Hey Girls! Wanting to get a new swimsuit for the summer. What do you all have? I've had Roxy in the past, What about Victorias Secret or Billabong? Any suggestions?! Thanks!

I have had the best luck with Roxy ones, they seem to fit me the best and they hold together for a long time. I got 4-5 on sale at the end of the summer last year. Target actually has some really cute ones too for cheap. Sometimes Ross has some cute ones too, I have picked up a couple Roxy ones there before.

I like roxy but I have a butt and at times they dont fit me right. Go with oneill and billabong they work great. VS I have had a hard time with shipping with them.

It all depends on what you plan to do while wearing your suit.
Just lying around..... VS or Sauvage
Active - most all others than those above.

Aaron Chang suits are awesome and most of them are reversible Smile

Also, I love L Space, both brands are pricey but they last forever.

Mermaid, That looks like fun - but not for boarding... Well, unless you're at a clothing optional lake? Laughing

Mermaid · Addict Joined: 03 Jun 2005 Posts: 844

I wonder how long a candy necklace bikini would last if you wore it boarding? Confused

you should try it out.... and post pics of what happens Laughing

Well... with my appetite and sweet tooth that swimsuit would never make it onto my body. "Oh look, a neat new swimsuit..hmm, I'm hungry.." *munch* *munch* "so much for the swimsuit.... Laughing

As for the question, maybe I'm just cheap or not "core" but I get my swimsuits at McRae's and Wal-Mart. The ones from McRae's are thanks to my mom, the ones from Wal-Mart I just happen to see as I'm looking at interesting stuff like cameras and computers. Doesn't really matter because I have nice looking ten-80 shorts to go over the bottom and my vest covers the top when I'm riding.
I'm no help... sorry Confused

Speaking of appetite... I'm hungry.

Jeff- Sure, right after you post a pic of youself,after a day of boarding in a speedo made of cotton candy! Laughing

Tiff- The suit costs 25 bucks- better off to just buy a big ol' tub of candy necklaces from Walmart for 3. Wink

Target has really cute suits this year.

I have never heard of McRae's? Is that similar to Wal-Mart?

Jeff, Dees, don't fight over it boys, I don't really care who gets to wear it just as long as I get to see it. Laughing

Now you got me thinking about where I can find cotton candy in Australia in the middle of the night when I should be finishing this damn lame paper Laughing

adela, McRae's is a nice clothing store. Let me see, ever heard of Dillard's, Goody's, Gayfer's JC Penny, the softer side of Sears. McRaes is up there with those type of places, pretty nice clothes like Liz Claiborne, Hilfiger, Levi, Lee, etc.
Nice cotton candy swimsuit... looks a little bright to me, I think something is wrong with that cotton candy.

Buergday, no they wear clam shells, at least the disney ones do...

Mermaid, haha yeah it held up, but I'm betting another five minutes and that thing would've been long gone Laughing

THE BEST swimsuits are from Zena Swimwear on line. There are many styles and fabrics to choose from and they are all made from your measurements. I don't buy from anyone else. They last forever and I ride 2 to 3 days a week. They are more expensive than wal-mart but they are well worth it. And she makes them in 5 days. Check out her website.....you won't be disappointed. Cool

I like getting my swimsuits at Target and Old Navy.

If I feel like spending a little more..I'll go for Meier & Frank or Nordstroms (Nordstrom Rack is amazing if you get there at the right time!!!)

I really like Leilani swimsuits. I think they tend to be a bit more modest than a lot of bikinis.

XOXO also makes some very cute suits.

OK, so I'm not a girl. But since other guys are posting I figured I would contribute.

Bought a pair of Lost Tailgater boardshorts and absolutely love them. I would highly recommend Lost to anyone looking for a new pair of boardshorts. Very Happy

They actually look better in person than they do on screen. The larger stripes down the front that look white on screen are actually grey.

My boarding has definitely improved since I bought them. Rolling Eyes

As an added bonus, now I'll be color coordinated with cameraboy's wakesetter when I'm in Rochester to go boarding with him. Colorful

Good for you Dave, it's good to see when a man cares about his appearance, I'll bet you look pretty hot all colour coordinated. Wink

So, let's see what they look like on then, throw a pic in here.
