Sapia Simone Launches Wetsuits for SS18

Whether you’re surfing in Sri Lanka, wake-surfing in Dubai or scuba diving in the cooler waters off Oman, for a couple of months a year, wetsuits are going to be part of your gear.

Dubai based designer Sapia Simone launched her label in the cooler months of 2016. It can now be found in 15 stores worldwide as well as online on Farfetch.com and seen on the pages of Conde Nast Traveller, Harpers Bazaar Arabia and Emirates Woman. Having originated in Miami, the brand exudes a tropical essence, focusing on nature, travel and fantasy across its collections.

The brand’s aim is to encourage and inspire a fresh perspective on ‘beach chic’. Sapia Simone’s design mission is to make playful and beautiful swimwear silhouettes, styles and resort wear that celebrate the active and adventurous female living across the world in a variety of sunshine societies.

Designed to provide functional support to all our aquababes, wetsuits are normally your traditional black one-piece (ok it’s sometimes grey too) what they aren’t… is very fashion focused. Yet.

Launching for the first time, September sees one of my favourite brands, SAPIA SIMONE, focusing on the more active and adventurous women. Activating in two colours, these neoprene wetsuits are modest yet sexy, with patterned sides and a front zip for wear-ability. Sapia Simone SS18 Wetsuits

Why not co-ordinate with your accessories too? Who doesn’t want matching wetsuits and surf bags, designed to be completely watertight and seal in all your important belongings, so that you can surf, skate or ski with peace of mind out on the water. Sapia Simone SS18 Wetsuits

Early Risers: Speedo Water Babes

Wake surfing is my all-time favourite pastime, so when Speedo offered to kit out some of our Dubai water-loving babes for an awesome morning out on the boat, we jumped at the chance!

We headed down to Fahrenheit Beachsports with @LeanLivingGirl, @Thuymi, @MissCharFit, @Monkyseemonkydo and @ClaireFalconer_ our favourite surf spot, with a private cove that’s perfect for wake-surfing and no traffic!

For those who haven’t tried wake-surfing (not to be confused with wake-boarding of course), it’s super fun and a relatively gentle sport as the speed on the back of the boat is a lot slower than when you waterski or wakeboard. For some of our first-timers out there, the chilly water was the only barrier as they all found their feet and ‘the sweet-spot’ quickly.

Wake-surfing is less of a workout for the arms too, as you’ll let go once you’ve found your surf rhythm behind the boat. The key with wake-surfing is to not overthink it, and to just enjoy the ride, as whether you remain on the rope or you drop it and you’re able to give carving a little go, you’re going to feel the wave under your board and you’ll get your balance in no time.

Check out the action below with all of us #SpeedoWaterBabes kitted out in their cute summer rashy’s!…
