This article will walk you through the tips and tricks that will help you choose the right surfing swimsuit for your beach escapade. So get set and get wet!
What are Surfing Swimsuits?
Surfing swimsuits have a distinctive look. The design of these swimsuits is specifically for surfing. They came about in response to the needs of surfers who were frustrated with the way their bathing suits reacted to water. The problems ranged from riding up to bunching up and even falling off. This was especially true for women's swimwear.
Surfing swimsuits are crafted for fun, recreation, family time, and competitive swimming. Whether you are a swimmer or maybe you want to spend some quality time with your kids at the beach, you should get yourself a surfing swimsuit that is comfortable and stylish enough to wear on the shore or in the water.
Swimsuit Needs for Surfers to Consider
These are the finer details to help you make the best surfing swimsuit purchase decision:
Security: Surfing the oceans can be an exhilarating experience if you're cautious and wear the right attire to avoid injuries. If you want to enjoy deep-diving underwater without any hassles of keeping your bathing suit in place, then make sure that your swimwear is secure. This means that the lining should not be made from slippery material. Instead, choose a swimsuit with effective buckles or straps to firmly hold everything in place!
Flexibility: Before buying the first surfing swimwear that you see, it's best to try it on. You won't know if it's a suitable swimming suit for you unless you try it on and wear it in water. The ideal surfing swimsuit should feel comfortable when moving underwater—not too loose and not too tight.
Comfort on board: If you are a swimsuit addict, you already know how important it is to know your body shape so you can be active without any worries. This makes it especially crucial to pick out a bikini that works well with your body type. Otherwise, you may get stuck with something you don't like. Most importantly: what will you do with it?
Body protection: You've decided to buy a new surfing swimsuit for the beach, but you don't know which one will give the maximum protection and coverage for your body type. You need to get a suit that will cover your problem areas while looking attractive and well-fitting. When choosing a surfing swimsuit, your main concern should be how the suit looks and feels on you rather than the size number. The Julian Swim Onesie can provide the extra coverage you need if you are looking for additional protection.
Sun Protection: One of the most important things to consider for swimming and surfing is sun protection. If you will lie in the sun a lot and suntan, then a string bikini such as the Ally Bikini Bottom is perfect for you. On the other hand, if you are going to do a lot of surfing, then wearing boardshorts that provides a lot of support for your legs is ideal.
Features to consider
Durable: When you're out in the ocean, swimming, and riding waves for hours, you need a swimsuit that can keep up. Whether you're choosing a bikini or one-piece, go for durable swimsuits made with materials that won’t fade or prematurely give up its ghost after a few waves.
Eco-friendly fabric: Most surfers love the ocean and care about its preservation, so wearing an eco-friendly swimsuit is a way to show this love. JOLYN's surf fabric "Recycled Sea-Flex" is all made of recycled fishing nets and other recycled materials that would otherwise end up polluting the environment. We are keen on sustainability, which is why our swimwear products are less likely to end up in landfills.
Protection from elements: Coldwater, sun damage, and brutal waves are among the natural elements you need protection from when at the ocean. Surf conditions determine the most appropriate swimsuit and the elements you protect yourself from. For example, if you are surfing in cold water, a long-sleeve surf swimsuit is appropriate.
Fixed positioning for panels. JOLYN’s surf swimwear does not rely on ties for security or even flimsy buckles. The best surfing choices include one-piece swimsuits featuring built-in bras and bikini tops. The no-fall design makes them less likely to fall off when you tumble in the waves.
Design embellishment placements
The back is the most commonplace for embellishments since it is the first thing people see when they enter a room and are more exposed to the water. Depending on your preferences, you can choose between feminine designs like ruffles or straps and sporty designs like strap closures.
Hidden zippers: Hidden zippers are often found in the back of a swimsuit. The zippers are usually placed on the side or in the middle of the suit. They can secure a one-piece suit for added support and security or attach different straps for distinct looks. This style is especially good for women concerned about modesty and who want to avoid showing skin.
Drawstring: A drawstring at the waist provides an adjustable fit and allows you to customize your look and fit. It also lets you show off your figure by highlighting a small waist.
Why Choose a One Piece or a Bikini
Choosing between a one-piece bathing suit and a bikini can be very difficult and extremely stressful. There is nothing more eye-opening to a young woman than the moment she holds two bathing suits in her hands. She questions her self-image about her body and ultimately tries to decide if she should wear a one-piece bathing suit or a bikini.
One piece. A one-piece surf swimwear offers more coverage around the midsection, making it more secure. This material coverage offers more protection against elements. Finally, it has fewer moving parts, making the wearer feel safer and more secure. Henceforth, they can partake in all water activities.
Bikinis. Bikini's such as the Tomcat Bikini Top allows you to mix and match your swimsuit collection, giving you more style choices. The suit is made up of two pieces: the top and the bottom. Bikinis are less constricting as they allow your skin to breathe in and soak in all the sun you want. They also dry faster after a dip in the waters.
Choosing the perfect surfing swimwear is important. Wearing a bathing suit designed specifically for surfing can quite transform your surfing life. Follow this guide to learn all the tricks of choosing the best surfing swimwear that fits and looks right!
