ABOUT RIP CURL
In March of 1969 two surfing friends Doug "Claw" Warbrick and Brian "Sing Ding" Singer bumped into each other in Gilbert Street, Torquay. Claw had just finished a summer shaping stint with Fred Pyke and Brian was a science teacher. As the conversation progressed, and no doubt thinking about how they could stay surfing Bells in the pumping months ahead, Claw posed the question that started something great...
"Do you want to start making surfboards together?" he asked. Brian immediately figured this would mean a lot more time surfing.
So on the spot said, “Yes!” and resigned from teaching a couple of days later. The timing was perfect and just like that... Rip Curl was born.
