Specifications:
- body shape: these boardshorts are designed for young girl surfers wanting to have fun and discover waves. With their belted waistband, the boardshorts stay in place in the waves and easily adapt to fit all body shapes.
- 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 kid's height with the size, as age is not sufficient to guarantee the correct size. Two 10-year-old girls can be of totally different heights, weights and shapes, and have different measurements. We also recommend trying the swimsuits on if possible.
Our girls' swimsuit sizes:
- 8/9 years: from 133 to 142 cm
- 10/11 years: from 143 to 150 cm
- 12/13 years: from 151 to 160 cm
- 14/15 years: from 161 to 169 cm
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, and you should feel supported. The elastane content in certain components used in the design of our swimsuits softens and relaxes in the water.
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 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
