What started in 1969 as a Search of two surfers, has grown into an identity, lifestyle and philosophy that has spread and been adopted by surfers and boardsports enthusiasts worldwide. Still a private company, Rip Curl now designs, produces and distributes a huge variety of highly innovative clothing, wetsuits, boardshorts, watches, mountain wear, footwear, eyewear, accessories, and other equipment across the globe. Rip Curl prides itself on its world class roster of athletes including ASP World Champion Mick Fanning, yet remains grounded in the sport we love.
