I'm a bikini gal and I've bought from so many top dollar places...VS and such. I went last year and found my most favorite one of all time from...Walmart of all places!!?? Fits my goofy butt like a glove and it matched the old boat like it was custom made Smile

Was so excited to find it and for a fraction of what I was normally paying.

I always wear bikinis, I don't really like the ones that tie because I'm always scared they are going to get caught and rip off Laughing

But I do have a few that tie. Most of mine are Roxy, they fit me the best and they seem to last and not rip or fade. Good luck swimsuit shopping!

Yea ive found that i really like roxy ones for wakeboarding, they have this one thats so cute, and it doesnt tie it kinda has a racer back but has a bikini front, but unfortunately it doesnt fit my boobs, but for any ladies who are under a C cup im sure it would be great! I was so mad! But im really liking roxy right now.

I like bikinis, especially the halter tops ones. A little more support where you need it.

The bottems seem to be getting smaller and smaller...

I bought a new suit, tried a ton on , but they didn't really seem to cover enough. So I bought a Large, and now the top is huge, but the bottems actually cover! I own two bathing suits (Actually I stole one from my mom)....and seriously about 9 pairs of boardshorts. I hate bikinis! Halter tops are your best bet for wakeboarding. When you take off your life jacket they usually stay on!

Good luck!

Use to buy the VS stuff but very uncomfortable. Tried a roxy halter this year, loved it so much bought another.. and Twisted Evil

looking at another!! Got to hit those end of the year sales!!

Board shorts a must. Truely almost lost my bottoms on a baaad face plant when i wasn't wearing board shorts. Embarassed

thank goodness I didn't fly out of my bindings...then i would have been in real trouble!

I'm afraid of those little bottoms that tie on the hips. Although I rarely take my board shorts off anymore, I would be afraid someone would think it was cute to yank that little string. I don't think they would be too comfortable with the board shorts on either with a little wad of strings pressing into your hips.

I think the halters are cute, but they look seriously goofy on me. Let's just say, I don't need to worry about the support factor.

I think I have probably ten pairs of board shorts, of which about two fit. I discovered some of them will get all loosey goosey once they get wet, then they're barely hanging onto me.

WakeChikNikki, I have the black one, it is really comfy. I bought it because it didn't tie in the neck. The ones that tie in the neck give me a neck ache if I wear them all day.

Grace B., You lucky girl!!! I am looking for a suit that is just like that (looks like a bikini in front but is a racer back in the back) but just has a lil more coverage and holds a lil better.

This is going to sound weird, but that's OK. I wear a thong bikini most of the time with board shorts. I hate having water push my suit up my rear - it happens less when I am wearing a thong. Since I am not running anymore, most bottoms don't fit my big butt correctly either. Hubby was worried about it at first, but I never take my shorts off so he's OK with it now.
