Paddleboarding swimwear for the paddle and the fall-in
Stand-up paddleboarding is hours of twisting and reaching in the sun, plus at least one unplanned swim. It happens to everyone, promise. Here's what to wear on the board.
What paddling asks of your swimmers
Every stroke twists your body and reaches your arms forward. You're out in the sun for hours, and sooner or later you're going in. SUP swimwear needs to move with you, stay put when you hit the water and dry fast once you're back up.
The top
A top that stays put while you twist and reach makes long paddles so much nicer. The Racer has crossback straps and an under-band, and the Club Halter is a minimal halter for calm, glassy mornings. Both are medium support.
The bottom
Swim shorts are comfy for kneeling on the board and hauling yourself back on after a fall. Something cheekier works on flat, calm days.
Slip, slop, slap (and paddle)
Hours on the board means hours in the sun. Pack sunscreen, a hat and a rash vest for the long paddles.
