RIP CURL SKELLY BREACH VOLLEY | PRINTED SURF SHORTS

THE BOARDSHORT THAT HAS SURFING IN ITS VEINS — AND IN ITS PRINT

Some boardshorts simply do their job. And then there's the Rip Curl Skelly Breach Volley. A men's surf boardshort that you know is something else the moment you see it: its all-over yardage print — inspired by classic surf iconography, with that irreverent and laid-back spirit that has been on beaches around the world for decades — makes it stand out in any lineup, on any sand, and on any boardwalk.

But the Skelly Breach isn't just about aesthetics. It belongs to Rip Curl's Laydays range — shorts designed for relaxed days by the sea — and is built with the technical technology the brand has been developing since 1969: quick-dry fabric with a DWR treatment, a recycled blend of polyester, cotton, and elastane, and a volley fit that sits above the knee for total freedom of movement. Performance without compromising on character.

YARDAGE PRINT: WHEN THE BOARDSHORT IS A STATEMENT

A yardage print is a type of printing that covers the entire garment with a continuous design — without centering the motif in one specific area, but rather distributing it organically across the entire fabric. It is the same concept that major surf brands have been using since the 70s to create boardshorts with their own visual personality, where the design is not a decorative addition but a structural part of the garment.

The Skelly Breach collection draws from that tradition with a graphic that mixes classic surf culture motifs — boards, waves, palm trees, that skelly aesthetic that has been a symbol of the most authentic surfing for decades — in a composition that works just as well in the water as it does out of it. A boardshort that tells a story before you even open your mouth.

TECHNICAL FEATURES: PERFORMANCE WITH A CONSCIENCE

• 76% Polyester / 18% Cotton / 6% Elastane — recycled blend — A technical composition that combines the soft feel of cotton, the stretch of elastane, and the durability of recycled PET polyester. Lightweight, flexible, and environmentally responsible.
• DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment — The fabric repels water upon contact, preventing it from soaking up and accumulating weight. Getting out of the sea has never been so fast.
• Hydrophobic quick-dry — From the water to the sand without that uncomfortable soggy boardshort feeling. Hydrophobic technology expels moisture from the fabric in minutes.
• Volley Fit — Cut above the knee, the most agile length for surfing and the most versatile for beach lifestyle. Ample movement without excess fabric.
• 18" (approx. 46 cm) outseam — Mid-length, just above the knee. The perfect balance between performance in the water and style out of it.
• Yardage print — All-over design inspired by classic surf iconography, unique and unrepeatable in its execution.
• Side pockets — Functional and secure for your beach essentials.
• Back pocket with flap — Secure closure to store what you need while in the water.
• Recycled PET — Made with responsibly sourced materials. Rip Curl reduces its environmental footprint without compromising performance.
• Woven label — Durable branding detail integrated into the garment.

A boardshort that performs technically and has plenty of personality to boot."

RIP CURL WARRANTY — THE ULTIMATE SURFING COMPANY SINCE 1969

Rip Curl was born in 1969 in Torquay, Australia, founded by two surfers who made surf gear in a garage. Over 55 years later, it remains one of the most respected brands in world surfing, with a philosophy that hasn't changed: design for those who truly live in the ocean. The Laydays range — to which the Skelly Breach belongs — is the most relaxed and personal expression of that legacy: boardshorts designed for the best days by the sea, unhurried and stylish.

The Skelly Breach Volley is backed by the Rip Curl Service Center's 3-month manufacturing warranty for any original defects, upon presentation of proof of purchase.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR RIP CURL SKELLY BREACH BOARDSHORTS

• Rinse with cold fresh water after each use in the sea or pool to preserve the DWR treatment and the colors of the print.
• Machine wash in cold water (max 30°C) with similar colors, inside out to protect the yardage print.
• Do not use bleach or fabric softener: they can degrade the DWR treatment and recycled fibers.
• Do not tumble dry — air dry, away from intense direct sunlight to prevent the print from fading.
