Chica designs began while I was on a surfing adventure in the tropical
waters of the Hawaiian Islands. Since I learned to surf in Santa Cruz,
CA, where wet suits and booties were mandatory, I never realized the importance
of a good bikini. My first warm water surfing experiences were pretty
embarrassing – I never failed to lose my bottoms while duck-diving
or wiping-out. I tried wearing surf shorts, but they felt restrictive.
I tried surfing naked, but that’s hard to do everywhere and you
end up with some uncomfortable wax rashes. Unable to find a bikini fitting
my strict requirements, I realized that I needed to have one made. I brought
an old bikini to a seamstress and had her alter it and add a drawstring
to the bottoms. It immediately became my favorite bikini! I was finally
able to be completely in the moment while surfing and didn’t have
to worry about losing my bikini, which improved both my surfing and my
attitude. I have designed and tested many different bikinis and the ones
I have now are definitely the best. I am able to be completely in the
moment, which is what it is all about! Ola Chica bikinis are the best
because they stay on when you move! |
