Rip Curl Flashbomb Fusion

Traditional wetsuits rely on needle-and-thread stitching, which creates thousands of tiny holes that can let water seep in over time. The Flashbomb Fusion uses Fusion Dry Seam technology to bond the panels together, creating a 96% stitch-free barrier that significantly reduces water entry and improves thermal retention.

It takes a little practice if you are used to back-zip suits, but the zip-free design is worth the learning curve. By removing the bulky zipper, you gain much more flexibility across the back and shoulders, which makes paddling significantly easier and less fatiguing.

The 5/4mm thickness combined with the integrated hood and advanced thermal lining is rated for water temperatures down to 48 degrees Fahrenheit. It is a serious cold-water suit built for winter sessions.

The hood is designed to be ergonomic and streamlined, so it moves with you rather than against you. Because it is integrated into the suit, it eliminates the gap between your neck and the hood where cold water usually flushes in.

The E7 Flash Lining is engineered to be both warmer and more flexible than previous generations. It traps heat against your body while drying incredibly fast between sessions, so you aren't putting on a cold, damp suit for your second surf of the day.

Yes, the suit includes an internal key pocket. It is positioned to keep your key secure and out of the way while you are in the water.
