Quiksilver hoodie

Quiksilver is a globally recognized surfwear and lifestyle brand with a rich heritage dating back to 1969. Originally founded in Torquay, Australia, by surfers Alan Green and John Law, the brand gained fame for its innovative boardshorts and its iconic mountain and wave logo. Over the decades, it evolved from a local surf shop into a multinational corporation, expanding its reach through licensing and strategic acquisitions.

In recent years, the brand's ownership has undergone significant changes. After a period under Boardriders, Inc. (formerly Quiksilver, Inc.), the entire portfolio—including sister brands like Roxy and Billabong—was acquired by Authentic Brands Group (ABG) in 2023. ABG, headquartered in New York City, is a global brand management powerhouse known for its extensive portfolio of iconic consumer brands. While the brand was born in Australia and is currently managed from the United States, its products are manufactured in a 'worldwide symphony' of locations, primarily across Asia in countries such as China, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Indonesia, to ensure global distribution and technical quality.
