Two months ago, it was almost unfeasible that Gabriel Medina would be fighting for his second World Title in 2017

The Maui Women’s Pro got underway today in picture perfect 3-4 foot Honolua Bay – the start of the last event of the 2017 WSL Season, and the event that will decide the 2017 Women’s World Title.

A few months back, Alana Blanchard and her boyfriend Jack Freestone announced that they were having a baby boy. When the couple went public on Instagram we sat down with Alana and talked about what it meant for her and Jack, for her career, and how she was feeling about it all.

After several close calls at Padang Padang in recent weeks, the waiting period for the 2017 Rip Curl Cup Invitational has drawn to a close without the magic swell required to run the hallowed event.

Here at Rip Curl we create products that are specifically designed for a life on the road, a life on the Search – from high performance boardshorts to UV tees, to premium wetsuits, waterproof backpacks, ultra-light luggage and beyond.

We make the World's Best Wetsuits, true story. Rip Curl's FlashBomb, E-Bomb and G-Bomb wetsuits are all available in Zip Free. Zip Free is a new ergonomic easy entry system that increases a surfer's paddling freedom while maintaining maximum water seal. We've added an adjustable shock cord closure system to prevent flushing. If you're used to a Back Zip or Chest Zip wetsuit, then this How-To clip starring Samuel Pupo has been made to help you find the best way to get in and out of your new Zip Free suit. Once you go zipper-less, you'll never look back!
