Ripcurl X Lomography: Live The Search

Rip Curl is a major Australian

manufacturer and retailer of boardwear

founded in 1976.

 

The name "Rip Curl" was taken from

a vee-bottom surfboard that

cofounder Warbrick bought in 1968,

upon which he'd written "Rip Curl Hot Dog."

 

The words didn't mean anything, he later admitted.

"Except ripping was groovy;

surfing the curl was groovy;

we wanted to be groovy — so that was it."

 

– Matt Warshaw, "Encyclopedia of Surfing

 

Lomography is the commercial trademark

of Lomographische AG, Austria
