Redback Surf kicked off back in the 90s on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, right in the middle of a buzzing surf scene around Newport and Mona Vale. It took its name from the iconic Aussie redback spider, and from the get-go, the brand was all about bold style and having fun—“There’s no antidote for fun,” as they say. Redback designed gear that was tough, affordable, and easy to use, whether you were already shredding or new to surfing.
These guys made a splash by introducing the first affordable, high-temp vulcanised EVA slick bodyboard—pretty ground breaking stuff for bodyboarding. Redback became famous for their soft surfboards and foam boards, especially the Malibu and Revolution series, which are heaps or fun for advanced learners wanting to perfect their style; and great for experienced surfers in sloppy conditions or wanting to mix up there quiver and catch more waves. Their lineup grew to include bodyboards, surfboards, longboards, skimboards, SUPs, leashes, and surf mats, all rocking vibrant designs that scream Aussie surf culture.
Redback Surf isn’t an elitest surf brand like some — its niche has been making accessible, quality gear for everyday beachgoers and surfers, youth and families.
Instead of going for high-priced elite surfers, Redback focused on keeping things real, quality, affordable and value. The first and still the only bodyboard to offer a lifetime warranty.
At Adrenalin these are important values that we hold precious for our customers who want the best dollar for dollar value and performance.
Making sure everyone could get in on the action and enjoy the surf. That’s what Redback is all about—good times, community, and the laid-back spirit at the heart of the local surf scene.
Redback has always been ahead of the game with it innovations and revolutions with performance design and construction. The Stinger 360° evokes the best in innovation, constructed under 200 tonne heat compression mould which ensures perfect lamination and tensile strength to the inner core.
The patented slick shape provides two unique benefits the first being the speed and agility from the single concave which separates to two speed channels down either side. The second feature is the complex curves on the underside which add strength and agility without the need for stringers. This results in incredibly fast, light, beast of a board.
