Why You'll Love It

  • Legendary Waikiki Breaks: Queens and Canoes are where Waikiki's surf story lives—gentle rollers perfect for longboarding and learning, steps from the beach where Duke Kahanamoku once surfed.
  • Vintage Hawaii Aesthetic: Retro-inspired design captures the timeless spirit of South Shore surf culture with authentic, understated style.
  • Premium Comfort: 100% ring-spun cotton pocket tee with garment-dyed, pre-shrunk fabric and relaxed vintage fit that gets softer with every wash.

About Queens & Canoes

Queen's and Canoes are two of Waikiki's most beloved surf breaks, located off Kuhio Beach in the heart of Honolulu's South Shore. Queen's—named for Queen Liliuokalani's beach house that once stood nearby—is known for long, mellow rights perfect for longboarding and beginners finding their feet. Just to the west, Canoes offers similarly friendly waves where outrigger canoe clubs have paddled for over a century. Together, these breaks embody the aloha spirit of surfing: welcoming, accessible, and steeped in Hawaiian tradition. With Diamond Head watching over the lineup and the pink Royal Hawaiian Hotel as your backdrop, catching waves at Queens and Canoes means surfing where legends learned, where beach boys still teach the ancient art of he'e nalu (wave sliding), and where every sunset session feels like stepping into old Hawaii. This tee honors the soul of Waikiki surfing—where the waves are gentle, the stoke is real, and everyone is welcome in the lineup.
