NorthStar SailGP Team Announces Long Term Partnership with Quiksilver
The NorthStar SailGP Team is proud to announce a new partnership with iconic surf and lifestyle brand Quiksilver. The collaboration brings together two performance-driven brands united by a shared passion for the ocean, innovation, and pushing the limits of what’s possible on the water.
As an Official Partner of the NorthStar SailGP Team, Quiksilver will support the team both on and off the racecourse, blending top sailing performance with authentic surf-inspired style. The partnership reflects a natural alignment between SailGP’s cutting-edge, high-speed racing and Quiksilver’s deep-rooted heritage in board sports and ocean culture.
“Partnering with Quiksilver is a powerful fit for NorthStar,” said Phil Kennard, CEO & Team Principal of the NorthStar SailGP Team. “Both brands are driven by performance and have a deep respect for the ocean. Together, we’re excited to create something that resonates not only with sailing fans, but with a broader global community connected by the sea.”
Quiksilver will collaborate with the team across athlete apparel, fan engagement, official team merchandise, and storytelling, celebrating the dynamic lifestyle that exists at the intersection of sailing, surf, and adventure. The partnership will be visible across race events, digital platforms, and exclusive content beginning this weekend.
“Quiksilver was born in the ocean, and that connection continues to shape everything we do,” said David Brooks, EVP, Action Sports at Authentic Brands Group, owner of the Quiksilver brand. “SailGP represents a new frontier of high-performance competition on the water, and NorthStar’s ambition, innovation, and respect for the sea align naturally with Quiksilver’s DNA. We’re excited to bring our surf heritage into the world of elite sailing and connect with a global community driven by life on the water.”
