The Rip Curl Story

The year: 1969. A man called Armstrong is with regards to to walk on the moon.

(In fact, the day he does so, Bells Beach is ten foot and near perfect. Two Torquay locals, Charlie Bartlett and Brian Singer, surf their brains out before going home to watch the other momentous event on black and white TV.)

In Australia, surfing is at a curious stage of it is development. The “short board revolution” of 1967 has developed a frenzy of experimentation in surfboard design and surfing technique.

In the cool climate of Victoria, sanity prevails in design and technique, if not in the temperaments of the surfers. The cold, always a great leveller, has produced a hardy breed of surfer who has no time for the hoopla and hype of the glitter beach capitals of the world. And by 1969 these like-minded souls have begun to gravitate towards the evenly no-frills seaside town of Torquay, just a couple of kilometers away from Bells Beach, home of galore of the most challenging waves in Australia.
And it is into this environs that Doug “Claw” Warbrick and Brian “Sing Ding” Singer determine to pitch their fledgling surf company, Rip Curl. And yes, it will be called Rip Curl.

Rip Curl Surfboards did well in a highly competitory market which had opened up in response to the revolution in design. Pioneers like Gordon Woods and Barry Bennett in Sydney and George Rice in Victoria had been joined by hundreds of wide-eyed hopefuls operating, like Rip Curl, out of garages and tool sheds.

In a good deal of cases ebullience and innovation eclipsed technical skillfulness and quality, but Rip Curl concentrated on constructing a little number of functional surfcraft for local waves.

In 1970, however, Warbrick and Singer made the decision which changes everlastingly the nature of their fledgling company. Looking at the necessary needs of their fellow surfers in cold-water Victoria, they see that one – a board to ride – is being serviced by too a great deal of companies, while the other – a wetsuit to keep out the cold – is being serviced by only two, one of whom makes wetsuits for divers and has only a marginal mercantile interest in surfing.

Rip Curl took over an old house in Torquay and the collaborators made a little investment in a pre-World War II sewing machine. They put together a crew of locals and went into production, cutting out the rubber on the floor and handing the pieces to an over-worked and underpaid machinist.

By today’s standards, the prototype Rip Curl wetsuits were primitive, but they differed from others on the market in that they evolved through fundamental interaction with surfers.

The persons who ran the company were – and still are – the test pilots. There may be no more direct line of communication…

Very good funciton…Questionable endurance
By Malakas07
I’ve been purchasing Rip Curl watches for awhile now and as an avid salt water enthusiast these watches are well worth it.
My older Rip Curl watches were stainless steel and took very good beatings. Any watch on my wrist is going to take a good thrashing since I love to wear my watches everywhere I go. Whether it would be cast netting for bait or wading chest deep to get to the school my older watches were constantly exposed to salt water and sand almost every weekend. Even through all of those harsh environments the outer bezel, glass or any other of the watches main parts never scratched, discolored nor chipped. What failed on my previous Rip Curl watches were the bands, pins or clasps. My previous analogue Rip curl watch band failed and then the battery died. I decided to move on to a 3rd Rip Curl watch and try out the cheaper ABS plastic all digital Ocean trestle.

overpriced
By bigman
i called rip curl before i bought this watch to ask them if the display shown was without the light and they said yes which was a lie. I’m 65 but this watch sucks because indoors with dim lighting the display of the time is horrible. you can read the face unless you press the light. i go swimming and in an indoor pool the watch is barely visible. outside in the sunlight the watch is OK. to great timing let me exchange this for something else. for a 150. watch even though you discounted it it wasn’t worth it.
