On a more personal note, this is happening because Ripcurl was bought out by Kathmandu, before introducing these new “DEI initiatives”... Kathmandu is a company founded by lesbian and convicted fraudster Jan Cameron (from NZ), who, I might add, is 50% personally responsible (along with a guy called Graeme Wood) for destroying the timber industry in a large part of my home state, which caused a town/region I have friends in to go bankrupt and essentially lose all its jobs, which in turn allowed hipster city scum (from Melbourne and Sydney) to buy up the cheap housing, and turn the former industrial centre into their own woke “arts and events hub, where ironically now no working-class person can afford to live or even go to their damn events (they were incredibly vindictive during the CoVax period, too, I would add)…
So yeah, Kathmandu is fucking evil, in my book, and I will never buy shit from them, or Ripcurl, or any other subsidiary ever again, even before this bullshit…
This is unironically what class war looks like, in the Antipodes…
Just thought that might be useful context.
That explains the price of surfboards.
Hey, hadn't seen you around in some time. Welcome back, hope you're doing well.
Rip Curl was one of the great Australian surfing brands. Only Rip Curl and Quicksilver come to mind when I think of surfing brands that survived from the Australian 1970s surfing renaissance.
A shame to see them be reduced to a 'lifestyle brand' aimed at normies and run by that evil hag.
Quiksilver has been owned by some luxury conglomerate for a long time. That's why they have mall stores.
They make some good stuff. Independently of all that. I'm just saying it's all very corporate fashion.
