Why Long Sleeve Swimsuits?

Sure, bikinis are classic favorites, but we can’t help but maneuver from our traditional triangle bikini tops to a little more unchartered waters where sleeves reign supreme. Let's talk about why our 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! Whether you are sporting a pair of our women’s shorts or a cute pair of swimsuit bottoms, your long-sleeve top will always be the perfect complement to your beach day wear.
