Just as there are different types and styles of surfing, from the chilled longboard to the fast and agile shortboard, every surfer has different requirements for her surf bikini. Our body-hugging cuts adapt to and support the individual female body, whether you like it more sporty or more fashionable. Oy's surf bikinis are available in different styles, with or without adjustable straps. You can combine our numerous surf bikini tops and bikini bottoms, in the same color or mixed. If you like more coverage and the ultimate sporty look, our surf swimsuits or surf suits could be the best choice for you. The ultimate all-round product is the surf leggings, which protect your legs from harmful UVA rays in the water and which you can easily keep on for your stretch and yoga session out of the water.

What makes the perfect surf bikini?

There are many factors that define why a bikini is perfect for surfing. The most important features are fit and quality of workmanship, which we have the highest standards for at Oy Surf Bikini.

1. A surf bikini fits perfectly and doesn't slip
2. A bikini for surfing is stable and durable
3. In a surf bikini you have maximum freedom of movement
4. You feel comfortable in a bikini for surfing
5. A surf bikini should be sustainable

1. A surf bikini fits perfectly and doesn't slip

Most normal bikinis are not designed for sport. But ours is designed with the sporty aspect in mind right from the start and we know exactly what is important when surfing. So that you can concentrate completely on the moment and the waves when surfing, you need a bikini that you can rely on. That's why our surf bikinis are cut in such a way that they will never slip.

2. A bikini for surfing is stable and durable

Things can get pretty wild out in the surf. Sometimes you get washed away by a wave, thrown onto the beach or pushed to the bottom of the sea. Of course, a bikini for surfing has to be able to handle that. We only use the highest quality and best materials available on the market for our surf bikinis. We also make sure that the details are sewn together robustly.

3. In a surf bikini you have maximum freedom of movement

Whether you're paddling, surfing or warming up for the upcoming surf session, you make extreme movements, especially with your arms. This is exactly what we take into account with our bikinis. Our surf bikini tops have straps that cross at the back so that your shoulder blades aren't blocked. Our surf bikinis also offer maximum freedom of movement, as they stay in place with the perfect hold and you can feel completely free and safe.

4. You feel comfortable in a bikini for surfing

Every body has its own characteristics and every person has their own preferences. That's why we made sure that our selection of bikinis for surfing had a solution for everyone's needs. Some of the bikinis are cut rather tight, others offer more fabric and cover more. In all cases, however, we paid particular attention to ensuring that the bikini stays in place and fully supports you while surfing. You don't have to worry about the bikini slipping and can concentrate fully on surfing.

5. A surf bikini must be sustainable

The playground of surfing, our oceans, are a sensitive ecosystem and should be particularly protected. That's why sustainability is particularly important when making a surf bikini. We make sure that we only use recycled materials for our bikinis. You can find out what else is important below in the sustainability section, or on our sustainability page, where we show our measures to have as little impact on nature as possible.

The bikini for surfing — a two-piece

A complete surf bikini always consists of two pieces: a surf bikini top and surf bikini bottoms. Both pieces have unique features that make them the perfect bikini for surfing.

Surf Bikini Tops

Our bikini tops for surfing all have a crossed strap construction and offer your shoulder blades maximum freedom of movement. The lace-up straps allow the bikini top to be tightened individually, which supports the perfect hold.

Surf Bikini Pants

With the drawstring waistband you can tighten the surf bikini bottoms individually and be sure that they will not slip.

Alternatives to the Surf Bikini

For some surfers, the surf bikini may not be the right choice. As an alternative to the bikini, there are also swimsuits for surfing and surf suits. A surf suit, such as our Orfe, offers very high sun protection and the full coverage of the upper body means you are prepared for waves of any size. The Kelt swimsuit offers maximum freedom of movement for paddling with its crossed back straps and protects the stomach and chest from sand on the surfboard.

Surf leggings as a complement to the bikini

For surf sessions in the blazing midday sun or in tropical surfing areas, it is sometimes advisable to protect yourself from the sun particularly well. And this is where surf leggings come into play and become the best weapon against sunburn. Our surf leggings were developed for exactly this purpose. Of course, you can also wear them for stretching exercises after surfing, during yoga sessions or when warming up.

Sustainable Surf Bikinis

Protecting the oceans and sustainability are important to us. Of course, we don't want to surf in a sea that is full of plastic waste. But it is more important that the oceans remain a habitat for countless animals and a functioning ecosystem. That is why we pay particular attention to protecting nature as much as possible when developing and manufacturing our surf bikinis. For example, we only use fabrics made from recycled materials. But it is also important that bikinis are manufactured to a high quality. The longer a product lasts, the more environmentally friendly it is and our surf bikinis are guaranteed to last longer than one season.

Surf bikinis made from recycled nylon

All our plain bikinis are made from recycled nylon (polyamide). We use a regenerated polyamide made from industrial waste called Econyl®. When using Econyl®, the impact on global warming is 80% lower than nylon made from petroleum.

Surfing bikini made from recycled polyester

Our surf bikinis with printed motifs are made from recycled polyester. We use polyester that is made from used plastic bottles and, in contrast to new polyester of almost the same quality, uses up to 60% less energy in production.

Which surf bikini is right for me?

Choosing the right bikini for surfing is a very individual matter. Every body has its own characteristics, which should be taken into account when buying a surf bikini. We try to describe every bikini top and bikini bottom in great detail and provide further assistance with size examples on every product page. However, if you are unsure, please write to us at support@oysurfapparel.com . We will be happy to advise you and help you choose the perfect surf bikini for you.

Surf bikinis that look good

In addition to all the demands that a surf bikini has in terms of functionality, the demands on design must not be neglected. Here, too, we put a lot of love into the details and ensure that you not only feel absolutely free while surfing, but our surf bikinis also make you look good.
