Quiksilver Backs out of ASR Show

No Comments 18 December 2008

Wow, so some really bad news for ASR recently as Quiksilver said it will be pulling all their brands including Roxy, Quiksilver and Rasins out of the show in January. It is confirmed however that DC Shoes will be there.

Looks like ASR is in a bit of trouble with this happening, Quiksilver is a huge name in the industry and this will only go downhill from here. I would not at all be surprised to see other retailers follow suit and pull out with the economy as it is now. Most companies are simply not making what they need to with retail sales being about 30-60% off this year.

It really is survival of the fittest in this world and the strongest will survive.

Surfing and the Falling Economy

No Comments 14 December 2008

The New York Times writer Matt Higgins has analyzed the falling economy and its effects on surfing. He talks about Quiksilver and Pacific Sunwear’s fading stock prices and finds out for the most part that surfers don’t really care. He points out that its really the fashion industry having problems and not surfing.

Randy Rarick, the executive director of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing, taking place on the North Shore of Oahu this week, said: “I have a little saying, ‘The stock market is down; surf is up.’ No matter what, you don’t have a paycheck coming in, you’re not doing anything, you can still go out and catch a wave.”
