Sun and Surf Protection Made for Kauai Water Days
The Koloa Surf UPF 50 Rash Guard is built for the hours you spend in and around the ocean. On Kauai the sun is strong from the moment you paddle out at Poipu to the last wave at the end of the day, and a good rash guard keeps you comfortable while you surf, swim, snorkel or paddle. This one carries the classic Koloa wave logo, so you get real water performance with the island style Koloa Surf Co is known for.
Koloa is the small town on the south shore of Kauai where our brand takes its name, and the wave logo on this shirt is the classic Koloa Surf mark. Whether you are a local heading out before work or a visitor learning your first take-off on a longboard, this is a shirt that works hard in the water and still looks right on the beach afterward.
Our crew prints the logo, and the shirt is built around a stretch jersey that moves with you. It is cut for a trim, comfortable fit, so it stays close to the body and out of the way when you are paddling, popping up or swimming.

How to Wear It
A rash guard earns its place in three spots: in the lineup, on the sand and on the boat. Wear it as a base layer under a wetsuit on cooler mornings, on its own when the water is warm, or over swim trunks for a day of paddleboarding, kayaking or snorkeling. It also works for beach volleyball, fishing trips and long hikes to the water where you want a light layer that dries easily.
For the beach, pair it with board shorts and a Wave Boonie Sun Hat for a full sun-smart outfit. Because the logo is simple and bold, it looks great in photos and is easy to spot in a crowd at the shore.
Care and Fit Notes
Rinse your rash guard in fresh water after salt water or chlorine, then let it air dry out of direct sun. Always follow the care label sewn into your shirt for washing and drying directions.
The cut is trim, so if you prefer a looser feel or plan to layer underneath, consider ordering one size up. Use our size chart to compare your chest measurement with the maker numbers above before you choose.
