What Professional Athletes Thought of the Mirage Activate Boardshort
Owen Wright, Rip Curl Athlete
"My favourite thing about surfing in the Mirage Activate is the no rash! Literally surf for hours, day after day and stay 'fresh as' and rash free down there!"
Jacob Willcox, Rip Curl Athlete
"The Mirage Activate is by far my favourite Rip Curl product on the market at the moment. What I like most is the combination of the new school compression technology and the classic proven comfort of the mirage boardshort."
Mikey McDonagh, Rip Curl Athlete
"As soon as I caught my first wave in them, they just felt locked onto my waist and legs. They just let me perform at my best without any sort of catches. They are the only boardshort I wear from now on."
Korbin Hutchings, Rip Curl Athlete
"I gave them as good of a test as they possibly could have, surfing 6+ hours a day for days and weeks on end, never once did I get rash, lactic acid in the legs was kept to an absolute minimum."
Dr Tim Brown
“Muscles control bones, and bones control joints. If muscles on one side of the joint are tighter than the other, then the joint moves towards that tension. What we're doing with the (Mirage Activate boardshort) is recognising these certain muscles that aren’t strong enough to help support the joint or help align the joint are not being used as much as they should be. A posterior chain of muscles in the shorts stimulate the body to fire those muscles. When you put the shorts on, it feels like someone has grabbed you from behind and given you a lift.”- Dr Tim Brown
