Rip Curl Signs 5 Year Deal With Bethany Hamilton
Hawaiian surfer Bethany Hamilton has been riding with Rip Curl since 1999. After being scouted at a Hawaiian junior surfing event, she signed on with the brand at just nine years old. Today, 23 years later, Bethany and Rip Curl have just inked a new five-year deal that will see their partnership grow into an exciting new phase.
“I have just been kind of in awe that we have been together this long,” says Bethany. “It feels amazing to have been with Rip Curl for this long, and it really feels like we align on so many different levels. I love how the brand is approaching the environment of young women in surfing and really supporting females in the water – that’s something we are really focusing on together.”
Over the next five years Rip Curl and Bethany Hamilton will collaborate across video projects, surf trips, surfwear collections and more. Soon Bethany will launch a Masterclass for the next generation, where women can learn from her experiences both in and out of the water – this is due to launch on the Rip Curl YouTube channel in late February.
“I am really energised with what we are hoping to achieve together over the next few years,” continues Bethany. “In the water I haven’t really set any huge goals at this point, but I’m always ready to charge. Outside of my surfing goals, I love finding ways to empower young women to live their best lives, to overcome challenges and to learn how to have fun in the process.
“I’ve been thinking a lot about my future and what I hope to do with my career, and I feel like with this new deal, I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.”
Rip Curl echoes this sentiment, and is looking forward to what can be achieved in the next five years of this long partnership. “Bethany is all about pushing boundaries,” says Ryan Fletcher, Rip Curl International Team and Events Manager. “And not just for herself, but for women’s surfing in general. That’s something we want to support at Rip Curl.
“She has obviously had fantastic success in WSL Championship Tour events in the past, including a historic semifinals finish at the 2016 Fiji Pro, but her ability to surf the way she does, train as hard as she does, and be a wonderful mum and wife – it’s all a part of the inspiration that is Bethany.”
Stay tuned to Rip Curl and Bethany’s channels over the coming months for exciting new content designed to inspire women in surfing, both in the water and out.

Rip Curl | Mirage 3-2-One Ultimate 19" Boardshorts
When it comes to competitive surfing's three key criteria: Speed, Power and Flow, Conner Coffin is a triple threat. So it's only fitting he's repping the Mirage 3/2/One Ultimate boardshort this season. This revolutionary trunk is constructed with three complementary panels giving the four-way stretch of Mirage Pro Fabric, the durability of tough Codura, and the added allure of smooth neoprene side panels. Tough where you need it, stretch where you feel it.
The Mirage Owen Wright SWC Banksia Boardshort is going to be a popular pick this season
Introducing Owen’s latest Mirage Saltwater Culture Boardshort - made with recycled PET bottles.
Designed with the influence of our home boy Owen Wright, they're designed to be surfed hard, and you can feel good knowing they were made from recycled PET bottles with sustainability in mind.
Owen is on a mission to recycle enough plastic bottles to create his latest Mirage x Saltwater Culture boardshorts, and get into the lineup while the surf is pumping. Wandering a littered Mexican beach in a grass skirt, Owen collects leftover plastic bottles one by one until eventually, he succeeds and is able to paddle out to join Morgs in the lineup.
“It’s hard to avoid plastic - it’s everywhere… I think we can all do little things each day to cut out single-use plastic. If we all give it a go, it would make a difference”, Owen says.
Made with sustainability in mind, these trunks are made from Mirage Pro Eco fabric which provides Owen with all the stretch and performance he needs, while ensuring even Owen’s tremendous hoof leaves the smallest eco-footprint.
Designed to offer our customers an environmentally conscious range of quality surf products, Rip Curl’s Saltwater Culture is created from materials made from recycled bottles, organic cotton, organic hemp and ECONYL Regenerated Nylon from old fishing nets and other nylon waste.

A Journey to the Rugged Ends of the Earth
On the Search with South American slab hunters Bruno Santos and Guillermo Satt.
“We are in the middle of the Pacific, on a volcanic rock, getting bludgeoned by massive swells. We are, as remote, as you can get.”
That’s Australian photographer Ted Grambeau talking. If you know Ted Grambeau, then you’ll be able to hear the sound of his deep, rough, vaguely erratic voice; the volume rising with each syllable, the delivery slowing with each word, dragging out each sentence until you can almost feel their isolation.

Mick Fanning's Irish Crossroads
Video from Rip Curl
For the past two decades, Mick Fanning has collected homes all over the world – returning to the same places, the same towns, the same waves, each year on the World Tour. Making friends. Becoming family.
But one place has always held a special place for Mick, and it's a place that the World Tour didn't take him to.
Ireland. Ireland is where Mick's family is from. A tiny, modest town in the north is where his dad was raised. And it's where he feels his roots.
So on his year sabbatical from the tour, while he was taking time to try to reset – to get back to the basics and get to know himself again – it only made sense that he returned to the land of the Irish.
Because as you're reading this, he's facing one of the hardest choices of his life.
Join Mick Fanning, as he goes home... and faces the Irish Crossroads.
