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
Its ultra-clear back gives the ANA surf bra total freedom of movement! Ideal for surfers and stand-up paddlers, where shoulders and arms are constantly in demand. Its elasticated finish guarantees a perfect fit whatever the power and size of the wave. With no underwire, it can be worn under a neoprene wetsuit without discomfort, and adapts to all body shapes.
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.
BEAUTIFUL IN OUR SWIMSUITS
For 6 years, we've been working to support women's bodies with one obsession: making women feel beautiful in our swimwear. Breasts are not crushed, buttocks are not emphasized, cleavage is enhanced. Our mission is to ensure that every woman, whatever her body type or size, finds a swimsuit that suits her.
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.
OLAIANDECATHLON'S SURF BRAND
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 in a day, then test it directly in the sea to check how it holds up in the wave.
