What started in 1969 as a vision, or Search, of two surfers, has grown into an identity, lifestyle, and philosophy that have spread and been adopted by surfers and boardsports enthusiasts worldwide. Rip Curl remains a privately-owned company that has grown to be one of the world's leading surfing-focussed businesses. Now designing, producing, and distributing a wide variety of highly innovative clothing, wetsuits, boardshorts, watches, mountainwear, footwear, eyewear, accessories, and other equipment for the range of board sports through more than 60 countries across the glove, Rip Curl prides itself on its world-class roster of athletes, including ASP World Champions Mick Fanning and Stephanie Gilmore, yet grounded in the sport we love.
