Wear What We Wear – Join the Adventure in Our Crew Hoodie
This is Tangaroa's Classic Tee, designed for the people who have watched every video, cheered every win and winced at every repair bill. Now you can wear the boat. Tangaroa's logo is on the chest and her full outline is across the back.
It's a soft, comfortable everyday tee, a quiet way to say you're part of the story and a good way to spot the others.
Every order helps keep the videos coming.
