Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 8 March, 2010 : - - Costa Mesa -- The launch of Rip Curl’s Mirage Boardshort Premium Retailer Program has officially been ignited in core surf shops nationwide. The MIRAGE is Rip Curl’s Ultimate Boardshort, boasting Elastostretch 3 (ES3) fabric, STL stitchless technology, and a slew of other functions and features, making it the lightest constructed performance boardshort on the market.

Sworn by and trusted by Rip Curl’s A-Team, including World Champ Mick Fanning, Owen Wright, amongst others, Rip Curl has teamed up with a host of valued core retail partners to bring the MIRAGE experience to the next level.

“We believe the MIRAGE is the Ultimate Boardshort,” stated Rip Curl CEO, Kelly Gibson. “We’re excited to launch a program which allows us to connect the dots between our key product, the marketing that surrounds it, and a list of our valued core retail partners, which ultimately will tell the story of the MIRAGE boardshort.”
