Pūhoro Art by Alex McLeod - Alex is a Māori artist specialising in wood carving, tā moko, and cultural design. Through Ariki Inc, he creates works that honour tradition while connecting it to contemporary expression. This design represents swift movement, speed and agility. This motif represents the design created in the water by the paddle stroke from the catch through to the exit.


Go the distance in the V4 Ocean Racing PFD – Tai Pūhoro Design. Designed for everything from casual paddles to race day, this ISO-certified life jacket blends a streamlined, low-profile fit with large dual front storage, hydration-ready pockets, and a printed Pūhoro design that carries real cultural storytelling.

A collaboration that brings together technical innovation and respect for the ocean and its heritage.
