What’s It About?
QUIKSILVER.COM is the online headquarters of one of the largest international manufacturers of boarding gear -- surf, snow, skate, and wake. Its product section has a catalog of Quiksilver merch and tells users where they can buy it. The Quiksilver brand extends way beyond clothing, though -- its name is attached to hundreds of events and athletes it sponsors. Fans will enjoy video clips of Tony Hawk's skate tricks or reading a Q&A with surfer Kelly Slater. The site also has video podcasts, wallpaper, news, and Quikcuts, a music section featuring bands that appear in Quiksilver DVDs and web promos.
Is It Any Good?
The bottom line? Some decent content; a ton of cross promotion.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
