Our Tribal Print shorts are our homage to of the Tao people, a small tribe on Taiwans Orchid Island who used canoes to take in fish from the sea. The Tao are truly in harmony with nature, so we made the pattern a canoe in their honor. The colors of the pattern are symbolic of sunrises and sunsets, or dawn patrol and sunset sessions. The shorts themselves are our classic four-way stretch, comfortable and durable, to be worn wherever you find yourself on this good Earth.
