RIP CURL COASTAL INSTINCT SKIMPY | CHEEKY BIKINI BOTTOM

THE BIKINI BOTTOM THAT LOOKS AT THE SEA AND NEVER ASKS FOR PERMISSION

The boho print of the Rip Curl Coastal Instinct collection is no ordinary print. It is a bohemian yardage print—an all-over pattern designed so that each piece is visually unique, with the motifs positioned differently on every bikini bottom. Combine that with the low-rise cut, high leg, and contrast trims, and you have the surf bikini bottom that doesn't get lost in the sand.

BENEFITS YOU'LL NOTICE THE MOMENT YOU PUT IT ON

Boho yardage print unique to every piece. The all-over yardage print of the Coastal Instinct Skimpy is never repeated exactly the same on two bottoms. Each cut of the fabric positions the design differently, giving you a piece with its own identity. The vibrant colors and bohemian inspiration make it the bottom with the most personality in the collection.

High leg cut that lengthens and flatters. The High Cut Leg is one of the most flattering cuts on the market: it streamlines the silhouette, visually lengthens the legs, and allows for an even tan without uncomfortable marks. The Brazilian coverage offers that exact balance between true boldness and daily comfort.

Contrast trim that defines the silhouette. The contrast finish running along the edge of the bikini bottom is not just an aesthetic detail: it defines the shape, provides visual structure, and makes the piece stand out even from a distance. It is the same detail featured on the collection's triangle top, creating perfect visual coherence when paired together.

Fully lined for confident wear. The full lining ensures total opacity both when dry and when emerging from the water. No surprises, no discomfort, no constant adjustments. Once it’s on, you just have to forget about it and enjoy.

Metallic logo as a seal of quality. The metallic logo trim on the hip is the touch that elevates this bikini bottom above generic options. Discreet yet present, it is the Rip Curl signature on a piece with surf DNA from the very first stitch.

Lightweight, high-recovery fabric. The blend of 95% polyester and 5% elastane provides the precise elasticity that adapts to movement without losing its shape. Enter the water, jump a wave, return to your towel: the bottom maintains its shape and position.

EXPERT TIP

"The Coastal Instinct Skimpy is one of those bottoms that works as well in the water as it does out. The yardage print is vibrant without being overwhelming, the contrast trim gives it a lot of character, and the high-leg cut flatters all body types. Pair it with the triangle top from the same collection for a complete look with great visual cohesion. If you're looking for a bikini bottom with surf personality, this is a sure bet."

RIP CURL WARRANTY · BORN AT SEA, COMMITTED TO IT

Rip Curl was born in 1969 in Torquay, Australia, when Doug Warbrick and Brian Singer decided to make the surf gear they wanted to use themselves. Over 55 years later, the brand is still headquartered in that same coastal town and continues designing for surfers and ocean lovers around the world.

In 2023, Rip Curl obtained B Corp certification, the international recognition that validates real commitments to the highest social and environmental standards. The Coastal Instinct collection is part of that philosophy: pieces designed with quality materials, built to last for seasons, and with a style that doesn't expire.

Rip Curl does not offer a specific manufacturing warranty for its swimwear, but accepts returns and exchanges if the product has not been worn, the hygiene sticker remains intact, and all tags are still attached to the garment.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR COASTAL INSTINCT BOTTOM SO IT LASTS FOR SEASONS

• Rinse with cold fresh water after each use in the sea or pool
• Hand wash with mild soap or machine wash at 30°C on a delicate cycle
• Do not use bleach or fabric softener: they damage the elastane and can affect the contrast trim
• Dry in the shade, laid flat — prolonged direct sun can degrade the intensity of the yardage print
• Do not tumble dry or iron

SIZE GUIDE

Rip Curl bikini bottoms follow a standard European sizing. If you are between sizes, opt for the larger one for greater comfort and mobility in the water.
