A Timeless Classic for Every Wave

Does the legendary Ripper 5 need an introduction? Probably not. Still made in the classic surfboard construction in combination with modern manufacturing technology, it is your loyal and durable companion who will reliably support you in a wide variety of conditions.

Original FCS II Fins
Bring your own or choose from four recommended FCS II thruster fin sets, which differ in terms of design and performance.
CORE Straps
Although the Ripper comes out of the box strapless, it’s designed for our optional CORE straps.
