WIN A MENTAWAI SURF TRIP
As a surfer we care about others and the environment, especially the oceans. And, it’s natural to want to help the remote regions of the world connected to us through surfing, while learning more about what we all can do to move the needle towards a more sustainable surf industry. Just in case that’s not enough, SurfAid has teamed up with the Quiksilver Foundation, Quiksilver Travel and San Diego State University’s Center for Surf Research to send you there to learn for yourself.

Skeleton Sea
Present in the Quiksilver Foundation tent during the Roxy Pro in last July, Skeleton Sea is an artist group who is really involved for the protection of a clean ocean. In order to make people aware of the situation, they choose art and overall sculpture to express their feelings. The Roxy Pro was the occasion to present one of their pieces, the Albatros, entirely made with trash found on the beaches and in the ocean. The Albatros is now going around the world following the volvo ocean race.
Besides, Xandi, one of the artists of Skeleton Sea, created during the competition a Roxy mermaid with flip flops found on beaches! She is currently exhibited in Spain.

Quiksilver awakens the spirit of surfing that lives in everyone. It’s a spirit that everyone can identify with and wants to be a part of.
From its beginnings four decades ago, Quiksilver has been based on creativity, adventure, progression and freedom. This is embodied in its boardriding culture and is symbolized by its logo, a wave breaking over a snowcapped mountain. Quiksilver’s essential qualities of functionality, innovation and durability remain true to its heritage. We have grown our Quiksilver product line from its origins as a line of boardshorts to now include shirts, walkshorts, t-shirts, fleece, pants, jackets, technical outerwear, footwear, hats, backpacks, wetsuits, watches, eyewear and other accessories.

With its core in boardsports, Roxy is a fashion outdoor brand that expresses the coastal and mountain casual lifestyle, which is represented in its heart logo that combines offsetting Quiksilver mountain-wave logos. The Roxy girl is fun and alive, daring and confident, naturally beautiful, and she appreciates innovation and simplicity. Roxy was introduced in 1990 targeted at the juniors market and later expanded to include girls with the Teenie Wahine and Roxy Girl product lines. Roxy includes a full range of sportswear, swimwear, footwear, eyewear, bags, outerwear, snowboards, snowboard boots, skis and other accessories for young women.
