Rip Curl Mirage Daybreaker 19"
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built to Surf All Day
The Rip Curl Mirage Daybreaker 19" is a high-performance boardshort engineered for surfers who need durability, freedom of movement, and fast dry times from first paddle to last wave. The 19" outseam and mid fit strike the balance between coverage and mobility, keeping you comfortable whether you are surfing, swimming, or moving between the water and the beach.
Recycled Mirage Core Fabric
The Daybreaker is constructed from Rip Curl's Recycled Mirage Core fabric, an 88% polyester, 12% elastane blend built with recycled PET. The elastane content delivers stretch in every direction so the shorts move with you rather than against you, while the recycled polyester construction is part of Rip Curl's commitment to responsibly sourced materials. A DWR (durable water repellent) treatment and hydrophobic quick-dry technology mean the fabric sheds water fast and dries between sessions so you are never dragged down by waterlogged shorts.
Performance Details
A heat transfer finish and engineered sublimation print give the Daybreaker its bold graphic look without added weight or stiffness. The sublimation process locks color into the fabric rather than sitting on top, so the pattern stays sharp through repeated exposure to salt water and sun. A zippered side pocket secures your essentials while you are in the lineup.
Sustainability
The Mirage Daybreaker is made with recycled PET and responsibly sourced materials, reflecting Rip Curl's ongoing effort to reduce the environmental footprint of its surf apparel without compromising on performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are board shorts?
- Boardshorts are water-ready shorts designed specifically for surfing, swimming, and beach activity.

The Rip Curl Mirage Daybreaker 19" is a performance boardshort with a 19" outseam and mid fit built for all-day surf sessions.
- What makes the Rip Curl Mirage line different from standard boardshorts?
- The Mirage line uses Rip Curl's proprietary Mirage Core fabric, which combines recycled polyester and elastane for a lightweight, stretchy, quick-drying construction. The DWR treatment and hydrophobic finish make Mirage shorts shed water faster than untreated fabrics, and the engineered sublimation print delivers lasting color and pattern without adding stiffness or weight.
