Rip Curl

21/​12/​2011
I normally go in to new shops with a positive, «I’m not going to give up on you» mindset… I mean… show me what you got, Rip Curl.
Especially when the first surf shop I reviewed dealt with me so well, you’ve got competition, RC.
Rip Curl is all about the untouchable surfy who dares to touch the untouched unexplored reefs. In other words, no-​one looks like him or has gone to the same places as him. He is the classic beach adventurer with courage to take on any waves.
This store has a lot of things that are perfect for that image… the surfy image in Adelaide is a quiet one, yet I know is still popular for a large number of youth.
Yes. Rip Curl has a few hotties working here… and they enjoy helping us out so they’re a pretty cool bunch of staff here.
Products hanged up all over the walls, high ceilings, second floor just for Mens… Thus far, this store is for the surfers/​beachgoers as much as the Nike shop is for runners or athletes. If a chick wants to look sexy for her next beach excursion. BAM. This is the place to go to for the bikinis.
But it was her service that tops it all off for me. The more she listened to me, the more I liked. A wide range of colours, patterns, and designs, would’ve stopped anyone in their tracks, but with the attentive help of the shop assistant, she selected very well and made shopping a whole lot easier for me. The clothes she chose were right on the money and would definitely turn any surfy boyfriend on. She even wrote down the exact pieces and prices for me. I could see myself coming back here for my next girlfriend!
Then I saw it. That «itsy bitsy thing» that made me drop my jaws. It was the Australian flag bikini set, absolutely perfect for the chick that loves the Aussie beaches, or even for the tourists that have arrived here for the first time.
I totally see my next girlfriend wearing the clothes offered by Rip Curl on the beach. Another staff lady couldn’t stop looking at what I was shopping for, and they were both asking who was going to get these things from me. I said: «Ummm…my best friend and I are going to the beach this weekend.» It was the first thing I could think of without sounding like too much of a complete douche. Upon leaving, I felt like ripping some curls in this store.
