The blue marlin of Hawaii's deep water
The blue marlin is the big game fish of the Pacific, and Kauai's sportfishing fleet chases it offshore from harbors like Nawiliwili. This lightweight tee carries a bold marlin graphic made for anglers, boat crews and anyone who loves the open ocean. The soft ring spun cotton is light enough for warm island days.
Koloa Surf Co. is a Kauai brand, and the ocean is the whole point of what we do. A marlin is a fish that fishermen talk about for years: fast, powerful and hard to forget once you have seen one at the end of a line. On Kauai the dock is as much a part of island life as the beach, and boat crews, charter captains and weekend anglers all share the same love for deep blue water. This tee brings that feeling onshore with a graphic that is easy to spot and fun to wear.

Fit and feel
At 4.5 ounces, this is our lightweight tee. Ring spun cotton is known for a soft, smooth feel, and the lighter weight makes the shirt breathe well when the sun is out and the air is warm. It is a different feel from our heavyweight designs, which use a thicker 6.1 ounce cotton, so choose this one when you want a softer, airier tee. The 1x1 rib knit collar is made to hold its shape, and the shoulder-to-shoulder neck tape adds strength across the back of the neck. Use the size chart to pick your size, and visit the Big and Tall surf apparel page for larger sizes.
How to wear it
This tee is made for a day on the water. Wear it on a fishing charter, a harbor walk or a lazy afternoon at the beach. Because it is light, it layers easily under a fishing shirt or a light jacket for an early start on the boat, and it also wears well on its own in warm weather. Pair it with board shorts, cargo shorts or jeans, and add a cap from our hat collection to keep the sun off your face.
Where it fits
Fishing charters, beach outings, harbor days, and casual coastal living. It layers easily or wears on its own in warm weather, and it makes a natural gift for the angler in your life.
