You regularly go surfing. During your sessions, you paddle out to the lineup, duck-dive under the breaking waves if you are on a shortboard or turtle-roll if you are on a longboard, then surf waves of less than 40”. You often fall and are used to being shaken about underwater. Your swimsuit must meet the requirements of your activity and stay in place for each of your movements. We have designed a range for you that is suited to regular activity and your body shape.

Whether you be a surfer or enjoy bathing in the sea, you don’t want to lose your swimsuit! This is why we test all our swimsuits in the waves. Each model is designed for surfing and perfectly suits other water sports: stand-up paddleboarding, sailing, kite surfing, bathing, etc.

Accustomed to surfing in waves of less than 40”, the intermediate surfer takes a lot of risks as she dares to progress. It is therefore essential that she not waste time or attention readjusting her swimsuit! That's why we designed our high-waisted Nora briefs. Its wide waistband with a body-shaping mesh provides a very good hold in the waves, as tested by our panel of intermediate surfers. With a medium elegant cut.

We design swimsuits that promise to stay in place in the waves. To test them, we use a panel of female surfers with different body shapes who follow a test protocol in a pool at our design offices in Hendaye, southwest France. This protocol aims to reproduce the sensations experienced by surfers when being thrown around by a wave. If this test is conclusive, we go surfing in the sea to test our swimwear in real conditions.

For 6 years, we have been working to show women's bodies with 1 goal: to make women feel beautiful in our swimwear. The chest is not crushed, the rear is not highlighted, and the cleavage is enhanced. Our mission is to ensure that every woman, whatever her body type or size, finds a swimsuit that suits her.

From 2022, all women's swimsuits designed by Decathlon will be sold without plastic hygiene stickers. This responsible decision was made to help protect our planet and reduce plastic use, saving 584 miles of plastic every year! Please do your part by always keeping your underwear on in our changing rooms.

To ensure a perfect fit in the water, it is important to choose the right size while you are dry because once they are in the water, swimsuits become looser. We therefore recommend you buy the correct size. The swimsuit needs to fit snugly against your body in the fitting room, and you should feel supported. The spandex content in certain materials used in the design of our swimsuits softens and relaxes in the water.

Is the size or style not suitable for you? Would you like to exchange it at your Decathlon store? No problem, just be sure not to cut off the label of the swimsuit in case you want to exchange it.

Based in Hendaye, in Southwest France, Olaian is Decathlon's new surfing and bodyboarding brand. In our offices at the water's edge, we can design a swimsuit and then on the same day test it directly in the sea to make sure it stays in place in the waves.

This product has been tested in use in Hendaye and has been subjected to numerous laboratory tests to guarantee the quality of use for which it was designed: tests on the fabric's stretch and stability, colorfastness when subject to friction, washing, sea water, chlorinated water, and exposure to light, and the product's overall performance after several washes.
