SURF, SNOW & SKI: QUIKSILVER WELCOMES 21 NEW RIDERS TO ITS LEGENDARY TEAM
Salad Days

In the last twelve months, Quiksilver has added 21 new faces to the team. Some surf. Some snowboard. Some ski. Some foil.

These athletes from around the world join the brand’s roster of over 70 riders worldwide. From rising juniors to world-class talents, the new additions – alongside renewed contracts with key riders like Marco Mignot, Kanoa Igarashi and Rio Waida – bring the team to over 70 athletes worldwide, representing the full spectrum of modern surf and snow culture. A new generation, same DNA: style, performance and connection to the wave and the mountain.

SURF
Quiksilver is proud to welcome Kai Odriozola (FR), waterman Matt Etxebarne (FR), Ruben Husson (FR), Zackary Pommier (FR), foil-surfers Tom and Aleks Claus (AUT), Petey Romaniuk (USA), Marco Menendez (CR), Kai Berry (HAW), Rylan Beavers (HAW), Luca Martin (AUS), Harry Stephens (AUS) and Lennox Lindsay (AUS). Among Quiksilver 2026’s renewed contracts: 2025’s Rookie of the Year Marco Mignot (FR), WSL Championship Tour surfers Rio Waida (ID) and Kanoa Igarashi (JAP), and Aritz Aranburu (SP), Dylan Donegan (SP), Francisco Ordonhas (POR), Rocco Rigliaco (ITA), Hugo Flori (FR), Michael Dunphy (USA), Andy Nieblas (USA) and Makana Franzmann (HAW). Quiksilver’s surf team now totals over 50 riders across six continents. From Juniors to World Title contenders and from freesurfers to some of the lesser-known faces holding it down in their local zone, the team represents everything we love about surfing.

ABOUT QUIKSILVER
It is the original surf company. Born in Australia in 1969, when the world’s first pair of boardshorts was stitched together, Quiksilver helped define a new way of living. To this day, the iconic logo remains a symbol of that lifestyle. They make products that connect people to the mountain and the wave, and to the culture that surrounds those places.
