Tired of heavy, chafing swim shorts that fade in one season? The Kanaha’s 8-Way Octo-Stretch quick-dry fabric with built-in SPF 50 keeps you comfortable from first wave to last light. Order by 2 PM HST and it leaves Maui today.
Dear waterman,
- Do you peel off soaked shorts hours after leaving the water?
- Are you re-buying the same mall brand every single summer?
- Have you cut a beach day short because of chafing?
Cheap board shorts are built from stiff 2-way fabric that soaks up water like a sponge, rubs your thighs raw by noon, and turns gray after ten washes. You don’t need another pair of those. You need the pair watermen on Maui have trusted for four decades.
90% polyester, 10% spandex, engineered into a weave that moves every direction the ocean throws at you.
- The weave flexes 8 ways. Squat, paddle, climb back on the board. The fabric stretches with you instead of against you.
- Water sheds instead of soaking. The poly-spandex blend releases water in minutes, so the shorts stay light from first session to last.
- SPF 50 blocks UV all day. The protection is woven into the fabric. It doesn’t wash off and it doesn’t wear out.
Adventure Digest gave the Kanaha its top award. The watermen who wear it agree.
