Main Material

All our UV-resistant 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 your rash guard (Part 1)

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.

How to choose your rash guard (Part 2)  

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, it can be worn in or out of the water. 
The shirt’s dense fibres filter out UV rays for long-lasting protection, even after washing.

UV protection even when wet.

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.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

This UV-resistant rash guard helps minimize irritation due to contact with your surfboard or bodyboard. It can also be worn under a wetsuit to limit chafing around the neck and armpits. Tests show it reduces chafing from paddling movements during 1-hour sessions. If you plan to surf for more than an hour, our 500 UV rash guard with seamless underarm panels is a better choice.

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 an hour. For longer sessions, we recommend our UV 500 rash guard, which also has a drawstring at the hips to keep it in place. A rash guard can cause irritation on the lower abdomen if it rides up.

Support system

This rash guard is recommended for use in water temperatures of 22°C and up. Air temperature may affect this recommendation. 
Our thermal models are made of fleece, neoprene, or both. We recommend choosing a model made with neoprene if you’ll be out in conditions where the wind exceeds 15 km/h.

Warmth and wind

Our UV 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.

Suitable for multiple water sports

Young skin is very sensitive to the sun, particularly before age 3. UV rays are two to three times more harmful to children than to adults, so it’s essential that kids wear proper sun protection.

Kids and UV rays

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.

Boardshorts are swimming shorts. They were created in the 1950s for surfing.
Over the years, they have become a popular style of swimsuit.
The name comes from their use in aquatic board sports, like surfing. 
They were developed primarily to limit chafing against the board.

For sessions under 1 hour
It’s important to choose boardshorts that you don’t constantly have to adjust while you’re out on the water. Shorter styles are recommended for bodyboarding to ensure greater range of motion. Quick-drying material is also key to prevent sand from sticking.

How to choose your boardshorts

  
Our 100 boardshorts are available in S, M, L, XL, and XXL.
   
We recommend choosing a shorter pair if you’re widest in the torso and legs, 
while a longer style is more suitable if you have a slender build.

It isn’t easy to adjust your boardshorts while you’re surfing, so it’s essential to choose the right waistband. Look for an elastic or semi-elastic waistband with a drawstring or a flat design for better hold.

Wave resistance

     Our boardshorts are designed specifically to limit chafing, a common issue for surfers.


In aquatic board sports like surfing, it’s particularly important to have maximum range of motion,
so your boardshorts should have an ample amount of stretch.

Waterlogged boardshorts can easily become caked with sand. Water repellent shorts are more quick drying.

Boardshorts length comes down to personal preference. Shorter styles, for example, provide greater freedom of movement. The average size L is 16 inches long (41 cm).

These boardshorts have three pockets, including two on the sides. The pockets mesh-lined to drain water and sand more quickly.

Pockets

Our 100 standard boardshorts feature an anatomic semi-elastic waistband that keeps them securely in place even when you fall into the waves.

Waistband

These boardshorts feature built-in stretch-mesh briefs for an even better fit and reduced chafing.

In summer, when the weather’s hot but the water’s cool, surfers tend to stay out on the water longer without changing their equipment. This increases the risk of sunburn.
Did you know? The water’s surface reflects 10%–15% of UV rays, leaving 40%–95% to penetrate to a depth of up to 25 cm. This is why pairing boardshorts with sun protection (e.g., UV top) is becoming essential for surfing in warm weather.
