Press Release:
Costa Mesa, CA (July 16, 2012): Rip Curl is ecstatic to announce that a new multi-year extension has been reached with 22-year old surfing phenom, Dillon Perillo.
After signing with Rip Curl just over 2 years ago, Dillon immediately jumped on the Search and hasn’t looked back. After spanning the Indonesian Archipelago for Rip Curl’s Tip-to-Tip Search project, as well as competing as a wild card in both the 2010 and 2011 Rip Curl Pro Search events, Dillon has emerged as one of the leading faces of the brand.
“It’s been a great last couple years with Rip Curl, and with the opportunity to extend our relationship early, the timing couldn’t have been better,” Dillon recently stated from Indonesia. “With big plans and continued support, I look forward to everything coming in the future with RC!”
Rip Curl shares the same enthusiasm. “Dillon Perillo has one of the best styles in the world. Add in the progressive nature of his approach, and you have one of the most exciting young individuals in surfing,” stated Rip Curl USA Marketing Director, Dylan Slater.
“He’s also a very unique human. He perfectly rounds out our A-Team of Mick, Wilko, Owen, Knox, and Gabriel.”
Look for Dillon to be a featured star of the highly anticipated release of “DEAR SUBURBIA,” the latest film by Kai Neville, which premieres this August.
Additionally, a signature Dillon Perillo Mirage Boardshort is slated for a Spring 2013 release.
