About

Rip Curl Read More A hardcore Australian surfing company through and through, Rip Curl started life in 1967 as a surfboard manufacturer, but 3 years later founders Doug Warbrick and Brian Singer saw a gap in the burgeoning wetsuit market and didn't look back. Their mission was to make surfing in cold water a more pleasurable experience for their fellow surfers. And after nigh-on five decades of blazing a trail it's safe to say they’ve done that. The name ‘Rip Curl’ came from an off-the-cuff message scribbled by Doug Warbrick on an old single-fin. It read “Rip Curl Hot Dog.” Kinda meaningless, but kind of cool too! As well as making a rock-solid range of wetsuits, Rip Curl also produce a damn fine range of wetsuit boots, gloves, hoods and rash vests. Rip Curl Wetsuits Read More Boasting a research and development program that's second to none, Rip Curl wetsuits have always been at the forefront.
