Rip Curl was born in 1969 when two surfing friends Doug "Claw" Warbrick and Brian "Sing Ding" Singer quit their jobs to make surf boards. They lived for adventure, finding and surfing good waves, having a few beers and a good time at night and then doing it all again the next day. The products they make, the events they run, the riders they support and the people they reach globally are all part of The Search that Rip Curl is on, taking joy from the ocean as surfers and keeping the oceans healthy and clean for years to come. The Search is Rip Curl's driving force and vision so whether you are chasing uncharted reefs, untracked powder or unridden rails, Rip Curl will be with you all the way. The Ultimate Surfing Company Rip Curl is a company for and about the crew on The Search.
