Beginner surfers

At the beginner level, you are just learning to surf or surf only a few times a year. You ride small or broken waves in shallow waters where your feet touch the bottom. We offer a wide range of swimwear for beginners of all body types.

How to choose your rash guard (Part 1)

All our rash guards are UPF 50+, meaning they offer maximum sun protection. The sleeve lengths vary, and they’re suitable for different water sports. That said, our line was primarily designed to meet the specific needs of surfers. Choose your rash guard based on the duration of your surf session: 1 hour, 2 hours, or 3 hours.

How to choose a UV protection T-shirt (Part 2: )

1 hour: Occasional practice. Choose either a loose fit (easy to put on, comfortable when dry) or a tight fit (comfortable when wet). Look for a loop system so you can fasten the rash guard to your shorts. 2 hours: Regular practice. A rash guard with a drawstring and seamless underarm panels will improve fit and comfort in the water. 3 hours: Intensive practice. A style with added warmth will let you stay out longer.

UV protection

This Olaian rash guard blocks at least 98% of UVB rays and 95% of UVA rays (UPF 50+), guaranteeing effective sun protection. Ideal for water sports, they can be worn in or out of the water. The density of the weave filters out UV rays for long-lasting protection, even after washing. Chlorine-resistant.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF (ultraviolet protection factor) is an international standard that measures the proportion of UV rays a fabric lets through to your skin. A UPF of 50+ means that the fabric blocks at least 98% of UVB rays and 95% of UVA rays.

Reduced chafing

This rash guard reduces chafing against your surfboard or bodyboard. Its loose fit makes it easier to put on and more comfortable when dry. Choose the fitted 100 or 500 model if you prefer comfort when wet or plan to wear it under a wetsuit. Shown to reduce chafing during 1-hour sessions. If you plan to surf for longer, our 500 UV rash guard with seamless underarm panels is a better choice.

Support and stability in waves

This rash guard has a front loop that attaches to the cord of your swim shorts to keep it from riding up while you surf. Ideal for sessions of up to one hour. For longer sessions, we recommend our UV 500 top, which also has a drawstring at the hips to keep it in place. Keeps the clothing in place in waves and offers better protection.

Suitable for multiple water sports

Our rash guards meet the needs of the most demanding surfers. They’re compatible with many other water sports, including swimming, kitesurfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, water skiing, and stand-up paddle boarding.

Sun exposure advice

This top is UV-resistant, but it doesn’t provide total sun protection. Consider other factors like reflections (off water, sand, etc.), temperature, and time of day. Wearing this top is just one part of staying safe in the sun. You should also wear sunglasses and a hat or cap, apply sunscreen regularly, and drink plenty of water.
