Rip Curl

Rip Curl is an Australian company known for designing, manufacturing, and retailing surfwear and gear for board sports. Founded in 1969 in Torquay, Victoria by Doug Warbrick and Brian Singer, Rip Curl began as a surfboard company and soon expanded into wetsuits, helping shape modern surfwear through innovations adapted from diving technology. Today, Rip Curl operates globally, with a strong presence in Australia, Europe, the Americas, and South Africa. While rooted in surfing, the brand also supports skateboarding, snowboarding, freestyle skiing, and wakeboarding. As a long-standing member of the surf industry's “Big Three,” Rip Curl continues to produce technically driven products and remains active in sponsoring events and athletes around the world.
