Fullcircle was started in 1984 a collaboration between Russell Francis and Shaena Tantau who had both shared similar history's in manufacturing and design. Russell had started out with Rip Curl glassing and shaping in its infancy in the late 60's when Torquay was spawning the start of its global surf companies a time of great excitement and a never say die attitude and what followed thru the years was working in Australia and overseas with different surf companies gaining experience in all facets of the surf industry.

Shaena was involved in graphics, clothing design and manufacture and worked both in Australia and overseas extensively. A link to the surf culture through her cousin Vic Tantau an early pioneer in the local surf scene made her interest in surfing unsurprising.

Together they would create a business that still seeks to provide excellence in manufacturing and customer service and after 25 years that passion that saw Fullcircle created is still pursued on a daily basis and this website intends to give a glimpse of who we are at Fullcircle and those things that we continue to be interested in.
