YOU'RE AN EXPERT SURFER
Surfing is your favorite sport. During your sessions, you paddle to the line up, passing the bar like a duck if you're on a shortboard, or like a turtle if you're on a longboard. You show your commitment in powerful waves of over a metre. Your swimsuit has to stay in place with every move, no matter how powerful the wave. We've designed a range of swimsuits to suit your intensive use and your body type.
ACTIVE AT THE BEACH!
Whether you're a surfer or enjoying a swim in the sea, you don't want to lose your swimsuit! That's why we test all our swimwear in the waves. Each model is designed for surfing, but is also suitable for other water sports: stand-up paddling, windsurfing, kite surfing, swimming and more.
MORPHOLOGY
Totally adapted to surfing and bodyboarding, the CARLA bra offers excellent coverage and, thanks to its wide elastic under the chest, excellent hold in even the biggest waves. The shoulders are unobstructed when paddling, and we've added a back zip to make them easier to put on and take off, giving them a surfing identity. The shells are removable.
DECATHLON INNOVATION: This bra has hydrophobic shells!
The CARLA bra features totally hydrophobic shells, which thanks to their texture and small holes, do not retain water at all. This shell has been designed by our teams to optimize the swimsuit's hold in the wave.
These shells add curves and hide the tip of the breast when the swimsuit is wet. They are removable and optimize drying.
WHAT IS A HULL?
The shell is a solution integrated into the swimsuit top that enhances the shape of the bust and creates a well-rounded breast without seam demarcation or irritation, unlike sewn-in foam. Olaian has thought of you and your comfort by favoring the use of shells in most of its models. The shell can be removable, allowing you to go up or down half a size.
WAVE HOLDING TEST
We design swimsuits whose promise is to hold up in the wave. To evaluate them, we call on a panel of surfers with different morphologies to follow a pool test protocol in our design offices in Hendaye. The aim of this protocol is to reproduce the sensations experienced by the surfer when she is tossed about by a wave. If the test is conclusive, we head out to sea to test our swimwear in real-life conditions.
COMFORTABLE IN OUR SWIMSUITS
We strive to help women feel comfortable in our swimwear. Breasts aren't crushed, buttocks aren't marked, and coverage levels vary. Our mission is to ensure that every woman finds a swimsuit that suits her, whatever her body type or size.
DRY CUTTING AND WET CUTTING
To ensure a perfect fit in the water, we have to adjust our models when dry, because once in the water, swimwear relaxes. We therefore advise you to choose the right size. The swimsuit must fit snugly on your body in the cabin, so you feel supported. The elastane contained in some of the components used in our swimsuits softens and relaxes in the water.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO EXCHANGE YOUR SWIMSUIT?
The size or model doesn't suit you? Would you like to make an exchange at your local Decathlon store? No problem, just make sure you don't cut the label off the swimsuit in case you want to exchange it.
