Rip Curl Flashbomb Fusion Wetsuit

Fusion Dry Seam Technology replaces traditional stitching with a bonded seal. This eliminates needle holes, which prevents water from leaking through the seams and helps maintain the neoprene's natural stretch and durability.

This 4/3mm suit is rated for water temperatures as low as 48 degrees Fahrenheit. The combination of the attached hood and the thermal lining makes it suitable for frigid, cold-water surfing conditions.

Yes, the E7 Flash Lining is engineered to drain water quickly and dry rapidly between sessions. While it won't be bone-dry immediately, it significantly reduces the 'cold, wet suit' feeling when you pull it on for your second session of the day.

Chest-zip systems require a bit more flexibility to put on than back-zips, but they offer a much better seal and less restriction in the back panel. Once you get the technique down, the improved warmth and paddling freedom are well worth the slight learning curve.

E7 is Rip Curl's high-performance neoprene, designed to be exceptionally lightweight and stretchy. It feels less restrictive than standard neoprene, allowing for a full range of motion during paddling and maneuvers.

No, the hood is permanently attached to the suit. This design is intentional to ensure a completely watertight seal around the neck and head, which is critical for maintaining warmth in cold water.
