Deal Alert! Rip Curl Fullsuits on Sale!


So I've had some complaints lately that all I show are deals on O'Neill fullsuits on the North County Surf Blog and it was time I showed some love to my buddies at Rip Curl. So with a little arm twisting, I bring you today's Deal Alert! Rip Curl Fullsuits on Sale! And with the water a frigid 57 degrees around town, nothing is better than slipping on a gooey-ooey stretchy Rip Curl suit and surfing your brains out like Curren for 4 hours all warm and toasty. One of the best suits on the market is Rip Curl's E-bomb. A top of the line suit AND it's inexpensive. Throw in a sale price too and it's a no brainer.
It's got more stretch than you need, glued, taped, etc. etc. etc. and keeps you warm in the dead of winter. You've got 2 choices here- a 3/2 or a 4/3 and if you're a wimp like me, take the 4/3. Especially since it's a top of the line suit for just $255 at Cleanline Surf Shop. And you can get it in a traditional back zip or one of them new fangled chest zips. Here's some more scientific specifications for you:
  • E3 NEOPRENE - Superstretch Neoprene. Lighter, Warmer, more flexible.
  • GLUED AND BLINDSTITCHED - Triple glued, double stitched, allowing high stretch, strength.
  • LOCK SLIDE DESIGN - Shock cord closure system, adjust according to needs.
  • BLUE STEEL SEALED ZIP -A new improved, water resistant, steel head zipper.
  • DRAINAGE SYSTEM - 3 hole drainage system allows excess water to drain freely.
  • SEAMLESS UNDERARMS - For unrestricted flexibility and maximum movement.
  • S-FLEX KNEE PADS - Highly flexible and durable knee pads.
  • STASH POCKET - External zip pocket with key loop.
Rip Curl has got a ton of other suits in their line (like the industry leading Flash Bomb, the legendary Insulator, the price conscious Core, and more) but you'll just have to check them all out to see what suit is the best for you. Bottom line, the E-bomb is a suit good enough for the pros and cheap enough for you.
