Our Founder

Hi, I’m António, and I’m 23 years old. I started Kaiwalu in 2023 with a simple goal—to create high-quality products that truly stand out. Quality has always been the most important thing, and I’m proud to say that everything is made in Portugal with care and attention to detail. Kaiwalu is a small business, but it’s also a dream come true. None of this would be possible without your support and feedback, and I’m so grateful for each and every one of you. Thank you for being part of this journey!

Kaiwalu story

 

It all started in a family conversation. We were sharing our love for the sea , nature and the small things about life. Commenting the privilege of calling Portugal our home, a place with a stunning coastline adorned with breathtaking landscapes, and famous for the amazing weather.

It's in this remarkable setting that we've cultivated our shared passion for an active lifestyle and outdoor adventure.

Inspired by this and driven by our desire to share the joy of an active lifestyle, Kaiwalu was born. Kaiwalu wants to show the importance that continuous movement and a good connection with nature can have in our life, either short or long term, far away from all the mobile screens that surround us nowadays. Rooted in the belief that true freedom is found in small moments spent outside, moments spent with family, friends and loved ones, Kaiwalu seeks to inspire others to seize every opportunity to embrace an active lifestyle while appreciating the beauty that nature has to offer.

Crafted with care and attention to detail, Kaiwalu shorts are more than just apparel. Made from super lightweight and ultra-quick-drying materials, our shorts are designed to enhance your outdoor experience, allowing you to move freely and comfortably.

Keep moving with Kaiwalu.

Why Kaiwalu? One day we may tell you. ;)

Inspiration for our SS25 collection

Kaiwalu is a small business, founded by a 22-year-old college student with a dream. What started as a simple idea grew with passion and ambition, evolving step by step, much like life itself—full of highs, lows, and unexpected turns.

What truly matters is to keep moving forward, adapt, and find joy in every step of the journey. Happiness is a mindset, and even in tough times, there’s always a reason to smile. This collection is a reminder to embrace the process, stay resilient, and appreciate the little moments that make life meaningful.

Each boardshort in this collection carries the name of something symbolic—a reflection of the values that shape both life and our adventure with Kaiwalu. Ambition, Passion, Resilience, Consistency, Happiness, Positivity, Love, Creativity, Determination, Hope, and Hard Work.

More than just a collection, it’s a message: Chase your dreams, enjoy the ride, and never stop believing in the possibilities ahead. The most important thing is to always find joy.

Our primary objective was to ensure the fastest drying and lightest fabrics available. After months of rigorous searching, we've found the perfect solution.
