The Rising Tide Demi: Billabong’s definitive underwire top. Featuring a textured "wave" fabric, a supportive demi-cup fit, and adjustable shoulder straps. Built for a flattering lift and all-day comfort in the North Okanagan sun. Structured and chic. Read more.
The Rising Tide Demi Underwire is for the woman who wants the familiar support of her favorite everyday bra, translated into a high-performance swimsuit. At Attridge, we love the Demi silhouette because it offers a modern, squared-off neckline that is incredibly flattering for a wide range of bust sizes. It provides a subtle lift and a secure "locked-in" feel that stays put whether you’re diving off the boat or playing beach volleyball at Kin Beach.
The standout feature is the Rising Tide fabric. This premium textured knit features a subtle "wave" pattern that adds a sophisticated tactile dimension. Not only does it look high-end, but the thicker fabric provides extra support and ensures the top stays perfectly opaque, even when soaking wet in the Vernon heat.
Underwire Support: Features a built-in wire designed to provide shape and a natural lift without the need for bulky, heavy padding.
The "Rising Tide" Texture: The specialized knit construction offers superior stretch-memory, meaning your top won't get saggy or lose its structure after a full season at the lake.
Vernon Utility: This top is a styling powerhouse. Because it looks like a chic bralette, it layers perfectly under an open Roark Made To Fade Button Up for a post-lake dinner at The Kal.

The "Support" Factor: This is our #1 recommendation for customers who want to feel "secure." The underwire and adjustable straps allow you to dial in the fit perfectly.
Staff Approved: Our crew loves the "Rising Tide" series because the fabric is incredibly resilient. It stands up to the sun, sand, and lake water of a full North Okanagan summer.
Elevated Aesthetic: The demi-cup look is a major trend right now. It pairs perfectly with the Rising Tide Tanga Bottom for a matching set that’s pure "Okanagan Luxury."
Fit Tip: The Demi fit is generally true to your bra size. If you are between cup sizes, we suggest sizing up for a bit more "spill-proof" coverage, as the adjustable straps and back closure allow you to keep the band snug!
