parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this site is about promoting the Quiksilver brand. Most of the content is fine for kids, although one of the athletes interviewed gets a little graphic, citing his "girlfriend's g-spot" as one of his favorite "local spots," and lists "chronic masturbation" among his favorite hobbies. There are also photos featuring alcohol and girls in bikinis. The site's privacy policy says that it doesn't collect information from users under 13, but the registration page (which requires only an email address and birth date) doesn't seem to prevent younger users from registering. Registration is just for receiving site updates -- there's no chat or social networking. There are many links to outside Web sites, including e-commerce sites.
