Bikini’s

There is nothing like the freedom of surfing in a bikini! Especially if you are used to surfing in cold water in a wet suit. Unfortunately it can be difficult to find one that stays on in the surf. Here are a few of my favorite brands that I surf in all the time.

One pieces and Long Sleeve one pieces suits

Personally my favorite to surf in are the long sleeve one pieces. Great sun protection for neck and back, try to look for one that comes up higher on the chest and is completely closed in the back. Great for morning and afternoon session when sun is not as strong. It can be hard to find one the fits correctly so I would order a few different brands or try them on at your local surf shop. There are surf shops near both retreat locations that carry a wide variety of swimwear. You may find it is cheaper to buy at home though.

Rip Curl

Rash guards

I prefer loose fitting rash guards that zip up the front for walking to and from the beach because I can leave them unzipped until I get in the water.

Leggings

I mostly wear leggings for mid day surf sessions for sun protection and when the waves are big. Probably my least favorite surf outfit because I don’t like all the fabric on my skin but they work great for the sun.
