Rip Curl Sales FAQ
When does Rip Curl have its biggest sales?
Rip Curl's biggest price drops happen during Black Friday in late November and regional events like the Autumn Sale in Australia (March–April). The brand also runs year-end promotions in Asia Pacific markets throughout December, with discounts reaching 30–60% off select surf apparel and wetsuits.
How much can I save during Rip Curl's Black Friday event?
Black Friday discounts at Rip Curl range from 20% to 50% off on the US and Australian sites, while regional sites like Switzerland have shown up to 30% off. Department stores carrying Rip Curl may run their own separate Black Friday deals on the brand during the same weekend.
Does Rip Curl have a year-round sale section?
Yes. Both the US and Australian Rip Curl sites run always-on Sale sections where you can find markdowns on surf clothing, boardshorts, wetsuits, and accessories throughout the year. The US site specifically describes its men's sale as available “all year round,” so you don't need to wait for a special event to grab deals.
What's the difference between outlet and retail Rip Curl prices?
Rip Curl outlet stores generally price wetsuits and apparel 20–25% lower than full retail. For example, a Flashbomb wetsuit retailing at $400 can be found around $300 at outlets. Outlet locations also run seasonal clearance events with stackable discounts like “buy 3, get extra 10% off,” which can push total savings higher.
When's the best time to buy a Rip Curl wetsuit on sale?
The best time to buy is summer for Northern Hemisphere shoppers (June–August) and late autumn for Australia (May–June). Retailers clear out winter wetsuits when demand drops, so you'll see the deepest cuts on premium models like the E-Bomb and Flashbomb series during those windows.
Are sale items the same quality as full-price Rip Curl gear?
Absolutely. Sale products are identical in build and material to full-price items—you're just getting past-season colors, overstocked sizes, or styles the brand is phasing out. Rip Curl's E6 neoprene and sealed seams remain the same whether you buy on sale or at regular price.
Where can I shop Rip Curl sales online?
Start with the official RipCurl.com (US), RipCurl.com.au (Australia), and regional sites for direct access to Sale sections. You'll also find Rip Curl discounts at multi-brand retailers like City Beach, Zalora, and David Jones, which run their own promotions on the brand—sometimes with different styles or pricing than the official store.
Do Rip Curl sales differ by country?
Yes, significantly. Australia runs Autumn Sale campaigns that don't exist on the US site, while Asia Pacific markets (Malaysia, Singapore) host unique events like Malaysia Day sales and year-end promotions with stackable bundle discounts. US shoppers see more Black Friday and summer clearance activity instead.
Can I get additional discounts when buying multiple sale items?
Some Rip Curl regions offer stackable bundle discounts during major sales. For instance, Asia Pacific outlets have run “buy 3 items, get extra 10% off” or “buy 5, get extra 20% off” during December promotions. These deals aren't universal, so check the sale landing page or ask in-store to see if your location participates.
Do popular Rip Curl wetsuit sizes sell out quickly during sales?
Yes, especially medium and large sizes in premium models like the Flashbomb. During Black Friday or summer clearance events, high-demand wetsuits can disappear within 24–48 hours. If you see your size on a heavily discounted wetsuit you've been eyeing, it's best to grab it immediately rather than waiting for a deeper markdown.
