YOU ARE 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
For those who want a simple, comfortable and feminine swimsuit, we've designed this 1-piece swimsuit with an open U-shaped back. A clever tightening at the back keeps the thin straps in place and ensures better support for your bust. Its round, well-mannered neckline with light support is ideal for small and medium-sized breasts. Medium thigh cut. Easy to put on.
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 in the 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.
REMOVAL OF PLASTIC STICKERS FROM OUR SWIMWEAR
From 2022 onwards, all women's swimwear designed at Decathlon will be sold without plastic stickers.
Let's make this responsibility a shared commitment by keeping
your underwear when you go into the cabin.
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.
