Rip Curl E7 Flashbomb Fusion Fullsuit

Instead of using needle-and-thread stitching that creates tiny holes for water to seep through, Fusion Dry Seam Technology bonds the neoprene panels together. This creates a completely sealed, stitch-free barrier that keeps water out and significantly increases the suit's durability.

It requires a bit more technique than a standard back-zip suit, but the trade-off is superior flexibility and a better seal. Once you learn the method of stepping in and pulling the neck opening over your shoulders, it becomes second nature and offers a much more streamlined fit.

A 3/2mm wetsuit is typically ideal for cool to mild water temperatures, generally ranging from 55°F to 65°F (13°C to 18°C). Because of the high-performance E7 Flash Lining, you may find it comfortable on the lower end of that spectrum compared to a standard 3/2mm suit.

The E7 Flash Lining is designed to provide maximum warmth while remaining incredibly flexible. It dries very quickly between sessions and allows for unrestricted movement, which is essential for high-performance surfing where you need to paddle and maneuver without feeling restricted by thick neoprene.

Yes, the sealed cuffs are designed to sit snugly against your wrists and ankles, preventing the 'flushing' effect where water rushes into the suit during wipeouts or heavy paddling. This feature is a key component in maintaining your body heat during longer sessions.
