Quiksilver British Surfing Championships at Newquay
Quiksilver are proud to present the Quiksilver British Surf Championships this year at Fistral Beach, Newquay.
The event will be held over the Bank Holiday weekend from Saturday 28th to Sunday 29th August 2010 where the best surfers across Britain including Russell Winter (former European champion), Alan Stokes (UK Tour Champion), Toby Donachie (former British champion) and current British junior champ Luke Dillon , will be competing to win titles in the British Men’s Open.
As well as the title of Quiksilver British Surf Champion, up for grabs is an exclusive Gibson Les Paul Studio Guitar that has been donated as the trophy by brand partners Gibson Guitar.
In other titles Lee Bartlett, Spencer Hargraves and Greg Owen will be amongst those competing for the British Masters Title. Gaby Rowe and Beth Mason will be amongst the female surfers challenging Sarah Beardmore for her current women’s title in the Roxy Women’s Open. Alongside the surf champs the SUP British Title will also be presented.
This will be the first time that a British Surf Contest will be streamed live to the iphone over a cellular network. So you catch all the live action at www.tiger24.com or on your iphone at www.tiger24.com/iphonelive.
During the 2 day contest DC will be throwing a couple of expression Sessions into the mix with a total prize purse of £500 cash and DC goodies up for grabs.
Edward Martin, DC UK Marketing said:
“We are excited to get the opportunity to be involved with and help support such a prestigious UK surfing event as the Quiksilver British Championships. We are looking forward to working with Quiksilver and the BSA in highlighting the UK talent and to continue to assist and develop the UK surfing scene to be one of the strong forces in Europe.”
This year, Quiksilver’s presence down on Fistral Beach will be joined by Roxy, Gibson, DC, and Monster Energy Drinks.
DC & Monster Energy will be keeping the crowds entertained between heats with demos on the Monster Energy skate ramp. Demo-ing for the weekend will be DC, Monster Energy, and Quiksilver Pro Skaters including Pete King, Sam Bosworth, Dan Mc Dermott, Sam Pulley, and John Bell.
After the success of Quiksessions during Quiksilver’s surf contest last year, Gibson Guitar & Quiksilver are searching again for local bands to play live at the Gibson Tour Bus & Quiksessions Stage during the Quiksilver British Surf Championships at Fistral Beach.
All local bands and solo artists can win the chance to play live on Fistral Beach on both Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th August. We’re looking for up to 6 bands and the best performance over the weekend will win £1000 of Quiksilver product. Local Bands should call 0207 436 6800 to register (selected bands will be contacted 5 days before the event).
Quiksilver, Monster Energy, and DC will also be hosting the after parties at the Fistral Beach Bar with live rock bands plus a screening of the Quiksilver 09 Eddie Aikau movie, presented by Monster.
Quiksilver Junior Line
The surf brand Quiksilver is dipping into the Junior pool with a new clothing line.
Starting next Spring, Quiksilver will launch more than 100 pieces intended to complement the surf styles from the company’s existing junior girls label, Roxy, and serve styles to a more contemporary look sold under its label.
It appears that Quiksilver isn’t concerned that the line might cannibalize sales of Roxy and its young contemporary business. Although Roxy targets a 17-year-old customer, the junior collection aims to reach a 19-year-old, and the young contemporary line pursues women age 25 who have outgrown Roxy and other junior brands.
Prices are set similarly to Roxy,with the junior line offers a variety of “modern coastal classics.” Whimsical prints in subdued colors. Psychedelic screen prints of doves in brilliant hues, bi-color geometric pattern reminiscent of Moroccan landscapes and a collage of pastel-colored flowers.
There are 108 items in the line, and the majority of it is sportswear comprised of denim, shorts, dresses, wovens, fleece, and some knits.
With the ever growing opportunity in the junior market we think this is a wise move, offering young, fun, California styles for the average teenager.
David Rutherford
Local standout David Rutherford (Puerto Escondido, Mexico), 25, charged to victory at his home break today to clinch an emphatic win at the ASP 4-Star Quiksilver Pro Puerto Escondido.
His win topped international standouts Kevin Sullivan (Lahaina, HA), 23, Casey Brown (Kona, HI), 22, and Ricardo dos Santos (BRA), 20, in excellent four-to-six foot high-performance barrels. The Quiksilver Pro Puerto Escondido’s unique location on the Mexican Pipeline attracted a big list of up-and-coming competitors, an assemblage of local talent and several of the world’s most renowned big-wave surfers.
Rutherford, who was a Quiksilver Pro Puerto Escondido wildcard entry, went on an absolute tear during the final day of competition, threading a perfect 10-point ride on an amazing backside barrel in his semifinal heat before amassing the highest heat total of the entire event in the final, a near-flawless 18.45 out of 20 to secure the victory.
Quiksilver Puerto Escondido
The Mexican Pipeline charger was thrilled to clinch the major ASP victory in front of his home crowd to bring this year’s Quiksilver Pro Puerto Escondido title to Mexico while representing the local surfers.
Quiksilver & Standard Collection
We saw this story over at Freshness Mag - so we hope they won’t mind us piggy backing on some of their exclusive clothing news.
The Standard hotel (which really is one hell of a trendy place to stay) has teamed up with Quiksilver to install a collaborative vending machine by the hotel’s pools to help out the fellas who left something behind at home.
This year, the duo continues on their collaboration and rolls out four new swimming trunks (Cut shorter and in a more pulled together mid-thigh length, the flappy, baggy ones are better left for college and high school boys) for the guests of the pool.
Aside from swimming trunks the new Standard & Quiksilver collaborative collection also includes a pair of Wayfarer shades and suncare products from Shishedo.

Think we might be having a chat with Quiksilver to see if we can get one down at Boscombe Beach !!
