Slay the waves and the fashion game? Easy. So, wax up your boards, babes, and let's ride.

Why Long Sleeve Swimsuits?

Sure, bikinis are classic favorites, but we can’t help but maneuver from traditional triangle bikini tops to a little more unchartered waters where sleeves reign supreme. Let's talk about why long-sleeved swimsuit tops are making waves in the surfing scene. First off, they're not just a winter necessity – they're a year-round game-changer. Picture this: the sun blazing, waves crashing, and you're out there catching the best barrels with your skin shielded from harmful UV rays. Long sleeves are your surf armor, protecting you from sunburn and unwanted board wax kisses. Our skincare routines go beyond slathering on some suntan lotion…we take it to the water. And for those chillier days? Oh, girlfriend, long sleeves have your back (and arms) covered! When the winter swell hits, you'll be snug as a bug in your long-sleeved swimsuit top. Say goodbye to shivers and hello to endless surf sessions. It's all about staying stylish and warm – the ultimate win-win!

The SLO CAL Open Pismo Beach wrapped up in epic, summer-like conditions on Sunday. Taking the win in the North America Qualifying Series (QS) 3,000 women’s event was Malibu’s Talia Swindal.



For Talia, the win was an emotional one as she dedicated it to Malibu surfer Lyon Herron, who recently succumb to a long fight with cancer. “I want to dedicate this win to Lyon Herron, Lyon forever,” Talia said, "He was an amazing surfer and Malibu guy. He passed away last month. I’ve always looked up to Lyon. He’s such an inspiration and yeah this is for him.”

Talia, who earned the win over hyper-talented Bella Kenworthy, also sharde "I know she can throw a 9 or a 10 whenever she has to so I’m never comfortable out there with her having priority and needing a score. This means so much and just thank you to everyone supporting me; my family, my friends. This is incredible.”

Swindal now moves into a tie for first on the North America Qualifying Series with San Clemente's Kirra Pinkerton.

With figure-flattering fits and undeniable comfort, you can enjoy a beach or pool day while still being the boss babe that you are. Barbie approved.
