Mas Girls' Surfing Shorty Swimsuit - Black

YOU ARE AN ADVANCED SURFER

Surfing is one of your favorite sports and you surf regularly in warm water. During your sessions, you paddle out to the line-up and either duck dive or turtle roll, depending on whether you are on a shortboard or a longboard. You surf waves bigger than 40" and know some maneuvers. You often wipe out and you are used to being thrown about underwater. You want your swimwear to stay in place with each of your movements and not get in your way when paddling.

Body shape

We created the Mas briefs so that young surfers can surf without worrying about losing their swimsuits in the waves. With its sporty look, these briefs provide ideal coverage and the drawstring gives a perfect fit in the waves.

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 at least 12 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.

GIRLS' SWIMSUIT SIZES

At Decathlon, we design swimsuits for young surfers by taking into account their growth. It is for this reason that we systematically associate the child's height with the size, as age is not sufficient to guarantee the correct size. 2 10-year-old girls can be of totally different height, weight and shape and have different measurements. We also recommend trying the swimsuits on if possible.

OUR GIRLS' SWIMSUIT SIZES

Here is the link between age and height on our swimsuit labels:

4 years: from 4'11" to 5'3"

16 years: from 3'5" to 3'9"

6 years: from 3'9" to 4'1"

8 years: from 4'1" to 4'3"

10 years: from 4'4" to 4'8"

12 years: from 4'8" to 4'11"

14 years: from 4'11" to 5'3"

16 years: from 5'3" to 5'7"

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 spandex 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.

OLAIAN, DECATHLON'S SURF BRAND

Based in Hendaye, in Southwest France, OLAIAN is Decathlon's new surfing and bodyboarding brand. In our offices at the water's edge, we can design a swimsuit and then on the same day test it directly in the sea to make sure it stays in place in the waves.

What is the OLAIAN brand?

Tribord surfing products have now become OLAIAN products, the new Decathlon brand dedicated to surfing, bodyboarding and skimboarding. Gradually, the branding of all our surfing products will be replaced. This is why your product may have a different logo from the one in the picture illustrating the product.

Score to compare the environmental impact of products

The environmental impact of the product is calculated over its entire lifecycle and with different indicators. An overall score (ABCDE) is attributed to help you easily identify the products with the best environmental performance by comparing products of the same type with one another (T-shirts, pants, backpacks, etc.).

Decathlon chose to apply this voluntary environmental labeling system.
