In the 1950s, co-founder Walter Katin sat at his sewing machine and made the very first pair of Katin trunks - the Waterman Trunk. Since its inception, the iconic silhouette remains in our trunk collection and pays homage to Walter Katin and his unparalleled craft. The Waterman Trunk has since led the way as America's first surf trunk and is now available in a longer length, exclusively online and at the original Katin Surf Shop.

My 65 year old husband

"My 65 year old husband loves them. They remind us of growing up on the California coast in the 1970’s !! Great quality, color and fit."

THESE ABSOLUTELY RULE.

"The search is over for me! FINALLY boardies that fit nicely right above the knee. All the other heritage brands I’ve tried are way too short. They also aren’t too baggy like the other longer styles I’ve tried. They are perfect. I’m making the switch to these and ordering a few more while they are available."

"When I was 16 we formed our own surf club (76 now). We had about 15 members and we ordered our baggies and jackets from Kanvis by katin. Bright yellow with a 4 inch black lateral stripe. Our katin lasted forever! Most were drafted in 1968 but we still hang together to this day. Yes everyone made it home. Cheers to all Bobby"
