Slate Blue – Our New Surf Bikini Color Inspired by the Ocean

AFATO stands for surfwear that supports you through every wave – functional, stylish, and designed for real surfers. With our third color, Slate Blue, we’re expanding the collection with a bold, expressive shade that reflects the depth of the ocean and perfectly fits our lifestyle: free, wild, and inspired by the sea.

Our Third Color: Slate Blue
After the first two colors quickly became favorites within our community, it was clear: time for a new vibe. Slate Blue was a conscious decision – a shade that radiates calm while holding strength. The mix of rich blue and soft grey brings to mind early morning surf sessions, when the ocean is still quiet but already building its energy.

You can now find Slate Blue in our online shop – featuring the trusted AFATO fit: secure, functional, and tested in the line-up.

Surf Trip Along the Atlantic Coast – The Perfect Setting for Our Shoot
The idea for Slate Blue was born earlier in the design process – but it was during our surf road trip along the French Atlantic coast that we found the perfect place to showcase the new color.

Between two surf sessions, we discovered a spot that felt just right for our shoot: rugged cliffs, massive rocks, and the endless blue of the Atlantic in the background. The perfect setting to bring our new color to life.

Why Slate Blue Is Made for Surfing
Our surf bikinis are more than just beachwear – they’re your reliable companion in the water. And Slate Blue is no exception:
- Secure fit during duck dives and wipeouts
- Full freedom of movement while paddling
- Durable materials that hold up to saltwater and sun

This collection is for those who don’t just lie on the beach, but actually surf. For those who get up early because the swell is right. For those who know the feeling of their first take-off of the day.

Every Color Brings Its Own Energy
For us, colors are not just aesthetics – they carry a lifestyle. While our first color radiated lightness and the second stood for energy, Slate Blue adds new depth to the collection. It’s the color of early mornings in the line-up, of underwater silence, of focus and flow.

Let’s Surf Slate Blue
We’re proud to present the third color of our surf bikini collection. It represents everything AFATO stands for: surfing, freedom, and a conscious connection to nature.
