, and this one was designed with those hours in mind.
The Koloa Thruster long sleeve rash guard is meant to move with you, whether you are duck diving, swimming out to a break, or spending an afternoon paddling along the coast. It is a practical layer for surfers, paddleboarders, and anyone who loves being on the water in the islands.

Fit and Sizing
This rash guard has a trim, comfortable fit, so it sits close to the body without feeling tight through the shoulders and arms. Sizes run from X-Small through 4X-Large. For help picking your size, check our size chart before you order. If you fall between sizes or want a little extra room, our big and tall surf apparel page has more guidance.
How to Wear It
Pull this rash guard on over your head and let it settle before you head out. Wear it on its own for sun protection during a paddle, or layer it under a wetsuit on cooler mornings. It also works well on land after a session, rinsed and hung to dry while you grab a bite at the beach.
Care
Rinse your rash guard with fresh water after each use to remove salt and sand. Follow the care label on the garment for washing and drying instructions, and avoid harsh detergents to help the fabric keep its stretch and color.
