The Rip Curl Flash Bomb Hidden Split Toe Booties have become our go-to choice thanks to their warm, fast-drying 3mm neoprene and super-thin sole that gives us excellent board feel and control. The hidden split-toe design—with a protective bridge—keeps leashes from getting caught, and the dual-strap system does a great job keeping the booties locked onto our feet, even in turbulent water. They’re hands-down our favorite booties: reliably snug, durable, and consistently high-performing in a wide range of river surf conditions.
