Rip Curl Wetsuits

Rip Curl Wetsuits is the most popular wetsuit for surfing, and winner of several SIMA (The Surf Industry Manufacturers Association) awards. They are specifically designed to have the best combination of comfort, durability and style for surfing as well as use for other water sports.

Now considered one of the ultimate surfing companies, Rip Curl started in the late 60's/early 70's in Torquay, Australia by Doug Warbrick and Brian Singer, with an innovative and enthusiastic approach they began by offering a range of surf products for the local market. Then they decided to break into the under developed market for wetsuits and began producing their own range and so Rip Curl wetsuits uk were born. Since then they have continued to be developed in line with the real needs of real surfers. While the company has grown into an international brand they remain focused on their original beliefs.

Rip Curl Wetsuit Planet Foundation

The company has a strong environmental ethic and has created the Rip Curl Planet Foundation to further these ideals; it has developed its own environmental projects as well supporting many other projects and organisations in areas such as reef protection and water quality, working with a diverse range of partners such as Surfers Against Sewage and the World Wildlife Foundation.

They have spent a lot of time ensuring it stays in touch with the needs of all surfers and it does this by spending a lot of time testing its products, sponsoring some of the world's top surfers (including Matt Wilkinson, Mick fanning, Gabriel Madina, and Alana Blanchard) but also by trying to keep in touch with its surfing roots and the core of its vision and focus; the Search.

Flash Bomb
The Flashbomb is Rip Curls warmest ever wetsuit. It is constructed from the best materials available on the market today. The cutting edge neoprene actually generates its own heat as it stretches. Thus, as you surf and paddle through the water you will actively heat your own wetsuit. Testing shows the suit provides 20% less weight and 10% more warmth, and 30% more stretch than previous versions. Taped seams provide maximum stretch, warmth, and limited cold water entry.

G-Bomb
The G-Bomb is the ultimate super stretch wetsuit. It features E6 thermoflex neoprene with E6 stress point taped seams for a lighter, ultimate stretch, easy entry, watertight wetsuit. It’s a boardshop favourite year after year in the super feminine ladies long sleeve shorty. Ideal for summer surfing, or to keep the chill away on warm days. Who says a wetsuit cannot be functional and look good at the same time?

Aggrolite
The Aggrolite is the affordable, but highly functional range from Rip Curl, that has only recently been introduced into the line. It provides a winning combination of stretch and performance whilst not sacrificing on performance and durability. Seamless underarms allow for a full range of motion while keeping your core and upper body warm. The Flash Bomb range is the Ferrari if the wetsuit world, and being honest priced accordingly. In our opinion the Aggrolite represents much better value for money, whilst maintaining classic looks and surfing functionality that will not disappoint.
