There’s an art to finding the right swimsuit for days spent in and around the water.
It’s not just about looking good, it’s about moving freely, feeling confident, and staying protected while you chase waves, paddle across bays, or soak up the sun. If you live an active lifestyle close to the sea, you need swimwear that can keep up. Something that stays in place through a wave, a paddle, a dive — but still feels like you. Enter the ViX Water Sports Capsule: our first limited-edition surf-inspired swimwear collection engineered for sun, surf, and style. They’re designed to fuse functionality with the refined, effortless aesthetic ViX is known for. If you’ve been considering a surf suit, this is your sign.
What are surf suits?
It’s important to acknowledge that surf suits are not wetsuits. While wetsuits are designed to help you stay warm in cold bodies of water, surf suits are lightweight, soft, and stretchy, made from materials like lycra rather than thick neoprene. They keep you covered but are not insulated.
Reach for a surf suit when you want:
Full range of motion — perfect for leisure surfing, paddle boarding, or any active day by the water.
Soft, non-restrictive comfort — you can wear it all day without feeling weighed down.
Sun protection — because they cover a significant number of areas of the body, many surf surfs come with that added UV protection; bonus points for extra sensitive skin.
Quick-drying performance — ideal for transitioning from waves to the shore.
Whether you’re paddle boarding, kitesurfing, jet skiing, navigating water parks, windsurfing, bodyboarding, or just swimming, a surf suit is designed to move with you — not against you.
Different Types of Surf Suits For Women
There are a variety of styles to fit every need. Full-bodied designs, often called long janes or catsuits, provide coverage from neck to ankles, while short janes cover most of the torso and can come with or without sleeves. Surf suits traditionally cover the bum and can come with or without sleeves. For added versatility, there are also sporty two-piece surf suits.

Style tip: Layer a bikini underneath your long jane for an easy switch — perfect if you want to unzip for some sun bathing.

Pro tip: Surf suits don’t have padding, so layer a bikini underneath if you’d like a bit of additional support and coverage.
What the ViX Water Sports Capsule Offers
The limited-edition Water Sports Capsule is wetsuit-inspired, yet unmistakably ViX. Each piece is designed with clean lines and thoughtful seams that contour the body while allowing complete freedom of movement, so you can paddle, surf, or swim without ever feeling restricted.
Beyond performance, the pieces from the capsule offer additional coverage than traditional swimsuits and built-in UV protection, making it perfect for long days in the sun, whether you’re on the waves or lounging on the shore. Our designs are also created with sustainable lycra blending conscious design with comfort.
