history

In the late 60’s, Australian surfer Alan Green chased a dream to  live in Torquay, make a living and go surfing. In 1969 he and John Law formed the company named Quiksilver. Green and Law ripped apart some old trunks and discarded the portions that they deemed unnecessary or undesirable. Nothing of the old was left so they started from scratch. An anatomically based pattern was devised to move with the surfer. Their innovative trunk was made from a durable, lightweight fabric that dried rapidly and had short scalloped legs that didn’t bind or hang up.

The styling was essentially clean, and a wide waistband yielded support. They designed a snap that held and placed it so a bloke could paddle. There were no decorative add-ons. There was a wax pocket, a lay flat Velcro front closure and that was about it. So Alan Green and John Law put them on and went surfing, hard at it, all day every day. People notice what works. They also pay attention to individuals who devote years to chasing a dream.

Soon, other riders would do anything to get one of these elusive newfangled boardshorts. This was the birth of Quiksilver, the genuine, original, functional choice of the hard-core participant. Since its creation, Quiksilver’s products are always created out of need. Whatever commercial success they enjoy is always secondary. From the first pair of boardshorts through the aggressive new imagery of the Echo Beach period of the Eighties, down to snowboard jackets, down to anything in the line today, this authentic performance gear. Quiksilver has become far more than just a fashion apparel company, it is now a truly global company with deep roots in the history of the demanding outdoor sports lifestyle.
