Da FiN Swimfins –Zak Noyle Signature Wawamalu

The Sandy Beach Surf Report was started on Instagram in 2020 as a way to keep the community connected and informed about the conditions at Wwmalu (Sandy Beach). Its founder, Tyler Watanabe, has been surfing the dangerous and beautiful shoreline for more than 25 years. His reports and often comical videos covering the surf and unique character of Wwmalu quickly grew his following and now reaches an international audience. To Tyler, his followers, and the many people who enjoy Wwmalu, it is more than just a beach it is a lifestyle.

To give back to the place and community that has grown the Sandy Beach Surf Report, Zak Noyle, and DaFin Hawaii, we have teamed up to gift a portion of these limited edition fins to the lifeguards, locals and groms who are the heart of Wwmalu.

To highlight the everyday talent in front of and behind the lens at Wwmalu, photos for this box design were selected from submissions to our Sandy Beach photo contest.

• Lightweight-For such a powerful fin, DAFINis one of the lightest surf fins on the market. Less weight equals less strain.
• Extremely powerful– Revolutionary design creatingmaximum acceleration of the water flowing over the fin surface resulting in more thrust per kick.
