Rip Curl is ecstatic to announce our new partnership with Hawaiian superstar Mason Ho. Hailing from Sunset Beach on Oahu’s famed North Shore, Mason brings it all to the Rip Curl program: progression, versatility, personality, legacy, and aloha.
With a blistering start to the 2015 year, Mason already has a victory at the Backdoor Shootout and a runner-up finish at the Volcom Pipe Pro. Mason plans to continue his dream of a WSL World Championship Tour berth, but at the same time eager to join The Search in pursuit of perfect waves.
