The Rip Curl Story: 50 years of perfect surf, international business, wild characters and the search for the ultimate ride Audiobook (Free)

The Rip Curl Tale may be the remarkable tale of two young surfers who pursued an audacious fantasy to produce a living in quest for the best ride. The brand they constructed, Rip Curl, not only satisfied their own surf- and wanderlust, but also motivated countless others, both fuelling and operating the wave of the global youth revolution of the late ’60s.

Rip Curl’s mantra became ‘the Search’ – the chasing of fresh waves on distant shores – because they embraced new thrills such as snow skiing, snowboarding, about The Rip Curl Story: 50 many years of best browse, international business, outrageous characters and the search for the ultimate trip windsurfing and aimed constantly to create better equipment to raise the experience. Along the way, they backed the careers of many from the world’s great surfers: from Midget Farrelly and Nat Young to Michael Peterson, Tom Curren to Damien Hardman, Pam Burridge to Stephanie Gilmore, and of course Tyler Wright and the legendary Mick Fanning.

Through the late-’60s era of peace, drugs and country soul to the birth of professionalism and reliability in the ’70s; from your decadence and more than the ’80s to the brand new nomadic free-surfing trail of the ’90s, and the bold new frontiers of browsing in the 2000s – wave pools, webcasts, Olympic acceptance – The Rip Curl Tale explores both the evolution of the world-leading surf brand and a whole social revolution.

The Rip Curl Tale will make you intend to browse more, travel additional, continue on that great business idea and go after your own Search.
