ABOUT ROXY***

==============================================

Roxy is Quiksilver's brand of clothing, accessories, and surf equipment aimed toward young girls and women. The logo is Quiksilver's, reflected, forming a heart. It is sold in a variety of stores around the world but it is still most popular in Australia and the UK. Roxy originated from an idea to make girls' board shorts so that they would not have to wear the unflattering male shorts while surfing.

Roxy has moved into other markets, far beyond boardshorts, into the accessories market with jewelry, bags, backpacks, travel accessories, a full range of footwear, sparkling body butter and lip sparkle. But not stopping there, "Roxy Room" gives Roxy girls everything they need to live the Roxy life including bedding, lamps, posters, and other accessories for a girls room.

Roxy also offers different styles of boards. One can find surfboards and snowboards, and all of the accessories needed to perform both sports. Roxy also offers lifejackets and rash guards for wakeboarding, but has yet to produce the actual wakeboards. Also offered from Roxy for snowboarding is jackets, pants, goggles, and gloves.

ABOUT THE FOUNDERS: (創立者)

Quiksilver 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.
