Main Material

All our UV-resistant T-shirts are UPF 50+, meaning they offer maximum sun protection.  Choose your sleeve length based on your activity.
That said, our line was primarily designed to meet the specific needs of surfers.

Choose your T-shirt 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 a UV protection T-shirt (Part 2: )

Ideal for water 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 that 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. 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.

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 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.

Support and stability in waves

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 T-shirts 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.

Water-Repellent

It’s important to remember that no swimming cap is 100% waterproof!
Water can seep underneath, especially around the ears. This cap protects from splashing.

How waterproof is a swimming cap?

Fabric composition:
Made of a swimsuit-type fabric that is easy to get on/off without pulling at your hair. Finishing seams around the head to ensure the cap remains in place.

Coated fabric:
A comfortable mesh cap. It is coated with a layer of silicone that reduces leaks and elasticity, providing a close fit.

Silicone: 
Silicone is less comfortable but highly elastic to guarantee a close fit and prevent water from leaking into the cap.

How to choose swimming cap material 

There are several alternatives to standard swimming caps to suit everyone’s needs:

- brush caps: made of a highly stretch mesh.
- waffle stitch caps: made of latex, can be put on without pulling at your hair.
- volume or extra volume caps: the shape of these silicone caps provides more room for full hair.

- moulded or shell swimming caps: these silicone caps are made for competitive swimming.

- neoprene caps: perfect for open-water swimming.

Are there any other types of swimming caps?

The silicone cap is very stretchy and resistant to stretching, but it is sensitive to snags. So be careful when putting it on, especially with nails and barrettes.

If the cap catches on your hair, dust with talcum powder before putting it on!

Tightening Type

With Case

Goggles can fog up for several factors: a difference in temperature between the body and the water, humidity levels, etc. Wear due to friction is one of the main causes.

If your goggles fog up, dip your lenses in the water and a protective film will reform.
It is normal for the performance of the anti-fog coating to drop over time.

We provide a special marker to reactivate the anti-fog treatment and help your goggles last longer.

Reduce fogging

The goggles’ watertightness depends on how well they fit the shape of your face. 

Before purchasing, we recommend doing a suction test without the strap.
If the goggles stay on your face with only slight suction, they will be watertight during your swim. This also enables you to spot any areas of discomfort or annoyance when the model is on the face.

This model is adjustable and only available in one size.

Sizes

These swimming goggles fit the shape of your face and don’t need to be over-tightened.

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

You don’t need to press against the lenses with your hands. A light suction effect is all you should need to keep water out.

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

Adjusting the fit

Care advice: 
- Rinse your goggles as needed by dipping them in the water
- Keep water jets away from the inside surface of the lenses
- Store in their case between sessions to avoid scratches and to protect the anti-fog treatment
- Avoid exposing the goggles to temperatures over 60°C
- Do not touch or wipe the inside of the lenses

Goggle care

The colour of your lenses should suit your swimming location and its lighting.

If you swim outdoors or in a pool with harsh lighting, choose goggles with smoked lenses to limit glare. 

If you’re outdoors in the evening or the pool is dark, use clear lenses.

This model is only available with clear lenses.

Lens tint

Complies with standard QB/T 4734-2023; all Nabaiji 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.
