It features a mock neck, back zip with long tab, soft cups with removable foam padding, raglan sleeves, and a cheeky cut, with an all-over tropical print and openwork front cutout.

Product Insights

The Rip Curl Hotel Malibu Zipped Surfing One-Piece (170 CAD) is a surf-specific swimsuit with four-way stretch and raglan sleeves that eliminate shoulder binding during paddling, plus a full lining for opacity and security through maneuvers. Its quick-dry fabric offers UV protection on covered skin. However, the back zipper lacks a velcro anchor and tends to slip down during surfing; sizing requires tradeoffs—size up for torso length or down for the cheeky cut, and the torso runs short with no strap adjustability. The removable soft cups may shift during vigorous activity, and the 82% polyamide/18% elastane blend demands immediate rinsing after chlorine to preserve stretch. Care includes hand washing and shade drying to maintain elasticity and print.

  • Back zip design issue on Rip Curl surf suit

    was really curious and googled the ripcurl op talks abt. surprisingly enough there is no velcro bit to hold the zip in place and seems like it is designed to look like a bathing suit - that's my impression at least. i am afraid it's looks over function for this wetsuit... sorry em...
