BETTY 500 BLUE TRIANGLE GIRL'S SURF SWIMSUIT TOP

Surfing is your passion sport and you practice it very regularly in warm waters. During the sessions, you paddle to the line up, doing the duck or the turtle, it all depends on whether you are on a shortboard or a longboard. You surf waves of more than one meter and you know how to do manoeuvres. You fall often and are used to being tossed about underwater. You want your swimsuit to stay in place with each of your movements and that it doesn't bother you when paddling.

We created the BAHA bra to allow young surfers to surf without worrying about losing their jersey in the waves. With its crossed back and wide elastic under the chest, the jersey has been designed to offer freedom of movement when paddling.

We design swimsuits whose promise is to hold up in the waves. To evaluate them, we call on a panel of surfers with different morphologies who will follow a test protocol in the pool, in our design offices in Hendaye. This protocol aims to reproduce the sensations experienced by the surfer when she is stirred by a wave. If this test is conclusive, we go surfing at sea, testing our swimsuits in real conditions.

A shell is a piece of foam that is inserted into the swimsuit. To leave our customers free to decide whether to keep them on or take them off, all our shells are removable from the tops of the swimsuits. add this shell, or not. The sole purpose of these shells is to protect the modesty of young teenage girls. They allow you to hide the nipples when the swimsuit is wet. It is not a PAD form amplifier.

At Decathlon, we design swimsuits for young surfers taking into account their growth, which is why we systematically associate a stature with the size, i.e. the size of the child, because age is not enough to guarantee the right size. Indeed, two 10-year-old girls can have totally different sizes, measurements, weights and morphologies. We also recommend a fitting in the cabin if possible.

Here is the link between age and stature visible on the labels of our swimsuits:4/5 years: from 105 to 114 cm5/6 years: from 115 to 124 cm7/8 years: from 125 to 132 cm8/9 years: from 133 to 142 cm10/11 years: from 143 to 150 cm12/13 years: from 151 to 160 cm14/15 years: from 161 to 169 cm

To ensure perfect fit in the water, we have to fit our models dry because once in the water, the swimsuits stretch. We therefore advise you to take the right size. The swimsuit must fit snugly on your body in the cabin, you must feel supported. The elastane contained in certain components used in the design of our swimsuits softens and relaxes in the water.

The size or model does not suit you? would you like to make an exchange in your Decathlon store? No problem, just be careful not to cut the swimsuit tag in case you want to exchange it.

Based in Hendaye, in the southwest of France, OLAIAN is Decathlon's new surf and bodyboard brand. In our offices “feet in the water” we can design a swimsuit in one day, then test it directly at sea to check how well it holds up in the waves.

The environmental impacts of the product are calculated over its entire life cycle and with different indicators. An overall ABCDE score is produced to help you easily identify the products with the best environmental performance by comparing products of the same type with each other (T-shirts, trousers, backpacks, etc.). Decathlon is a player volunteer for this environmental labeling process. For more information: http://sustainability.decathlon.com/
