Fit Advice
All stretch fabrics loosen slightly when wet so we recommend for your swim & surfwear to feel snug and firm when tried on dry, on land.
If inbetween sizes, size down for solid colours and consider sizing up for print fabric styles as print styles run slightly tighter.
For larger busts D+, we do recommend sizing up in tops.

Why We Designed This
Designed for active water activities, our cropped tankini top offers decent bust support though we do recommend layering with a rashguard in those scorching midday sessions.
Our Swim is Made from Recycled Materials
Since 2016, we have chosen to source and use ECONYL® regenerated nylon in our surf garments. Why? ECONYL® uses synthetic waste such as industrial plastic, waste fabric, and fishing nets from oceans, then recycles and regenerates them into a new nylon yarn that is exactly the same quality as virgin nylon.
As a small business, we are a constant work in progress doing the best we can with the resources we have. And while we research and sample alternative materials to nylon-based textiles, we will continue to use this next best option of regenerated nylons.
