Rip Curl Mirage Daybreaker 21" Boardshort
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built for the Water, Ready for the Day
The Rip Curl Mirage Daybreaker 21" Boardshort is a surf-ready essential that moves as fast as you do. An engineered stripe graphic and scallop hem detail give it a sharp on-trend look straight out of the lineup, while the mid fit and 21" outseam deliver the coverage and freedom of movement surfers expect from a performance boardshort.
Fabric and Construction
The shell is an 88% polyester, 12% elastane blend that gives the short genuine stretch without sacrificing shape. The elastane component allows for unrestricted paddle and pop-up movement, and the fabric bounces back to its original form session after session. A Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment sheds water off the surface so the short dries faster and stays lighter in the water. The hydrophobic quick-dry finish works alongside the DWR to pull moisture away quickly, making this short equally comfortable on a midday beach walk after your session.
Rip Curl uses recycled PET in the construction, so performance and sustainability sit side by side. Heat transfer detailing keeps the branding clean and flat against the skin, eliminating any abrasion points that can irritate during extended paddle sessions.
