YOU'RE A BEGINNER SURFER
You're new to surfing or only surf a few times a year, on vacation or on a surf trip. You stay where you are, in small waves or foam. You practice for the pleasure of being in the water and for the sensations it gives you. During your sessions, you often fall, but you fall in waves that are not very powerful. We've designed a wide range of swimsuits to suit your occasional practice and your morphology.
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
The LAURA bandeau, with its removable shells, is a streamlined design for surfers who don't need a lot of support in the waves. It's ideal for those with small breasts who want to keep their shoulders completely clear.
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.
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 go out to sea with surfers to test our swimwear in real-life conditions.
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.
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.
LINING
This top features a full-length lining to limit the effects of transparency when wet.
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.
OLAIANTHE SURF BRAND FROM DECATHLON
Based in Hendaye, in the south-west of France, OLAIAN is the new surf and bodyboard brand from Decathlon. In our "feet in the water" offices, we can design a swimsuit or wetsuit in a single day, then test it directly in the sea to see how it holds up in the wave.
