RIP CURL MIRAGE DAYBREAKER 19" | PRINTED SURF BOARDSHORTS
THE MIRAGE THAT BREAKS THE DAY WITH ATTITUDE
Within Rip Curl’s Mirage range — the high-performance line worn by the world's best surfers — the Mirage Day Breaker 19" is the model that bets on visual impact without sacrificing a shred of technical performance. Its engineered stripes and heat-transfer details give it a direct, clean, and bold style that stands out just as much in the lineup as it does on any boardwalk by the sea.
But the Day Breaker isn't just about aesthetics. It is made from recycled Mirage Core fabric — 88% polyester / 12% elastane — with a DWR treatment, hydrophobic quick-dry properties, and a side zipper pocket. Everything a technical boardshort in the Mirage range needs, with a design that doesn't go unnoticed. Available in three colors: Black, Neon Lime, and Navy.
THE ENGINEERED STRIPE DESIGN: VISUAL PRECISION ON EVERY PANEL
The term engineered stripe refers to a design where the stripes are not a uniform print applied over the fabric, but are specifically designed for the geometry of each panel of the boardshort: their direction, width, and position are calculated so that the final result is coherent with the garment's shape and visually enhances its silhouette.
The result is a boardshort with a more sophisticated and sporty look than a generic print — closer to the aesthetic of modern competitive surfing than that of a conventional beach short. A design that works just as well in the water as in any environment out of it.
TECHNICAL FEATURES: THE COMPLETE MIRAGE BASE
- 88% Polyester / 12% Elastane — recycled Mirage Core fabric — The technical blend of the Mirage range: lightweight, stretchy, and made from responsibly sourced recycled PET. Performance without compromising the environment.
- DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment — The fabric repels water from the first contact, preventing the boardshort from soaking up and accumulating weight. Getting out of the sea has never been so immediate.
- Hydrophobic quick-dry — Hydrophobic technology expels moisture from the fabric in minutes. From the water to the sand without that uncomfortable period of a soaked boardshort.
- Mid Fit — Medium cut, comfortable, and functional. Neither too tight nor too loose. The balanced fit that performs well in the water and looks good out of it.
- 19" outseam (approx. 48 cm) — Medium length, just above the knee. The perfect balance point between freedom of movement and coverage.
- Engineered stripes — Stripe design calculated for the garment's geometry. Clean and sporty visual impact, characteristic of modern competitive surfing.
- Heat transfer logos — No itchy label seams. The logos are applied directly onto the fabric for a clean, lightweight, and professional finish.
- Side zipper pocket — Secure and functional for storing essentials in the water. Positioned on the side to not interfere with movement.
- Recycled PET — responsibly sourced — Made with materials from controlled origins. Rip Curl reduces its environmental footprint without compromising performance.
- Available colors: Black, Neon Lime, Navy
- Reference: 0EBMBO
THREE COLORS, ONE SINGLE CHARACTER
The Mirage Day Breaker 19" is available in three color options that represent three distinct attitudes toward the water. Black is the most versatile and timeless, with the engineered stripes providing all the personality without being loud. Neon Lime is the option for those who want to be the most visible in the lineup — an electric green that doesn't go unnoticed in any context. Navy closes the trio with a classic surfing navy blue that combines the solidity of the color with the dynamism of the stripe design.
In all three cases, the fabric, cut, and technology are exactly the same. The difference is just character.
EXPERT ADVICE: WHAT TESTERS SAY
"The Day Breaker is the Mirage for those who want technical performance but with more visual personality than the solid models in the range. The stripe design gives it a very sporty and modern look, the fabric is the usual Mirage standard — lightweight and fast — and the side zipper pocket is one of the most practical found on boardshorts in this category."
