I have mostly Rip Curl in everything from wetsuit shorts & spring suits to steamers. I didn't like the one I recently bought online & returned it. It was free postage to buy it & surprisingly free to return. My refund was made the day it was delivered. Can not fault that for service ! Show details
What was always my favourite brand, is now trash. Quality has become so poor. What a shame. Show details
Low quality – Purchased a bikini top way above price, product is definitely below standard. Worn once around my house, not been worn in sea nor pool . Will not be purchasing Rip Curl ever again. I also will not purchase anything from that Company again. Stay away from Rip Curl they obviously purchase low quality materials and the clips etc are cheap to add.
Great except web checkout – Arrived quickly and got what I ordered the only complaint is the checkout would not accept CC had to use another payment method
Rip Curl Torquay are highway robbers – I sent a simple analogue rip curl watch back to service and repairs centre in Torquay 2 years ago. Cost me $50 AUD. The battery they replaced is now dead. After speaking to Rip Curl they give their batteries 18 months. Which is like saying, you need to pay us around $33 every year to keep your watch working. And the service centre Woman had the… Read more
nerve to tell me "have a nice day". Effing crooks. I have just boycotted Rip Curl Australia. And now that I see the reviews, it would appear that others are doing the same on droves.
Low quality rubbish no customer service – Rip Curl used to be a quality product now their items are well below what they used to be. Their customer service is even worse. Purchased a long sleeve top when on holiday interstate after first wash the seams in armpit came undone. Rip Curls only solution was to travel back interstate and return it to the store purchased, they would not offer… Read more
any alternative or agree to return to a local supplier. Purchased a Rip Curl wallet which was to replace a previous one I had had for well over 10 years after 4 years new wallet had completely fallen apart. Contacted customer service and only response has been the automated reply.
They are no longer the premium product to reflect the premium price they charge for the low quality items they now sell.
Corporate Arrogance – Made an online purchase and duly paid. Partial refund received but no explanation, no response to emails . It's the arrogance you don't expect with pricey goods.
The watch went out with the tide – This is my 3rd Rip Curl watch all the same model but updated as watches either ceased working or superseded by a newer model. On this occasion I went with the $699 Titanium as I believed it would be more resilient. I do like the features the watch offers , but it is severely let down by the watch bands. Just because the watch is tough titanium,… Read more
doesn't mean the watch bands are any tougher. I recently sent the watch back to the Rip Curl Service Centre to have the bands replaced for the 3rd time (which are not covered by warranty or cheap). Unfortunately the watch was returned with some crappy looking rubber bands that are supposed to replace the shmick looking moulded bands the watch originally came with. They apparently don't make them anymore :( Needless to say I wont be buying another one if Rip Curl cant even supply parts for their products.
Bad customer service – I spent $140 yesterday on some shorts and a hat. They have a special if you spend over $70 you can buy a cotton backpack for $20 I forgot to claim this at checkout yesterday so went back with the receipt to claim it today. Doh it has to be on the day of purchase NOT HAPPY RIPCURL BLOODY RIDICULOUS . LOST THIS CUSTOMER FOR THE SAKE OF $20 NO MORE $700 wetsuits for me.
Boycott – Was my favourite brand, now embarrassed to wear anything with their logo. Support the .5%, [Content Removed] over the 49.75%. This will fail miserable.... Eventually. Fact they retracted the advert is irrelevant. They, as a company, agreed that a bloke is the best ambassador for women. Can't believe this is something that actually exists. Show details
Stop Cancelling Women! – Disgusting how they are trying to cancel women's sports. I will never support this business
The treatment of women – Disappointed how women are being treated. Will never buy any of the product
Doesn’t take women’s surfing seriously – Really disgusted they put a male to promote women’s surfing. Bethany was the perfect example to promote women’s surfing. Why on earth would you insult women like this. I will NEVER buy from this company again! Show details

R.I.P Curl – Offensive to REAL women everywhere! Go woke go broke! This world has gone mad, honestly!
I’m really confused about this product – I am embarrassed to wear anything made by this brand. I don’t trust that they are selling items that are made to enhance me as a female. Show details
A spade is not a spade if it has nuts – What a total trash company employing a freak with a block and tackle to pose as a shemale. Sicko lovin freaks will go under. No room in the real world for mental jobs trying to get the normal majority to kneel to sick nonsense!
Go woke Go broke – Will NEVER purchase another one of your products EVER. Insulting
no support for actual female athletes over transgender!!! – I can not support a company, who fire I female athlete just to replace her with a "Dude" who identify as a woman. Go woke go broke!!!
Go woke or go broke – They are pushing the trans agenda, which I do not support at all Show details
Very dissapointed – Pretending men are women is not good for business. How degraded women feel right now. Very disgraceful. Mentally ill men are not women, get it right. I spend thousands on this brand a year, you just lost a loyal customer. Show details
Supports men in women’s sport – Kathmandu/Ripcurl promoter of men competing in women’s sport @KathmanduGear owns #BoycottRipCurl
The most expensice wetsuits that fall apart in 3 weeks of normal use – I bought 2 e7 heatseekers top of the line at the time. the 3/2 leaked from day 2, the 4/3 got maybe 8 good surfs in before it started leaking through both armpits. 1 side very badly. Ripcurl ended up taking both the wetsuits back as they couldn't repair them and gave me store credit. So their customer service is VERY GOOD. I purchased a 4/3… Read more
Fusion top the line $800 suit. Ive used it about 6 times one of the "seams that don't leak" is leaking as though its not even been joined. I was going to buy a 3/2 fusion. but i think its even worse than the not acceptable quality E7 heat seeker. Its the neoprene that disintegrates in the arm pits.
I want to review them on thier own site. which I'm a member of, but it wont let me. or they've made it very difficult to do. For reasons i can imagine most of them would be 1 star for quality. they fit great, perform great but they dont keep you warm which i the F purpose.

Rubbish product – Bought a ripcurl watch just over 12 months ago. Watch stopped working, took to my local jeweler to have battery changed, was advised that it wasn’t the battery as time could not be reset once the new battery was installed. Took to Ripcurl shop where I originally purchased it and they sent it away to service centre. Service centre sent email to… Read more
say they would change the battery, I explained that it didn’t work even with new battery installed and I would like it repaired under warranty, was told I’d voided the warranty because I got a jeweler to change battery and not them! Sounds like a good excuse to avoid fixing their products under warranty! I live hundreds of klms from a service centre so it would mean each time you need battery replacement ( twice in 12 months for this particular watch) I would need to send it away and have jo watch for weeks at a time! Absolutely rubbish service and product warranty, will never ever set foot in a Ripcurl shop again and will never purchase the Ripcurl brand again!
Brand New Thongs Only Last 2 weeks – I have been using Ripcurl thongs for past 10 years. Suddenly the Quality dropped from 10 to -10. Bought 2 pairs of thongs. Blue pattern thogs bleed like I am walking in Ink. Otherone lasted ONLY 2 weeks. I use them inside the home only . Still, lasted me less than 2 weeks. Ripcurl - Check ur quality standards please.

Sh*t shoes – I just bought a pair of rip curl shoes at the airport because the boots I was wearing were hurting me. I ended up putting my boots BACK ON. These are the worst most uncomfortable saddles I've ever worn omg
Disappointing experience – I have just purchased a pair of denim shorts online. I was very excited when they arrived only to discover that while I ordered a size 28 and the tag started 28, the shorts themselves were a size 26. Sometimes mistakes happen but I’ve emailed twice now with no response. Also they don’t include a receipt so now I’m weary to post back shorts with… Read more
no receipt so will have to go to the library and print out the receipt then return via post office. So much hassle with no apology
Very disappointing – Have been buying Ripcurl clothing for 30years and it has always been excellent and long lasting. That appears to have changed. The last 3 items I purchased failed in a very short time. I wrote to Ripcurl, not to winge but just to say I found it sad they had dropped their standards. They couldn’t of cared less. They offered a $20 voucher off my… Read more
next purchase which is in an insult. I turned it down telling them I don’t want their money, just a decent product, their stuff ain’t cheap after all.
Poor Support – I have had good luck with my Ripcurl products until this week. An eyelet at the top of my board shorts became separated from the fabric. Ripcurl will not provide me with a replacement. Is customer loyalty worth the price of an eyelet that probably cost pennies? Obviously not to Ripcurl. Show details
Rash night shirt – I bought a ripcurl rash 4 months ago (ripcurlk at Salt) which is now unwearable. The sleeves are so loose they ride up above the elbow, the stitching has come out and the rash has stretched to mid boardie length; just looks awful. I air dried the rash after every use, no washing machine; it is now unwearable. Great designs, very poor quality and no customer service. Show details
Worst Customer Service Ever!!!! – Bought a pair of board shorts for my son. They were too big and had to go down a size. Due to Covid we were in isolation and could not get to the shop during the 30 days. Finally got to the shop and they said that we cannot refund as it is out of the terms. Advised to email sales manager [Name Removed] directly. She didn’t bother checking her… Read more
emails. Send emails to generic email address. No one bothered replying. Young girl in shop advised to send enquiry on rip curl website. Done that and still no reply. Now I’m stuck with a pair of boardshorts that are too big for my son. I don’t want a store credit as I’d rather get a refund and take my business elsewhere. Terrible customer service!!!
Not purchasing from Ripcurl again – Ripcurl phhhh might as well call yourself Rip off's instead. First couple off wears and they started to fall apart. Repairs enquirie team closed the case without even contacting me. Only paying for the name. This is made in China.
Excellant thongs – Brought some thongs online. Not the cheapest or most expensive but the quality is excellent. Much better than buying the department thongs from China. Store shipped the same day and I had this delivered with 1 business day Show details
Very low quality products being sold at a premium price tag – Very low quality products being sold at a premium price tag. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE MARKETING!!!! I've been a big fan of rip curl for years, however I have watched the quality of the products slowly decline as the greedy corporates strive for fatter profit margins. Cutting costs on materials and pushing the price up and up. Jeans wear out and… Read more
literally fall apart after 12 months, same with shorts, labels fall of hoodies, my $600 wetsuit fell apart. What a joke!!!
Great item, fast delivery – Great online shopping experience. Purchased a rash vest and it was delivered within two days, even though it's the week before Christmas. I love it when businesses just deliver what they promise, I wish they were all this good.
