KaiAloha Supply Supports "The Last Dive" Film Premiere on Maui
At KaiAloha Supply, our love for the ocean goes far beyond the apparel we design— it is woven into everything we do. Having participated in numerous beach cleanups alongside Surfrider Maui over the years, we are always looking for ways to support their incredible work protecting our local coastlines and marine ecosystems.
That is why we were so honored to support the Maui premiere of The Last Dive on July 24th. Hosted through a collaboration between Surfrider Maui, led by Chapter Chair Maureen Brock, and the Four Seasons Resort Maui, the screening brought our local community together for an inspiring night dedicated to ocean stewardship.
A Packed House for Ocean Conservation

The Last Dive is a powerful documentary that follows a veteran whose life was transformed by a unique 19-year bond with a 22-foot oceanic manta ray named Willy. The film highlights the deep connection between humans and marine life while emphasizing the urgent need for ethical diving and the protection of gentle ocean giants.
Manta rays have always held a special place in our hearts, inspiring several of our own pieces— from intricate manta ray jewelry to our newest manta ray hoodie. Seeing a film bring these majestic creatures to the big screen made supporting this event even more meaningful for us.
To support the event and show our appreciation for the team bringing this story to Maui, KaiAloha Supply donated 10 of our Island Chain Cotton Blue Towels and 15 custom hats for the screening’s giveaways.

Mahalo for Protecting Our Waters
We want to send a huge mahalo to Surfrider Maui, Maureen Brock, the Four Seasons Resort Maui, and The Last Dive team for bringing this powerful film to our island. Seeing a room full of people united by a love for ocean conservation inspires us to keep pushing for a cleaner, brighter future for our waters.
Thank you to everyone in our community who attended, supported, and continues to care for our ocean every single day.
Until the next beach cleanup, keep spreading the Aloha!
