Rip Curl Announces Mirage Boardshort Premium Retailer Partnership Program

Costa Mesa, CA: 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. Each MIRAGE Premium Retail Partner will have a custom MIRAGE 4-way fixture, custom MIRAGE POP, and a plug on our official MIRAGE microsite: www.ripcurl.com/mirage

“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.”
