MALO - Neoprene Surf Suite - EDITION #1
Be Part of the Beginning
This isn’t just a surf trunk—it’s the first step in reimagining the Hawaiian malo for a new age. By pre-ordering, you join us at the ground level of product development, helping to shape a garment that bridges tradition and innovation. This first release marks the opening round of designs, created not only for performance in the water, but as a living symbol of our heritage.
Surfing was born in Hawaiʻi, the sport of kings, and it began with the malo. Today, we honor that lineage through the Na ALii, forging a path that asserts our place in history—not just as keepers of the past, but as designers of the future. Your support ensures this vision comes alive, and together, we carry forward the responsibility of those who first rode the waves.
Made to Order in Hawaiʻi
Please allow up to 30 days for product development and delivery, as each piece is being carefully handcrafted here in Hawaiʻi. This time ensures that every trunk is finished with the attention, precision, and cultural respect it deserves—no mass production, only authentic creation.
An Invitation to Co-Create
We are not simply releasing a product—we are opening the doors for you to take part in its creation. By joining this first round of pre-orders, you become a collaborator in the development of a new-age Hawaiian malo, working alongside our designers as we refine fit, form, and function.
Each preorder secures one of the original artifacts of this movement—fashion pieces that embody both heritage and innovation. These early editions will stand as rare, foundational works: proof that you were there at the beginning, shaping a garment that honors our past and redefines the future of surf culture.
Through this process, you are not just a customer—you are part of the story, part of the responsibility, and part of history in the making.
Neoprene is a synthetic rubber material (scientifically called polychloroprene) that was first developed in the 1930s. It’s famous for being:
-
Flexible & Stretchy – It moves with the body, making it ideal for activewear and sports.
-
Water-Resistant – It doesn’t absorb water easily, which is why it’s widely used in wetsuits, surf gear, and aquatic products.
-
Durable – Resistant to heat, cold, UV rays, saltwater, and rough use, so it lasts longer than most fabrics.
-
Insulating – Helps maintain body warmth in the ocean by trapping a thin layer of water that heats up against the skin.
In fashion, neoprene has evolved beyond wetsuits—designers use it for its structured yet comfortable feel, giving garments a sculpted, modern edge while keeping them practical for water and land.
For your Hawaiian malo surf trunk, neoprene means it’s not just symbolic—it’s functional for surfing, comfortable for movement, and bold in design.
