Overview
The DaFiN Pro Signature Kealopiko Moananuiākea Fins pair DaFiN's Pro Signature fin with artwork and storytelling from Hawaiian design company Kealopiko. The Moananuiākea design celebrates Oceania as an ocean of connection, reflecting the shared genealogy, traditions, and relationships linking island communities across the Pacific.
Moananuiākea—the vast Pacific Ocean—is described as a source of connection and sustenance, where fishing, paddling, navigating, and other ocean practices have supported Pacific peoples for generations. The design encourages wearers to remember those who came before them while continuing the enduring connections across this shared ocean.
Design Story
Moananuiākea, meaning Oceania, represents an ocean of connection. The waters of Kanaloa, god of the sea, reach the shores of more than 25,000 islands, many of them home to peoples connected through shared languages, stories, practices, and moʻokūʻauhau, or genealogy.
The design recognizes the ocean not only as a physical place, but also as a source of sustenance and cultural connection. Fishing, paddling, and navigation have been essential to Pacific communities for thousands of years. As the wearer enters the kai, or ocean, the design serves as a reminder of those who came before and the relationships that continue across Moananuiākea.
