The story
Home of Kanvas by Katin, the canvas surf trunks Walter and Nancy Katin have been making for generations.
In the shop’s own words: “In 1954, Nancy and Walter Katin opened a small boat cover business called Kanvas by Katin in Surfside, California, just north of Huntington Beach. Walter, a tenaciously friendly man, both short and robust, always donned an iconic ensemble of a powder-blue jumpsuit zipped up to the neck with a captain’s hat.”
