In the surf, on the lake, or up a creek. The Kahoâolawe board short is the sportiest item in our AKA KOA collection of âSerious Leisureâ gear. Designed to be durable and comfortable in the water and fast drying when you get out, these shorts offer athletic freedom of movement and the security that they will stay on in the roughest water conditions.
To give back to the Recon community in an homage to Magpulâs history, we designed the AKA KOA line of apparel. AKA KOA is the nickname given to Alpha Company 3rd Recon Bn (USMC Hawaii) by its Commanding Officer, Kent Bradford, in the late 1980s. Loosely translated, it means âShadow Warriorâ in Hawaiian. While it was intended to symbolize the military capability of the unit, it fast became the call sign for Alpha Companyâs other skill set, making the most of the Hawaiian island lifestyle during the off hours.
