About Us

Whale Tails Chips was founded as a result of our love and constant connection with the ocean.

Growing up in Southern California, it is easy to spend endless hours at the beach and to become avid surfers. A surfing adventure to the pristine Hawaiian Islands introduced us to their legendary gourmet “Red Alaea Hawaiian Sea Salt” being used on roasted corn at a local gathering. In selecting a flavor for our original flavor of Whale Tails Chips, we knew that we wanted to use Alaea. It is sun dried, lower in sodium, high in trace minerals and has a great Earthy flavor.

We have been asked “why a whale tail shape for your chip?” To that question we answer “Nature has always offered the most functional designs. The same shape that allows whales, weighing over a ton, to move through the water is also a natural shape for loading up a couple of scoops of grilled pineapple / mango salsa or perhaps a mound of fresh guacamole.”

In addition to all natural ingredients our unique shape for an organic tortilla chip is a reminder that Whale Tails Chips is actively involved in worldwide marine conservation and educational programs. Retailers and consumers seem to agree that, even in the chip aisle of a grocery store, we all have an opportunity to make a meaningful choice toward a healthier planet.
