UPF standard

sleeve length

All our UV-resistant rash guards are UPF 50+, meaning they offer maximum sun protection. Choose your sleeve length based on your activity.
That said, our line is designed primarily 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 between a loose cut for ease of dressing and comfort when dry, or a fitted cut for comfort when wet. Get a loop system to fasten the rash guard to your shorts.
2 hours: regular practice. A rash guard with a drawstring and seamless underarm panels improves fit and comfort in the water.
3 hours: intensive practice. A model with added warmth lets you stay out longer. 

How to choose your rash guard (Part 2)

Ideal for aquatic sports, they can be worn in or out of the water. Chlorine-resistant. 

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 the fabric blocks at least 98% of UVB rays and 95% of UVA rays. 

What does UPF 50+ mean? 

This rash guard reduces chafing against your surfboard or bodyboard. The loose cut of this rash guard t-shirt makes it easier to put on and is 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. 

Anti-irritation 

You can attach this top to the drawstring on your boardshorts to prevent it from riding up while you surf. Ideal for sessions of up to an hour. For more than 1 hour, we recommend choosing the 500 UV top, which also has a drawstring at the hips for better stability. A rash guard can cause irritation on the lower abdomen if it rides up. 

Shorts attachment loop

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 tops 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

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.

Boardshort Length

Boardshorts is a term used to designate this type of swimwear used in the world of surfing and water sports.
Practical and comfortable, they are suitable for both men and women.
This type of swimwear was created in the 1950s for surfing. In more recent years, they have become a popular style of swim shorts.
The name comes from their use in aquatic board sports, like surfing.

What are boardshorts?

100 RANGE: occasional surfing and water sports. 
Short cut.
Elasticated waistband: Suitable for all body shapes.Drawstring for stability in the waves.
Inner mesh: protects from chafing.
Quick drying.
500/900 RANGE: regular surfing.
Various long cuts, protection from chafing.
Flat waistband: a more secure fit in the waves during duck dives and wipeouts. 
Stretch fabric for freedom of movement.

Boardshorts design

Size guide on product file.
The boardshorts in the 100 range are available in sizes S to XXL.
The 500 and 900 ranges are available in EU sizes 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48.
Your body shape can influence your choice of size.
We always recommend trying on swimwear before purchase. Fasten your shorts and gradually pull them downwards. If they are easy to pull down, it means they are too big and you could be in for a few surprises once you’re in the water surrounded by waves!

How to choose the right size of boardshorts

ELASTICATED WAISTBAND
Helps the boardshorts to fit different body shapes.
SEMI-ELASTICATED WAISTBAND
Provides a secure fit and adaptability for everyone.
FLAT WAISTBAND
Ensures the boardshorts stay in place in the waves during duck dives and wipeouts.
ANATOMIC DESIGN WAISTBAND
Combines the benefits of an elasticated waistband (adaptability to different body shapes) and a flat waistband (stability in the waves).

How to choose your boardshorts according to the waistband

Shorter cuts (between 14" and 17") give you freedom of movement and allow you to do a wide range of water sports, including surfing (for occasional sessions of less than 1 hour).
Longer cuts (between 17" and 20") reduce irritation from the board or wax on the thighs, and at the top of the knees when paddling. These cuts are therefore better suited to regular or even intensive surfing.

How to choose boardshorts according to length?

When surfing, whether it’s due to duck diving or a wipeout, it’s not easy to retrieve and reposition boardshorts that have fallen down while paddling at the same time...
Choosing the right waistband for surfing becomes essential in this case.
Go for an elasticated or semi-elasticated waistband with a drawstring that goes all the way round the waist. 
The Hendaia boardshorts feature a fully elasticated waistband with drawcord.

Wave resistance 
100 range

This has got to be the most important criterion when choosing swim shorts.
It’s not uncommon for a swimsuit or boardshorts to rub and irritate the skin.
Our boardshorts are designed, both in terms of the shapes offered and the assembly methods, to minimise chafing as much as possible during your time in the water. 
On the 100 range of our swim shorts, the inner mesh or briefs help to reduce the occurrence of this unpleasant phenomenon.

Reduced chafing 
100 range

In surfing, bodyboarding and bodysurfing, the legs are working hard, so boardshorts need to not restrict either bending/stretching or kicking.
A two-way (2 horizontal directions) or four-way (4 horizontal and vertical directions) stretch component contributes to this freedom of movement.
A short 15" cut encourages lower body movement and hold, particularly for surfing.

Freedom of movement 
100 range

It’s unpleasant to feel the sand and fabric of wet boardshorts sticking to your skin. To avoid this discomfort, opt for swimming shorts made from synthetic fibres. This type of fabric allows water to evacuate quickly, ensuring the swimsuit dries quickly and reducing the risk of irritation. So make sure you choose materials that are comfortable so you can get the most out of your water activities.

Our boardshorts are designed, both in terms of the shapes offered and the assembly methods, to minimize chafing as much as possible during your time in the water.

A two-way (2 horizontal directions) or four-way (4 horizontal and vertical directions) stretch component contributes to this freedom of movement.
A short cut (under 17 inches) also allows enhanced lower body movement and stability.

It is quite uncomfortable to feel the sand sticking to your boardshorts because they are still soaked with water, or worse still, to feel the fabric of the boardshorts sticking to your skin.
To avoid this and to maximise comfort when you wear your swimsuit wet, we recommend you choose swim shorts made from a synthetic fibre fabric component. Water will drain away faster and the swimsuit will dry quickly, keeping chafing at bay.

Fast drying
100 range

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

Pockets

These 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.

Inner briefs

During the 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.

With Case

Fogging is mainly due to the temperature difference between the body and the water.
As the body is warmer than the practice environment, fogging occurs on the inside of the lenses through evaporation.
As a result, every micro-drop of perspiration will stick to the inside of the goggles.

In fact, it’s a bit of luck: all these drops will eventually combine to create a film of water through which you can see clearly.

Why do my swimming goggles fog up?

The anti-fog treatment creates a microscopic film of water to allow clear vision, but its wear is accelerated by rubbing inside the lenses or over-exposure to chlorinated water. Taking care of the inside of your glasses is essential.

Over time, it is normal for the anti-fog effect to diminish. Briefly soaking the glasses in water may help in the short term, but can also accelerate the wear of the treatment. Our anti-fog marker reactivates the treatment!

The anti-fog treatment

Available in size S (children and small heads) and size L (large heads).

The watertightness of the glasses depends on the fit of the silicone skirts to the shape of the face. 
Before buying your glasses, we recommend that you carry out the "suction cup" test without the elastic band. Position the goggles over your eyes; if they hold on by themselves with a little suction, they will be watertight once in the water. This test can also identify areas of discomfort or annoyance on the face.

Size: how to choose your swimming goggles

These swimming goggles fit the morphology of your face without needing to be overly adjusted.

Goggles that are too tight can cause discomfort, leave marks, and let water seep in.

It is not necessary to press against the lenses with your hands, a light suction effect is usually enough for swimming sessions without water inlet holes.

The straps should sit 2-3 cm above your ears. This position will optimize the grip and comfort of the goggles. 

How to adjust your swimming goggles

Complies with standard: Q/BT 4734 -2023, all our swimming goggles protect against harmful UVA and UVB rays when used normally, regardless of the lens tint. 

Looking directly at the sun is dangerous and can lead to irreversible eye damage.

UV Protection

- Rinse your goggles (only if necessary) by simply dipping them in water
- Do not direct powerful jets of water at the inner surface of the lenses.
- Store the goggles in their case after each session to prevent damage to the lenses (on the inner surface to preserve the anti-fog coating and on the outer surface to prevent scratches)
- Don't expose them to temperatures of over 60°C

Finally, do not touch / rub the inside of your lenses
