Talanui
Pronounced tah-lah-NOO-ee.
Great Star. Great Story.
To us, Talanui means “Great Star. Great Story.” The star is the direction you choose. The story begins when you answer its call.
Before the world wakes, the ocean is already calling. A paddle breaks the silence. Wind fills a sail. A wave rises on the horizon. Every moment of preparation, every ounce of strength, balance, and endurance has led you here.
We’re building Talanui for those who chase the horizon, embrace the unknown, and live for the stories waiting beyond it.
Follow your star. Love your story.
Meet the Founders
Chris & Tiffany Paraoan
Co-Founders, Talanui
Different time zones. The same pull.
We’re Chris and Tiffany Paraoan, the founders of Talanui.
Our travels have taken us around the world, introducing us to new places, cultures, and perspectives. But no matter where we are or what time zone we’re in, the ocean always calls us.
For us, adventure is about more than how far you travel. It’s about stepping outside your routine, sharing experiences with the people you love, and staying curious about what’s beyond the next horizon. Wherever we go, we find ourselves drawn back to the water.
That shared connection inspired Talanui.
We’re building Talanui for people who feel that same pull, from surfers and sailors to paddlers, paddle yoga enthusiasts, and everyday explorers. You don’t have to cross an ocean to belong. Sometimes, the next adventure is waiting just beyond your own shoreline.
Today, we’re developing our first hydration + fuel drink solution. Our ambition is to build a brand that reflects the way we want to live: with purpose, curiosity, and room for adventure.
We’re at the beginning of this voyage, and we’d love to have you along.
Follow your star. Love your story.
