Surf Stronger For Longer

Mick Fanning's hidden secret: the ultimate compression liner boardshort that helps you perform better and recover faster. 
The body-mapping silicone grip is designed to stimulate body position awareness,
activating underused core surfing muscle groups and balancing mobility, power, posture and joint alignment. 
The compression liner is fused with an ultra-lightweight Aerotech outershell, enabling you to surf stronger for longer.

Introducing the Mirage Activate Expression Compression Session!

Donning the all-new Mirage Activate Compression Liner Boardshorts, we’re throwing 3x World Champ Gabriel Medina
in the water with Sammy Pupo, Jacko Baker, Luke Swanson and Kipp Caddy and letting them surf their absolute brains out.
To make things a little interesting, or shall we say entertaining, Rip Curl’s own Mason Ho will be on the mic calling the action.
