RIP CURL E-Bomb E7 Limited Edition 4/3 Zip Free Wetsuit

The Rip Curl E-Bomb E7 Limited Edition 4/3 Zip Free Wetsuit is a special performance model created through a three-year development project between Rip Curl’s wetsuit team and World Champion surfers Tyler Wright, Mick Fanning and Gabriel Medina.

Rather than simply upgrading a standard E-Bomb, Rip Curl developed a unique upper-body construction around its then-new E7 neoprene. The result is a 4/3mm wetsuit focused heavily on unrestricted movement, stretch and comfort.

Seamless E7 One-Piece Upper Body

The defining technology of this Limited Edition E-Bomb is its single-piece E7 upper-body panel.

The panel extends continuously from wrist to wrist without seams, allowing the highly flexible E7 material to stretch naturally across the shoulders, chest and arms. Rip Curl specifically developed this construction to maximise freedom of movement through the entire upper body.

High-Stretch E7 Neoprene

Rip Curl describes E7 as its breakthrough high-stretch performance neoprene for this generation.

According to the original technical information, E7 delivers 25% more stretch while being 10% lighter than E6.

The material is strategically concentrated in the upper body, where maximum flexibility has the greatest impact on movement.

E6 Neoprene Body

While the upper body uses the special E7 one-piece panel, the remainder of the wetsuit is constructed with E6 neoprene.

This combination allows Rip Curl to concentrate its highest-stretch material around the shoulders and arms while retaining the proven performance of E6 through the body.

Internal Thermo Lining

The entire suit incorporates internal Thermo Lining, adding warmth and comfort without compromising the performance-focused character of the E-Bomb.

The lining complements the 4/3mm construction, making this Limited Edition suitable for cooler conditions while maintaining the stretch expected from the E-Bomb range.

Zip Free Entry

The Zip Free entry system eliminates the rigid zipper found on conventional back-zip or chest-zip wetsuits.

Removing the zipper allows the upper body to move more naturally and complements the seamless E7 panel, keeping the entire shoulder and upper-body area as unrestricted as possible.

Torpedo Gusset

Rip Curl incorporates its Torpedo Gusset into the design.

This strategically shaped panel improves the fit underneath the arms and increases range of motion, further supporting the wetsuit’s focus on unrestricted upper-body movement.

4/3mm Performance Construction

The 4/3mm thickness provides considerably more thermal protection than a 3/2mm wetsuit while the advanced E7/E6 material construction keeps the suit flexible.

That combination makes the E-Bomb E7 particularly interesting for wakeboarding and wakesurfing in cooler lake conditions, where riders need warmth but still want maximum freedom of movement.

Developed With World Champions

This is not simply a colour variation of the regular E-Bomb. Rip Curl developed the Limited Edition E7 over three years together with some of its leading athletes.

The original product launch specifically involved World Champions Tyler Wright, Mick Fanning and Gabriel Medina, with the suit positioned as an ultimate-performance E-Bomb.

Ideal for Wakeboarding & Wakesurfing

Although originally developed around surfing, the construction translates extremely well to wake sports.

The seamless E7 upper body, Zip Free entry and flexible E6 body construction provide excellent mobility for starts, grabs and tricks, while the 4/3mm construction and internal thermal lining provide the protection needed for colder sessions.
