Years ago, when I was learning to surf out at Kuta Reef, I had one of those days. You know the kind—when everything is happening at once. The reef felt sharp and closer than it should, the sets rolled in faster than I could read them, and I was still learning how to duck dive without panic. But the real challenge wasn’t the waves.
If you’ve ever been out on the waves, you know that the right gear can make or break your surfing experience. While choosing the right surfboard or wetsuit is crucial, the importance of selecting the best swimsuit for surfing should not be overlooked.
There’s a unique kind of freedom that comes from boarding a plane with just your board bag, a few essentials, and a one-way ticket to somewhere warm and wave-rich. For many, that place is Bali—and for good reason.
The Mentawai Islands sit at the top of every surfer’s dream list—and once you’ve been, you’ll know why. Imagine glassy turquoise waves peeling over coral reefs, palm-fringed islands untouched by mass tourism, and a rhythm of life that revolves entirely around the tides.
Style it under high-waisted shorts, a sarong, or wide-leg Sunday pants for beach clubs or sunset dinners. It’s swimwear that multitasks—because island life doesn’t stick to just the beach.
With warm tropical water, consistent swell, and a laid-back surf culture, the Island of the Gods attracts wave chasers from around the world. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned surfer, Bali has something for everyone.
