RIP CURL Flashbomb 4/3 Chest Zip Fullsuit Wetsuit – Black

The Rip Curl Flashbomb 4/3 Chest Zip Fullsuit is built for riders and surfers who demand premium warmth without sacrificing flexibility and freedom of movement.

With a 4/3 mm neoprene construction, advanced E7 and E6 Flash Lining and Rip Curl’s Fusion Hybrid seam technology, the Flashbomb delivers an excellent combination of insulation, stretch and durability for colder sessions.

E7 & E6 Flash Lining

The Flashbomb combines Rip Curl’s premium E7 and E6 Flash Lining technologies to provide exceptional warmth and comfort.

The lining is designed to:

• retain body heat
• dry quickly between sessions
• provide a soft feel against the skin
• maintain excellent flexibility

The result is a wetsuit designed to keep you warmer and more comfortable during longer sessions in colder conditions.

Fusion Hybrid Seam Technology

One of the key features of this Flashbomb is its advanced Fusion Hybrid construction.

Rip Curl combines its seam technologies with 3/4 Fusion Dry Seam construction to improve water resistance while maintaining the flexibility needed for unrestricted movement.

Benefits include:

• reduced water entry
• increased seam durability
• improved warmth
• excellent flexibility
• comfortable long-session performance

4/3 mm Cold-Water Performance

With 4 mm neoprene through the main body and 3 mm in key movement areas, the Flashbomb provides substantial insulation while retaining the mobility required for active watersports.

We recommends this model for approximately:

8°C – 17°C water temperatures.

Perfect for:

• wakeboarding
• wakesurfing
• surfing
• wakefoiling
• cold lake sessions
• early and late-season riding

Chest Zip Entry

The chest zip construction creates a close, performance-oriented fit while minimizing unnecessary water entry.

Compared with traditional back-zip designs, the chest entry allows the back panel to remain more flexible and unrestricted.

The result is:

• better freedom of movement
• secure fit
• reduced flushing
• clean performance feel

Mesh Skin Panels

Strategically positioned Mesh Skin panels help reduce wind chill and improve warmth in exposed conditions.

This is particularly useful during colder boat sessions where riders regularly alternate between being in the water and exposed to wind.

Sealed Cuffs

Sealed cuffs at the extremities help reduce flushing and keep the suit securely positioned during active sessions.

Combined with the Flash Lining and Fusion construction, they contribute to the Flashbomb’s premium cold-water performance.

Water-Based Lamination

Rip Curl uses water-based lamination in the main material construction, reducing reliance on traditional solvent-based adhesives while maintaining the performance required from a premium wetsuit.

Built For Premium Performance

The Flashbomb 4/3 is ideal for riders who prioritize:

• maximum warmth
• high flexibility
• fast drying
• reduced water entry
• premium comfort
• cold-water performance

Whether you’re extending your wake season into colder months or surfing in cooler conditions, the Flashbomb is designed to provide the warmth and mobility needed to stay in the water longer.
