The Waiʻanae tank, for the town that is the Westside of Oʻahu. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Waiʻanae vintage retro logo on the chest in white, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Waiʻanae piece: light enough for the trail, the boat and the porch, cut in a retail unisex fit that runs true to size. Order it before the warm weather does the deciding for you.

Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton gives this lightweight unisex tank its soft jersey feel. The retail fit runs true to size for adults, with side-seam construction, self-fabric binding, and a tear-away label. Solid colors are 100% cotton and select heather/prism shades may include cotton–poly or cotton–poly–rayon blends.

The Westside has been Native Hawaiian ground for centuries; Kāneʻāki Heiau in Mākaha Valley dates to the 15th century, evidence of a community large enough to have its own chief, and the Waiʻanae Coast today holds one of the highest concentrations of Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders anywhere.

In 1937 surfers found the big winter waves at Mākaha, and the Mākaha International of 1952 was the first international surf competition in the world; Israel Kamakawiwoʻole grew up on this coast. The Waiʻanae Range rises behind it to Mount Kaʻala, the highest point on Oʻahu at 4,025 feet. The Westside is the mark on this piece.

Product FAQs

How does your sizing work?

Every item is made to order, so please check the size chart on this page before you buy. Women's fitted tees run small; size up for a looser fit. Caps are one size with an adjustable strap.

How are items made and when will they arrive?

We make each item to order using premium blanks, embroidery and soft-hand prints. Production takes 2-5 business days (weekends and holidays excluded), then 4-10 days in transit via USPS, UPS or FedEx to U.S. addresses; most orders arrive within 6-15 business days. You'll get a tracking link the moment it ships. Any current shipping offer is shown in the bar at the top of every page and applies automatically at checkout, no code needed.

How do I send a gift?

Enter the recipient's address as the shipping address and your own as the billing address at checkout. Nothing ships with a price; the package includes a plain packing slip. Tracking goes to your email, not theirs. For birthdays and holidays, order two weeks ahead to be safe.

What's the return policy?

Made-to-order items can't be returned or exchanged for size or color, so please use the size chart and photos before ordering. If anything arrives defective, misprinted or damaged, send a photo and your order number within 30 days and we'll replace it or refund you.

How do I care for my item?

Apparel: wash cold, inside out, with like colors; no bleach; tumble dry low or hang dry. Embroidered pieces: iron inside out to protect the stitching. Caps: spot clean. Printed glasses and water bottles: hand wash only, no dishwasher, so the artwork lasts. Mugs and engraved glasses are dishwasher safe. Any item-specific care notes are in the description above.

All Waiʻanae Hawaiʻi Items

Mākaha Beach is a birthplace of big-wave surfing: the Mākaha International Surfing Championships, founded in 1952 by the Waikīkī Surf Club, were the world's first international surfing contest.

Today Waiʻanae is, above everything, a residential Native Hawaiian community on the leeward coast of Oʻahu: the long Waiʻanae moku running from Kahe to Kaʻena Point along Farrington Highway, the Waiʻanae Mountain Range rising to Mount Kaʻala behind it, Mākaha Beach and the big-wave surf credentials that started the world's first international surfing competition, the protected swimming waters of Pōkaʻī Bay, the working ahi-tuna port at the Waiʻanae Small Boat Harbor, and the long ahupuaʻa heritage that has carried these shores for centuries. Our Waiʻanae designs are made for that coast — the leeward Westside, the Royal Center of the moku, and the beach that taught the world what big-wave surfing looked like.

Why People Visit Waiʻanae Hawaiʻi

Waiʻanae offers the original home of big-wave surfing at Mākaha Beach, the world's first international surfing competition (1953-1954) and the long-running Buffalo's Big Board Surfing Classic, the protected swimming waters of Pōkaʻī Bay with its Pōkaʻī coconut-grove legend and Kūʻīlioloa Heiau, the 15th-century Kāneʻāki Heiau in Mākaha Valley, the 4,025-foot summit of Mount Kaʻala as the highest peak on Oʻahu, the westernmost tip of Oʻahu at Kaʻena Point, and the long Native Hawaiian heritage of the Waiʻanae moku that has carried this coast for centuries. It is the leeward Westside of Oʻahu — a residential community whose culture is alive, and where the world first watched surfers ride big waves on television. On the Westside since time before contact.
