In 1997, Kanu Surf set out to build and sell better board shorts for men, women, and children.
Founded right in the heart of the Garment District in New York City, they first sold door-to-door to local surfers, mom and pop surf shops, and a few gift stores at local beaches. A few good years of making waves, always focusing on quality and value, Kanu managed to land on the racks of department stores, sports shops and anywhere swimwear is sold— nationwide.
Recently, Kanu Surf has launched its brand store which now offers its complete line of swim trunks and swimwear. Just click the logo at the top of the product page to shop high quality Kanu Surf products for the whole family in one convenient location.
Kanu continues to innovate and bring great new styles consistently to stores across the country: swim trunks, boardshorts, rashguards, swim shirts. Styles that are functional and colorful— for competition, relaxation, a day at the beach— for everyone.
