As female surfers of all levels, we designed this swimsuit for intermediate surfers surfing waves under on e meter.
YOU ARE AN INTERMEDIATE SURFER
You regularly go surfing. During your sessions, you paddle out to the line-up, duck dive under the breaking waves if you are on a shortboard, or turtle roll if you are on a longboard, then surf waves of less than one metre. You often fall and are used to being shaken about underwater. Your swimsuit must meet the requirements of your practice and stay in place for each of your movements. We have designed a range for you that is suited to your regular practice and your body shape.
Body shape
As its name indicates, this EDEN minimiser swimsuit top is a very good solution for women who want to visually minimise the volume of their bust by spreading and covering it harmoniously. The feminine balconet bra with frames offers excellent support for medium-sized and large busts. The wide adjustable straps are comfortable and stable.You can switch between crossed and U-shaped backs thanks to the multi-position adjustment.
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.
Underwiring
Underwiring provides support around the breast for an optimal hold. Depending on the shape of the underwiring, we can create a selection of products that show varying levels of cleavage.
Side support
The side support provides a perfect fit whilst enhancing your bust.
Bust support
This swimsuit provides firm support for your bust and remains stable at all times, both in and out of the water. The swimsuit is available in several shapes, depending on the degree of support you need.The wide and adjustable straps of this swimsuit top make for comfort and well-being.
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 elastane contained in certain components used in the design of our swimsuits softens and relaxes in the water.
DO YOU WANT TO EXCHANGE YOUR SWIMSUIT?
Is the size or style not suitable for you? Would you like to exchange it at your Decathlon store? No problem, just be sure not to cut off the label of the swimsuit in case you want to exchange it.
