RIP CURL MIRAGE MASON RAW ENERGY
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Recycled Performance Where the Ocean Starts
The Rip Curl Mirage Mason Raw Energy boardshort is built on the Recycled Mirage Pro fabric platform, a high-performance blend of 86% polyester and 14% elastane that stretches with your body and dries fast after every session. This is not a lifestyle-only short. The construction is dialed in for the water first, then the walk back to the car.
A DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment sheds water off the face of the fabric instead of letting it saturate, which means less weight and drag when you are paddling. The hydrophobic quick-dry technology works alongside the DWR to pull moisture away so you are comfortable from the lineup to the beach bar.
Mirage Mason Construction Details
The 19-inch outseam sits at a mid fit, giving you a modern, unrestrictive cut that works in the water and looks sharp out of it. An all-over yardage print covers the entire short in a bold tropical graphic visible in the product image: oversized hibiscus blooms, stylized birds, and layered foliage in a teal ground with yellow and lavender accents, anchored by a contrasting black waistband and braided drawstring.
A back pocket with a flip-top flap keeps your key card or wax comb secure during a session without bulk. An embroidered Rip Curl badge at the hip and a recycled woven label round out the detailing. Every element is responsibly sourced, consistent with Rip Curl's commitment to reducing the environmental footprint of its performance apparel line.
Why the Mirage Pro Fabric Platform Matters
Mirage Pro is Rip Curl's benchmark boardshort fabric construction. The recycled polyester base means the raw material is diverted from waste streams before it reaches the ocean. The elastane content (14%) gives the fabric four-way stretch without the stiffness common in entry-level wovens, so the short moves with hip rotation during turns and paddle strokes rather than fighting you. Combined with DWR and quick-dry treatment, the Mirage Pro fabric stays lighter and more breathable through longer sessions than standard non-treated boardshort fabrics.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Rip Curl Mirage Pro fabric?
- Mirage Pro is Rip Curl's performance boardshort fabric, made here from recycled polyester and elastane. It features DWR water repellent treatment and hydrophobic quick-dry technology so the short sheds water, stays light, and dries fast in and out of the surf.
- Are Rip Curl Mirage boardshorts good for surfing?
- Yes. The Mirage Mason Raw Energy is built for the water first. The 86% polyester and 14% elastane construction stretches with paddle strokes and turns, while DWR treatment prevents fabric saturation so the short stays light during a session.
- What does DWR mean on boardshorts?
- DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It is a treatment applied to the face of the fabric that causes water to bead and roll off rather than soaking in. On boardshorts, DWR reduces how much weight the short takes on in the water and speeds up dry time when you exit.
- How do Rip Curl Mirage boardshorts fit?
- The Mirage Mason Raw Energy is a mid fit with a 19-inch outseam. Mid fit sits between a relaxed and slim cut, giving enough room for unrestricted movement in the water while maintaining a modern, on-trend silhouette on land.
- Are the Rip Curl Mirage Mason boardshorts sustainable?
- Rip Curl made the Mirage Mason Raw Energy from Recycled Mirage Pro fabric, diverting polyester from waste streams. The short also uses a recycled woven label and is designated as responsibly sourced by Rip Curl.
- Where can I buy Rip Curl Mirage boardshorts?
- Island Water Sports carries Rip Curl Mirage boardshorts both in store and online. Our South Florida location serves the local surf community and ships across the US.
- What is the difference between Rip Curl Mirage and standard boardshorts?
- The Mirage line uses Rip Curl's proprietary Mirage Pro fabric, which combines recycled polyester with elastane for four-way stretch and adds DWR water repellent and quick-dry treatments not typically found on entry-level boardshorts. The result is a lighter, more flexible short that performs in the surf and looks clean on land.
