Rip Curl Women’s Flashbomb 4/3GB Steamer Wetsuit - Black

The Rip Curl Women’s Flashbomb 4/3GB Steamer Wetsuit is built for female surfers who need serious warmth, full-body coverage and dependable cold-water performance. Sitting in Rip Curl’s premium wetsuit range, the Flashbomb is made for surfers who want winter warmth without giving up movement, comfort or paddle freedom.

The 4/3mm thickness provides strong insulation through colder surf sessions while still allowing flexibility for paddling, duck diving and regular surf movement. This makes it a strong choice for winter mornings, southern Australian conditions, windy coastal days and longer sessions where staying warm keeps you in the water for longer.

The GB construction refers to glued and blind stitched seams, helping reduce water entry compared with basic flatlock stitching. Combined with full steamer coverage and Rip Curl’s performance-focused wetsuit design, this suit is made for women who want reliable warmth and premium surf comfort.

Finished in classic black, the Women’s Flashbomb keeps the look clean, sharp and timeless while delivering the kind of winter surf performance Rip Curl is known for.
