YOU'RE AN EXPERT SURFER
Surfing is your passion, and you practice it regularly in warm waters. During your sessions, you paddle to the line up, ducking or turtling, depending on whether you're on a shortboard or longboard. You surf waves of over a meter and know how to maneuver. You often fall and are used to being shaken underwater. You want your swimsuit to stay in place every time you move, and not get in the way when you're paddling.
MORPHOLOGY
The CALYSTA 1-piece offers a perfect fit in the waves thanks to its underbust band and wide straps, while guaranteeing great freedom of movement when rowing thanks to its Y-shaped back. It adapts to all body shapes.
GIRL'S SWIMSUIT SIZE
At Decathlon, we design swimsuits for young surfers with their growth in mind, which is why we systematically associate stature with size, i.e. the child's height, since age alone does not guarantee the right size. In fact, two 10-year-old girls can have totally different heights, measurements, weights and morphologies. We also recommend an in-cabin fitting if possible.
OUR GIRLS' SWIMSUIT STATURES
Here's the link between age and stature on our swimwear labels:
8/9 years: from 133 to 142 cm
10/11 years: from 143 to 150 cm
12/13 years: from 151 to 160 cm
14/15 years: from 161 to 169 cm
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.
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.
