Shane Dorian
Big-Wave Legend • Kailua-Kona, Hawaii
Shane Dorian is a world-renowned surfer from Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, and one of the best big-wave surfers ever. He spent 11 years touring on the World Championship Tour as a professional surfer, winning countless awards. He is featured among a crew of young future surfing stars in the documentary film Momentum Generation, alongside his good friend, 11-time World Surfing Champion Kelly Slater, and other surfing legends.
In 2003 he shifted his focus to big waves and has been one of the best in the world at big-wave riding ever since. More recently, he earned the role of head coach for Team USA Surfing at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Shane is a Billabong ambassador, along with many other brands.

The Watch · Based on Series 1000
The Shane Dorian Signature
Shane's signature model was designed in collaboration with ProTek's owner and Swiss designer, with Shane involved in every design detail, and is based on ProTek's Series 1000. Shane loves the colour orange, so his watch features it prominently — orange rubber strap, orange crown grip and orange second-hand — with a second charcoal strap in the box.

Paige Alms
Big-Wave Pioneer • Maui
A pioneer for female big-wave surfers and two-time big-wave world champion, Paige Alms is one of the best women big-wave surfers in the world — self-taught and self-motivated. Born on the island of Victoria, B.C., Canada, she relocated to the warmer island of Maui when she was 9 years old, after traveling the entire breadth of Australia in a van with her mom. Ho‘okipa became her stomping grounds at age ten, and by the age of 15, Paige's first big-wave session had her instantly hooked.
She continues to push herself to ride the biggest waves possible alongside her peers, hoping to inspire other people to push their limits and live their dreams. Paige is a global Patagonia ambassador and was recently all over the news for the release of Patagonia's new inflation vest, created to save lives in big-wave events.

The Watch · Cool Blue Digi-Camo
The Paige Alms Signature
Paige loved the military digi-camo dial used on some ProTek USMC watches, so we changed it to a cool blue digi-camo dial matching the blue rubber crown, all of which ties to the blue of the ocean in Maui. Her signature is on the dial and her image riding a wave is on the caseback. It comes on a charcoal rubber strap with a second blue strap in the box.

Brian Keaulana
The Ultimate Waterman • Hawaiian Ocean Royalty
Brian Keaulana is the ultimate waterman. He created the lifeguard protocols used all over the world, and 11-time world surfing champion Kelly Slater has called him the most important person in ocean rescue. He is one of only three people to win both Hawaiian Waterman Awards — the Eddie Aikau Quiksilver award and the more prestigious Duke Kahanamoku award.
Brian also owns multiple companies, including iWATERMAN, which trains the US military and Special Forces all year long — including Navy SEALs — on expediting ocean rescues, and Hawaiian Water Patrol. He is Hollywood's go-to waterman for film and TV projects shot in Hawaii, dating back to Kevin Costner's 1995 film Waterworld, with credits including Hawaii Five-0, Lost and Magnum P.I. Bottom line: Brian is Hawaiian ocean royalty.
