MORPHOLOGY
These boardshorts have been designed for the young surfer who wants to have fun and discover the waves. Thanks to its waist belt, it holds well in the waves and adapts well 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
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.
WAVE HOLDING TEST
We design swimsuits whose promise is to hold up in the wave. To evaluate them, we call on a panel of at least 12 surfers of 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 by a wave. If the test is conclusive, we head out to the sea to test our swimsuits on the water.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO EXCHANGE YOUR SWIMSUIT?
The size or model doesn't suit you? Would you like to make an exchange in your Decathlon store? No problem, just make sure you don't cut the swimsuit label 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 in a day, then test it directly in the sea to check how it holds up in the wave.
WHAT IS THE OLAIAN BRAND?
Surf products from Tribord become OLAIAN, the new Decathlon brand dedicated to surf, bodyboard & skimboard. Gradually, the markings on all our surf products will be replaced. Therefore, your product may have a different logo than the one shown on the product illustration.
