Quiksilver is a legendary brand born from Australia’s surf culture, founded in 1970 by surfers Alan Green and John Law near Torquay, Victoria. Driven by a passion for the ocean and a desire to make a living doing what they loved, the pair began producing high-quality, functional surf shorts that quickly gained cult status among top riders worldwide. The iconic Quiksilver logo—a wave breaking before a snow-capped mountain—was inspired by a woodcut by Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai and symbolises the brand’s dual dedication to surf and snow.
By 1986, Quiksilver had expanded its horizons to the mountains, launching a snowboarding apparel line that brought the same style, innovation and technical performance to winter sports. Today, Quiksilver is synonymous with boardsports, offering stylish and durable gear ranging from wetsuits and surfboards to snowboard jackets and beachwear. Whether you're riding waves or carving slopes, Quiksilver blends original design with high-performance features to support your adventure.
