Built for the Morning Paddle Out
There is a particular kind of Kauai morning when the trade winds are light, the water is glassy, and the only thing on your mind is the next wave. The Koloa Rasta Makai Boardshorts were made for those mornings. Pull them on before the sun clears the ridge and you will find a fit that moves with you from the paddle out to the walk back up the sand.
Island life asks a lot of a pair of shorts. They get soaked, sandy, and sun-faded, then they get worn again the next day. These boardshorts take that in stride with a stretch fabric and a bold engineered tie-dye print that looks like the sunset colors you see over the water after a long session. They are a easy pick for the surfer who spends as much time at the beach as in the lineup.
What Goes Into It
- Fabric: 90% polyester and 10% elastane
- 4-way stretch for freedom of movement in the water and on the board
- Outseam measures 20 inches
- Engineered tie-dye print
- Side zip pocket to keep your essentials secure
- Lycra fly
Each detail was chosen to balance comfort, durability, and style, so the shorts hold up through long surf days without losing their shape.
Fit and Sizing
These boardshorts are available in waist sizes 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, and 38. The 4-way stretch fabric adds flexibility, so you can move freely whether you are duck diving or walking along the shoreline. Check the size chart before ordering to find the best match for your measurements. The 20 inch outseam gives a classic length that sits comfortably above the knee for most builds.
How to Wear It
Wear them straight from the water to the beach, or pair them with a Koloa tee for an easy afternoon around town. The tie-dye print works well with solid neutrals, so a plain tank or a white tee lets the colors stand out. Toss a hoodie over them for a cool evening at the harbor, and you have a look that works from sunrise to sunset.
Care
Rinse them with fresh water after salt and sand days to help keep the colors bright and the stretch lively. For washing and drying, please follow the care label inside the waistband. Laying them flat to dry is a good habit that helps the fabric keep its shape.
