A CAPSULE COLLECTION IN COLLABORATION WITH THE ARTIST JEYKILL 1/2
Introducing a new collection of surfboards and swimsuits for OLAIAN, designed in Biarritz by Jeykill, artist and co-founder of the Bleu Noir tattoo studio. Both meticulous and spontaneous in its design, inspired by the ocean, the sky, and human nature, the collection presents a complex and abstract fantasy world.

His work is inspired by Polynesian, Aztec and Berber cultures. A unique aesthetic that aspires to inspire contemplation and reflection.
For the first time, OLAIAN, Decathlon's surf brand, has teamed up with an artist to bring their design vision to four of its iconic products, available as limited editions only on our website.
The swimsuit print is an exclusive creation, with hints of gold.
YOU ARE A BEGINNER SURFER
You are learning to surf or surf only a few times a year, during your holidays or a surf trip. You stay where you can touch the bottom, in tiny waves or broken waves. You surf for the pleasure of being in the water and for the feeling you get from it. During your sessions, you often fall but you fall in waves that are not very powerful. We have designed a wide range of swimwear for you, to suit your occasional practice and your body shape.
ACTIVE AT THE BEACH!
Whether you are a surfer or enjoy bathing in the sea, you don’t want to lose your swimsuit! This is why we test all our swimsuits in the waves. Each model is designed for surfing and perfectly suits other water sports: stand-up paddle boarding, sailing, kite surfing, bathing, etc.
BODY SHAPE
Tie-side bikini bottoms, along with the sliding triangle top, make up the two essential elements of a bikini! They are a summer wardrobe must-have.
Thanks to the high-cut leg at the tops of the thighs, they make your legs look longer. Contrary to popular belief, all women can wear them, provided you are comfortable with your body and particularly your stomach, as they are rather low rise bikini bottoms. The side ties can be tightened and they ensure the bikini bottoms stay in place 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 female surfers with different body shapes who follow a test protocol in a pool at our design offices in Hendaye, southwest France. 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.
FEEL BEAUTIFUL IN OUR SWIMMING COSTUMES
For 6 years, we have been working to show women's bodies with one goal: to make women feel beautiful in our swimwear. The chest is not crushed, the bum is not highlighted, and the cleavage is enhanced. Our mission is to ensure that every woman, whatever her body type or size, finds a swimming costume that suits her.
ADJUSTABLE
You can easily adjust the bikini bottoms to fit using the knotted side ties.
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: you should feel supported. The elastane content in certain components used in the design of our swimsuits softens and relaxes in the water.
DO YOU WANT TO EXCHANGE YOUR SWIMSUIT?
Is the size or style not suitable for you? would you like to exchange it at your Decathlon store? No problem, just be sure not to cut off the label of the swimsuit in case you want to exchange it.
