Overview

HONOLUA is a surf and beachwear brand founded in 1995 on the island of Maui, Hawaii, USA, by co-founders Tom Knapp and Randy Blumer. The brand name comes from Honolua Bay, a surf spot on the west side of Maui. Centered on apparel for men, women, and children, its product range includes swimwear, board shorts, rash guards, hats, and bags, and is based on the “waterman” lifestyle, in which the ocean is central to everyday life. Against the backdrop of Hawaiian surf culture and the island’s relaxed way of life, the brand offers products for an ocean lifestyle.

Concept

Celebrates the life of the waterman – men and women whose lives revolve around an ocean-inspired lifestyle.
