RIP CURL Flashbomb Search 3/2 Zip Free Wetsuit

The Rip Curl Flashbomb Search 3/2 Zip Free Wetsuit is built for riders who want the warmth of Rip Curl’s premium Flashbomb technology without sacrificing flexibility.

Its 3/2mm construction provides a versatile balance of thermal protection and mobility, while the Zip Free entryeliminates the restriction of a traditional back or chest zipper. Combined with Rip Curl’s E6 materials and Flash Lining technology, the result is a lightweight, flexible full suit designed for performance in the water

3/2mm Performance Construction

The 3/2mm thickness provides additional insulation around the core while maintaining the flexibility required for dynamic movement.

Compared with a 4/3mm wetsuit, the lighter 3/2mm construction is particularly well suited to milder conditions and riders who prioritise freedom of movement.

E6 Flash Lining

A key feature of this Flashbomb Search generation is Rip Curl’s E6 Flash Lining throughout the body.

The lining is designed to combine thermal performance with excellent stretch, helping retain warmth without creating the heavy or restrictive feel associated with thicker wetsuit constructions.

E6 Flash Lining Tape

The suit also features E6 Flash Lining Tape, reinforcing the internal seam construction while maintaining the flexibility expected from the Flashbomb range.

E6 Thermo Lining

Rip Curl complements the Flash Lining with E6 Thermo Lining, providing additional thermal performance while retaining a lightweight and flexible feel.

E6 Neoprene

Lightweight, super-stretch E6 neoprene is used through key movement areas such as the arms and shoulders.

The highly flexible material allows the upper body to move naturally and is equally beneficial for wakeboarding and wakesurfing, where unrestricted shoulder and upper-body movement contributes to overall comfort.

Zip Free Entry

The Zip Free construction removes the conventional zipper entirely.

This reduces rigid components around the upper body and allows the neoprene to stretch more naturally through the chest, back and shoulders. It also creates a clean, low-profile entry system for riders who prioritise maximum flexibility.

Sealed Cuffs

Rip Curl equips this Flashbomb Search generation with sealed cuffs, helping reduce unwanted water entry around the wrists and ankles.

E6 Stress Point Hand Taping

Critical high-stress areas receive additional E6 stress point hand taping, reinforcing areas exposed to repeated stretching during entry, removal and active riding.

Premium Warmth Without Excessive Bulk

The combination of 3/2mm construction, E6 Flash Lining and E6 Thermo Lining makes the Flashbomb Search particularly attractive for riders who need more thermal protection than a springsuit but still want a lightweight and highly flexible full wetsuit.

Ideal for Wakeboarding & Wakesurfing

For wake sports, the Zip Free construction is particularly useful because it keeps the upper body flexible and unrestricted.

The Flashbomb Search 3/2 is an excellent option for extending your riding season beyond the warmest summer days while maintaining the freedom of movement required for wakeboarding and wakesurfing.
