Designed to stay in place in very small waves (broken waves)
TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
YOU ARE A BEGINNER SURFER
You have just started surfing or only surf a few times a year, during your holidays or a surfing trip. You stay where you can touch the bottom, in very small waves or broken waves. You surf for the pleasure of being in the water and for the feeling you get from it. During your sessions, you often fall but you fall in waves that are not very powerful. We have designed a wide range of swimsuits for you to suit your occasional practice and your body type.
Body shape
Side-tie briefs, along with the sliding triangle top, make up the two essential elements of a bikini! They are a summer wardrobe must-have.
Thanks to the high-cut leg at the tops of the thighs, they make your legs look longer. Contrary to popular belief, all women can wear them, provided you are comfortable with your body and particularly your stomach, because they are rather low-rise bikini bottoms. The side ties can be tightened and they ensure the briefs stay in place in the water.
STAYS IN PLACE IN THE WAVES: THE TEST
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 will follow a test protocol in a pool at our design offices in Hendaye. 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.
Lining
These bikini briefs are fully lined, making the swimsuit less see-through when wet.
Adjustable
You can easily adjust the briefs to fit using the knotted side ties.
Dry sizing and wet sizing
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: you should feel supported. The spandex contained in certain components used in the design of our swimsuits softens and relaxes in the water.
Score to compare the environmental impact of products
The environmental impact of the product is calculated over its entire life cycle and with various indicators. An overall score (ABCDE) is attributed to help you easily identify the products with the best environmental performance by comparing products of the same type with one another (T-shirts, pants, backpacks, etc.).
Decathlon chose to apply this voluntary environmental labelling scheme.
