The sport of surfing has been increasing in popularity for the last 50 years. However, the stereotypically male-dominated sport has seen an influx of women recently. During the pandemic, many women were left with more time for hobbies and with the beaches surrounding Australia they were gravitating towards the waves. It has become one of the fastest-growing sports in Australia and is not looking to slow down.
As women are joining the surfing community there has also been the creation of women-only surf retreats, women-only surf schools and the creation of women-specific surf apparel. These three factors have all joined forces to create an epic opportunity.
Surfwear Options for Women
There are many different options of sustainable surfwear available for women. At The Someday Co, the variety of options allows surfers to decide which styles suit their abilities and needs.
Surfsuits or Onezies
A surfsuit is a one-piece option that provides maximum comfort and sun protection. Featuring long sleeves that differ from a traditional one-piece swimsuit. These surfsuits for women are ideal for any conditions as they provide minimal movement and allow the wearer to spend longer periods out in the elements. This is by protecting the surfer from UV and keeping them warm. The open-back design of the surfsuit for women allows for more flexibility while paddling. Hidden design features include secretive key attachments.
The women’s surfsuits are created in feminine designs that highlight the female figure. Available in a variety of different colours and patterns, there is a surfsuit that matches everybody's style.
We recommend:
- The Soulti Surf Onzie in a plain colour such as brown
- The Soulti Surf Onzie in a retro-themed pattern
- Ocean Flo: Zicatela Surfsuit (Cheeky Cut) in Pastel Paradise
- Ocean Flo: Lobitos Surfsuit (Boyleg) in Mana Retro
- Ocean Flo: Lobitos Surfsuit (Long Sleeve / Boy Leg) in Rustic Boho
- Ocean Flo: Lobitos Surfsuit (Long Sleeve / Cheeky Cut) in Green Flower Power
Surf Shorts
Surf shorties feature a high waistline, elastic waistband and moderate coverage which keeps unwanted exposure at a minimum. These shorties are not traditional board shorts but are made from swimwear material. This means that they are more figure-hugging and are less likely to move around and interfere with your surfing ability.
We recommend:
- The Soulti Surf Surf Shorties in a retro-inspired pattern
- The Salty Gypsy Surf Bottoms in Black Rib
Surf Bikinis
These specifically designed surf bikinis are not your traditional string bikini, which wouldn’t last a minute out in the surf. They have thick straps for a firm fit and fixed straps that stop any unwanted movement. The design features chest and side coverage to keep everything in place.
The overall look is stylish and feminine, and the surf bikinis come in a wide range of colours and designs. They allow you to show off your personality while shredding the waves.
The high-waisted bikini bottoms provide a firm waistband for a secure fit and allow for minimal movement while duck diving. Narrow bum coverage for a little bit of cheek on show but not too much that it will hinder your performance.
