Our Mission
Protecting you & the ocean.
At Ocean Storiez, we are on a journey to connect people with the ocean—and protect both along the way. Based in the heart of Hawaii, our apparel brand is more than just clothing. Each shirt we create carries the spirit of the ocean: resilient, powerful, and deeply connected to everyone who loves its shores and depths. We aim to provide sustainable, high-quality apparel that shields you from harmful UV rays, allowing you to experience the ocean safely and comfortably. Through our apparel, we hope to inspire every ocean lover to care for themselves and the sea that unites us.
Ocean Storiez began with a simple idea: every ocean journey is a story, and every story deserves to be shared. Whether you’re a surfer, a diver, a beach-goer, or someone who has felt the ocean’s power from the shore, your connection to the water is meaningful. Inspired by the Hawaiian islands and the diverse stories they hold, we created Ocean Storiez as a platform where anyone, anywhere, can share their unique experience of the ocean.
Our founders, locals deeply connected to Hawaii’s waters, wanted to create something that protected both people and the environment. They noticed a gap in the apparel world—clothing that not only looks and feels good but also contributes positively to ocean preservation. Today, Ocean Storiez is their way of helping people safely experience the beauty of the ocean, while fostering a community around shared stories and shared passion for marine conservation.
Our Purpose
Building a Community of Storytellers
While we’re just starting out, our vision is clear: we want to celebrate the rich tapestry of ocean experiences and create a platform for storytelling that resonates beyond the waves. Soon, Ocean Storiez will launch a podcast series that brings listeners closer to the ocean and its people. We’ll interview locals, visitors, marine experts, and ocean lovers from all walks of life to capture the stories that define Hawaii’s connection to the sea.
Until then, we invite everyone who has an ocean memory to share to join our growing community. Submit your story through our online form, and it will be featured on our site, where we hope it will inspire, uplift, and remind others of the importance of ocean preservation.

We are dedicated to making a positive impact, not just in words but in actions. Ocean Storiez is committed to sustainability at every stage of our process.
