Rash guard with distinct Hawaii look

The state sport deserves a rash guard that looks like it lives here, too.

Designed by kahuna ka uhi (expert tattooist) Keone Nunes, the shirts offer maximum sun protection with local style. The material is 80 percent polyester and 20 percent lycra, making for a lightweight, comfortable fit.

Perfect for all-day water wear, whether your sport is outrigger canoe paddling, surfing or stand-up paddling. Available in men’s and women’s long and short sleeves, and in various colors.

Priced from $75. Available at www.c4waterman.com and the C4 Waterman shop at 330 Coral St., Honolulu. Call 739-2837.
