Quiksilver Clothing was founded in 1970 in Australia, when Torquay surfers Alan Green and John Law came up with the idea of selling wetsuits for a living. They redesigned the wetsuit, creating one that was specifically designed for surfing, and over time, introduced a range of surfwear products, at a time when there was little competition.
They were successful enough in Australia that they caught some attention overseas, and in 1976, agreed to sell the distribution rights in the United States for several million dollars. This was followed, in 1984, by a move into the European market, and the creation of Quiksilver Europe. More recently, they have begun a foray into the Asian market.
The company went public on the New York Stock Exchange in 1986. In 1991, they established the Roxy brand. Over the years, Quiksilver Clothing have branched out from wetsuits, into surfwear, sunglasses, and in the 1990s, also into the snowboarding and skateboarding markets, this move to expand their domination of boardsports was marked by their purchase of the successful snowboard and skateboard manufacturer, Mervin Manufacturing. This was followed by the company's 2004 acquisition of DC Shoes, and the 2005 acquisition of Skis Rossignol, a major French ski manufacturer.
In 2003, Quiksilver Clothing made another expansion, creating Quiksilver Entertainment to produce related television programming. It has produced the 54321 action sports program for Fox Sports, and the Surf Girls series for MTV, and participated in the production of the 2004 documentary Riding Giants.
