Our ambassadors

Faced with environmental issues on a daily basis, Quiksilver and Roxy riders play an important role, either personally or with the Group's backing, actively supporting its long-standing efforts to preserve the mountain and marine environments that represent our «playgrounds». Quiksilver is fortunate to have its ambassadors, acting as spokespeople for the group’s commitment on the ground. They include Kelly Slater, Jeremy Flores, Mathieu Crepel, Kjersti Buaas, Lee-Ann Curren, Samantha Davies, Alain Riou … 
These athletes take part in events aimed at raising funds for other projects, such as Kelly Slater and «Un maillot pour la vie» (a shirt for life), or Lee-Ann Curren and Surf&Hope. They also contribute to projects run in collaboration with Quiksilver. Every season, Mathieu Crepel and Kjersti Buaas try their hand at designing, as they join forces with our teams to develop pro-models in recycled polyester, which they then wear in snowboarding competitions all over the world.

Ambassadors

Kjersti Buaas

Kjersti Buaas

Kjersti Buaas, 29, was born in Norway. She is the brightest star shining on the professional snowboarding scene. She is an international snowboard superstar, known for her smooth style and good attitude. She is clearly one of the true ambassadors of snowboarding where it is all about having fun with friends, being creative and doing it with style. Kjersti is by far the most all round snowboarder in the world. Podiums are something that Kjersti got used to over the years. 1999 she won the junior world championships in halfpipe and became a pro.

Kjersti has many interests outside of snowboarding : she is a keen film maker and editor. She is very creative and uses this creativity to help design her pro model clothing and snowboard ranges. It’s important for her to be proactive in helping the environment, and that has been one of her key motivation in the process of making her outfit in sustainable material. She's also an ambassador for Keep A Breast.
