Surfers on Kauai read the tides before they read anything else, and the Koloa Tides Heavyweight T-Shirt carries that island habit on a 6.1 oz cotton tee from Koloa Surf Company.
A tee for people who watch the water
Low tide on the reef, high tide at the river mouth: on an island, the ocean sets the schedule. This is an easygoing graphic tee for beach mornings, surf checks and everyday wear when you want to look like you just came off the coast.
Life by the tide
On Kauai, the tide decides a lot. It decides when the reef is open for walking, when a point break turns on and when the harbor is easy to paddle out of. Locals check the chart the way people elsewhere check the weather. The Tides tee is a quiet salute to that routine, from Koloa Surf Company, a brand that takes its cues from Kauai.

How it feels
Heavyweight cotton has some weight to it, so the tee drapes cleanly, and the relaxed fit leaves room through the body. The rib knit collar and back neck tape are the details that help the neckline stay put, and the removable tag keeps the back of the neck free of scratchy labels.
How to wear it
Wear it to check the surf at sunrise, to a casual dinner after the sun sets, or on a weekend errand run. It pairs with board shorts, jeans or work pants, and it layers well under an open button-up when the evening cools.
Care
Follow the care label sewn into the shirt. Washing it inside out is a simple habit that helps protect the print.
