THE ULTIMATE SURFING COMPANY

Rip Curl is a company for, and about, the crew on The Search. The products we make, the events we run, the riders we support, and the people we reach globally, are all part of the Search that Rip Curl is on.

FOUNDED IN 1969 BY BRIAN SINGER AND DOUG “CLAW” WARBRICK, RIP CURL IS ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST RECOGNIZED AND RESPECTED BRANDS. IT HAS BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF THE SURF AND SNOW SCENES SINCE ITS CREATION.

Our Wetsuits

The best wetsuits in the water feature the most advanced neoprene and construction technology.

In March of 1969 two surfing friends Doug "Claw" Warbrick and Brian "Sing Ding" Singer bumped into each other in Gilbert Street, Torquay. Claw had just finished a summer shaping stint with Fred Pyke and Brian was a science teacher.

"Do you want to start making surfboards together?" he asked. Brian immediately figured this would mean a lot more time surfing, so on the spot said, “Yes!” and resigned from teaching a couple of days later.

The timing was perfect and just like that... Rip Curl was born...
