Authentic Expands Partnership with Blue Sage Accessories to Develop Wetsuits for Roxy, Quiksilver and Volcom
The growing partnership will also include an expanded list of accessories for Quiksilver, RVCA and Billabong
Authentic Brands Group (Authentic), a global brand development and licensing platform, today announced a multi-brand expansion of its longstanding partnership with Blue Sage Accessories LLC (BSA), a leading designer and manufacturer of performance and lifestyle accessories. Through the expanded agreement, BSA will produce wetsuits, a core performance category, for Roxy, Quiksilver and Volcom in the U.S.
“Wetsuits sit at the heart of Roxy, Quiksilver and Volcom’s legacy—iconic brands shaped by cold dawn surf checks, breakthrough athlete moments and decades of pushing performance boundaries,” said David Brooks, EVP, Action and Outdoor Sports, Lifestyle at Authentic. “As one of the most technically demanding categories in board sports, wetsuits frequently define how athletes experience the ocean and how these brands show up in the water. Expanding this category with BSA underscores our continued trust in their ability to deliver high-quality, innovative products that resonate with our consumers globally.”
In addition to wetsuits, BSA will produce additional cold weather and fashion accessories for Quiksilver, RVCA and Billabong in the U.S.
“We’re honored to deepen our relationship with Authentic and its powerful portfolio of brands,” said Kelly Grismer, CEO at BSA. “Together, we look forward to growing these categories and bringing tech-forward, performance-driven products to consumers who live and breathe the outdoors and adventure.”
By expanding its partnership with BSA in these categories, Authentic marks a step forward in strengthening its iconic surf ecosystem with gear that embodies innovation, durability and the pioneering spirit that has powered its brands for generations. It underscores the company’s commitment to elevating and extending its brands in categories that foster meaningful consumer connections through best-in-class partners with deep expertise and category leadership.
Roxy, Quiksilver and Volcom wetsuits will be available for men, women and kids from December 2025 and new accessory categories for Quiksilver, RVCA and Billabong will be available from December 15 direct-to-consumer and at specialty retailers.
