Quiksilver Apparel and Equipment

Quiksilver is one of the world's leading outdoor sports lifestyle brands, specializing in surfing, snowboarding, and skating culture. Founded in Australia in 1969, the brand quickly became a global powerhouse, synonymous with salt water, mountains, and a spirit of adventure. The company revolutionized technical boardshorts and expanded into a full range of apparel, footwear, and winter sports equipment.

While the brand was born on the beaches of Victoria, Australia, manufacturing currently takes place in multiple countries across Asia and South America to meet global demand. Following a period of ownership by Oaktree Capital Management and a merger with Billabong, Quiksilver became part of Boardriders, Inc. In 2023, the brand reached a new chapter when it was acquired by Authentic Brands Group. Today, Quiksilver operates as a premier lifestyle brand under a licensing model, maintaining its heritage while being managed by one of the largest brand management firms in the world, headquartered in the United States.
