Travel Essentials: VEIA Bags & Solarez Repair Kits
Holiday travel season is here, and protecting your boards during transit is non-negotiable. Whether you're heading to Indo, Mexico, or just hopping between islands, the right gear makes all the difference between arriving ready to surf and dealing with damaged equipment. This week we restocked the VEIA John John Florence board bags and Solarez repair kits — the essentials every traveling surfer needs in their quiver.
VEIA JJF 3/2 Convertible Travel Coffin Bag
Developed with 3x World Champion and Olympic athlete John John Florence, the JJF 3/2 Convertible Travel Bag keeps 2 to 3 surfboards safe and secured while hiding the bottom (3rd) board to save you extra airline fees.

Florence Marine X Windshield 2.0 Rashguards
The Windshield 2.0 rashguard has become the go-to piece of gear for many surfers on the North Shore of Oahu — and for good reason. Covered in an innovative coated material, it blocks all wind and absorbs zero water.
Key Features
The Windshield 2.0 delivers serious protection and comfort with UPF 100+ body rating blocking harmful sun rays, plus a UPF 50+ hood that keeps UV rays out of your eyes and off your head. The 4-way super stretch material moves with you, while raglan sleeves improve fit and flexibility.
Flatlock stitching sits low profile to prevent chafing, and the boardshort tie loop inside the waistband locks things down in turbulent water. The 'Equipment Modern' reflective heat transfer adds visibility in low light conditions.
Available in both hooded and long sleeve versions, in Light Sea Blue and Black.
Best For: Dawn patrol sessions, windy conditions, and extended time in the water.

Outerknown: Blanket Shirts & Hightide Sweaters
Outerknown continues to set the standard for sustainable surf apparel. Founded by Kelly Slater and designer John Moore, the brand has built a reputation for quality pieces that feel as good as they look — without compromising on environmental responsibility. This week we restocked two of their most beloved pieces — the Blanket Shirt and the Hightide Crew Sweater. Both make excellent holiday gifts for the surfer who appreciates quality craftsmanship.
Blanket Shirt
Often imitated, never duplicated — the Outerknown Blanket Shirt delivers exceptional comfort that few can rival. While many have tried to recreate it, none have captured the same level of warmth and softness that make this piece so special. It's a go-to layer you'll appreciate every time you put it on, no matter the season.
Built to last and designed for everyday wear, the Blanket Shirt is crafted from premium organic cotton twill with a soft, elevated hand feel. The shirt is finished with natural corozo buttons made from tagua palm nuts, and practical chest pockets with button flap closures add a functional touch.
By choosing this shirt, you're supporting responsible materials and farming practices while investing in long-lasting comfort.
Available in Copper Spotlight Plaid and Marine Felize Plaid.

Hightide Crew Sweater
An Outerknown signature since the beginning, the Hightide Crew Sweater is as soft as your favorite towel. Made from a unique blend of organic cotton and recycled polyester, it delivers an extraordinarily plush feel unlike any other.
Cut from terry toweling — one of their favorite fabrics — it feels more like a soft beach towel than a sweater. A cozy brushed interior puts the feel-good icing on the cake. Look for the signature OK logo at the hem.
Available in Oatmeal Heather and Pitch Black.

Firewire Fins: Endorfins, Velox & Tomo Max Keel
Firewire fins represent the cutting edge of fin technology, developed alongside world champions and legendary shapers. Kelly Slater has been instrumental in the Endorfins development, testing prototypes at spots like Barra and Trestles before letting the public ride the same equipment. Daniel 'Tomo' Thomson brings his innovative design philosophy to the Velox and Max Keel templates. This week we restocked four essential sets that cover everything from all-round performance to specialized twin setups.
5-Fin Endorfins KSR (Kelly Slater Raked)
This is Kelly Slater's raked template designed to maximize hold and generate drive. It's the complimentary opposite to the KS1 pivot template — Kelly prefers to ride Large in smaller waves and Medium in bigger waves.
The rake refers to how far back the tip of the fin reaches beyond the base, translating into more drive and wider, more drawn-out turns. Designed for wide arcs on the shoulder and reliable hold down-the-line. Pairs exceptionally well with the Firewire Spaceship.
Thruster Endorfins KS1
Kelly Slater combined the templates of the K2.1 and K3 to create the perfect all-round fin that works on any type of board in any conditions — from pumping waves to small, groveler conditions.
The Endorfins are super responsive and lightweight (they even float!) with a foam core and carbon lay-up that tapers to the tip, providing added flex and snap through turns. The fins come with a pixelated, matte-style "shark skin" texture that helps sheen water away while the board is flying down the line.
Available in both FCS and Futures compatible versions.
Firewire Velox Fin Set
The Velox Fin Set is the fin set for every Firewire shape — the performance baseline designed by Rob Machado, Dan Mann, and Daniel 'Tomo' Thomson for maximum fun in all models.
Built for drive down the line and controlled turns, the Velox excels in open faces and long lines, in waves knee-high to well-overhead. The template has a beveled edge in the leading foil supporting immediate disruption of water flow and an elevated sense of stability in all maneuvers.
With a core engineered from high density polymer overlayed with carbon veils, it delivers an unmatched mix of flex and strength for controlled spring and rebound in turns. An extremely light set of fins that adds minimal weight to all shapes.
Tomo Max Keel Fin
The Tomo Max Keel is Daniel Thomson's twin template that hits the performance sweet spot between Twin and Keel templates. It offers the trim of a keel with the response of a twin — tight radius turns in the trough and clean control across the face.
This template has more surface area than any Twin fin and less surface area than any Keel fin. A groundbreaking hybrid of traditional and performance templates, creating an inventive blend of trim, speed, control, and style.
Best For: Fish, retro shapes, and anyone looking for a unique twin feel.
VEIA x Florence Deckpads - Hawaii Exclusive Editions
The VEIA x Florence Edition JJF Pro collection is a limited series in collaboration with Florence Marine X, featuring the now-ubiquitous 'Florence Camo' pattern. These HI Edition traction pads are available only in select Hawaii retailers and through our site.
JJF Squash Tail Pro - HI Edition Camo & Hawaii Night
Designed with John's Pyzel squash-tailed surfboards in mind, the JJF Squash Tail Pro Traction Pad was built to comfortably fit any squash tail surfboard with ease. It remains lightweight while harnessing power and grip through a PowerPocket arch bar, VEIA venting and weight reduction cutouts, and a 45-degree to vertical kick pad.
The Hawaii Night colorway is inspired by co-founder John John Florence's O'ahu roots and where it all started for VEIA Supplies.
JJF Round Tail Pro - HI Edition Camo
Designed with John's Pyzel Ghost model in mind, the Round Tail Pro is made to fit comfortably on round tail surfboards. This three-piece design features SuperSOFT Eco EVA foam and a 45-to-flat kick pad for maximum performance.
