Customised surf lycra

Lycra is an essential item of clothing for water sports. It can be used for surfing, diving, paddleboarding, kitesurfing, wingfoiling, swimming, snorkelling or beach activities. It provides lightweight protection, greater visibility and a shared identity for a group of participants.

Whether you run a surf school, a diving club, a water sports centre or a sports club, the customised surf lycra enables members, pupils, instructors or participants to be identified quickly. It serves both as a practical piece of clothing and a visible means of communication.

This type of product is also ideal for brands, events, training courses, sports holidays or promotional campaigns. A customised Lycra garment can be worn during the activity, used as a giveaway, sold in-store or incorporated into a wider clothing range.

The aim is simple: to create swimwear that is instantly recognisable, comfortable to wear and in keeping with your brand identity.

Water sports often expose participants to the sun, wind, salt water, chlorine and friction. Choosing the right Lycra can improve comfort during exercise and minimise some of the discomfort associated with long outdoor sessions.

Depending on the model chosen, Lycra can provide useful protection against the sun, skin irritation and chafing caused by contact with a board, wetsuit, vest or other equipment. This is an important consideration for schools, clubs and regular surfers.

A custom UV-protective Lycra It must remain lightweight, flexible and comfortable to wear. It must move with the body without hindering swimming, rowing, gliding or the technical movements specific to water sports.

The fabric, cut and finish should therefore be chosen according to the intended use: summer surfing, diving, paddleboarding, kitesurfing, wingfoiling, swimming, water sports events or recreational activities.

Requirements vary depending on the season, the sport being practised and the target audience. A short-sleeved lycra top may be suitable for summer use, activities in warm water or as a lightweight option. A long-sleeved lycra top may be more suitable for prolonged exposure to the sun, training courses, diving or regular water sports.

Depending on your project, we can work with different styles to create a cohesive range: men’s lycra, women’s lycra, a more fitted cut, a more comfortable cut, short sleeves or long sleeves, depending on the products available.

The choice of model depends on several factors: the level of protection required, comfort, the desired image, budget, quantity, season and intended use. A surf school does not necessarily have the same requirements as a diving club, a swimwear brand or a paddleboarding event.

SubliSport helps you choose the most suitable fabric base to achieve a customised surf lycra in line with your practice and your audience.

For a school, club, brand or water sports event, it can be paired with customised board shorts, a technical T-shirt, a rashguard, staff uniforms or other products suited to water sports.

This consistent range helps to strengthen your organisation’s image. Instructors, participants, teams, attendees or club members can wear different items whilst maintaining the same colours, logos and visual identity.
