Quiksilver is pleased to announce the opening of the new Newquay Quiksilver Store located on Fistral Beach. Situated in the surf capital of the UK, the 400m2 space offers the very latest products from all the group's leading brands; Quiksilver, Roxy, Moskova, and a full technical range of surfboards, wetsuits and accessories. Neighbouring the Newquay Quiksilver Store is also the new UK South West Quiksilver showroom, an additional 300m2 space facing the ocean, creating a perfect workplace for the Quiksilver team.
“I’m stoked to see my long term sponsor and the world’s leading surf brand based right by my home break. Having been with Quiksilver for 26 years and now working as the Surf Team Manager it’s awesome to have such a strong base in the UK. The new store and new showroom are huge statements for us and we’re all really excited to have them here.” Spencer Hargraves, Quiksilver UK Surf Team Manager.
These two new spaces have created a truly original, authentic, and lifestyle concept bringing the brand firmly back to its roots.
A unique design for a unique venue:
The unique entrance across a bridge drops you straight into a breath-taking barrel which immediately creates an authentic surf atmosphere. At the entrance you are greeted by a giant screen which feeds live images from Quiksilver’s top European surf spots; Capbreton, Biarritz, Ericeira and now Fistral Beach. Inside is 400m2 of floor space with big bay windows, and incredible views overlooking the ocean.
The space is split between Quiksilver Men’s, Skate, Technical Surf, Roxy, Quiksilver Women’s, and Youth, where all areas are designed to create a unique shopping experience. At the entrance you’ll see the latest Quiksilver apparel and exclusive Custom Boardshorts program where you can design your personalised boardshorts instore. To the right, the skate area uses subtle materials inspired by the streets, concrete flooring and brick walls to create the urban environment. This space holds an impressive collection of skateboards, skateboard accessories, core skate apparel, and footwear.
Opposite, a 100m2 area dedicated to girls includes the latest Quiksilver Girls and Roxy collections, presented in a cool and cosy environment. An explosion of colour, natural sunlight, rustic wood features, and a vintage feel gives this space a ‘home sweet home’ feel.
The central feature of the store encompasses Quiksilver’s largest technical surf range in the UK, with spectacular views overlooking the surf at Fistral beach. The impressive range includes more than 150 surfboards by legendary shapers Bradley, Merrick, Grace, Phipps, and Anderson. The technical area is complimented by a large wall dedicated to wetsuits, lycras, and surf accessories, with paddleboards, bodyboards, and accessories opposite.
The final touch is the surfers lounge area facing the ocean where customers are invited to watch the surf, access free internet, browse through surf books, and absorb the incredible scene.
New Quiksilver Showroom sets up at Fistral Beach
Next door to the Quiksilver Store is the new UK Quiksilver South West Showroom, an amazing 300m2 space overlooking the ocean, creating the perfect environment for Quiksilver’s UK Sales & Marketing Team and clients. The South West showroom is now the busiest showroom in the UK where clients will also have easy access to the new Quiksilver Store enabling them to see the latest concepts and feel the brand’s true heritage.
“This new space will really enable us to showcase our brands and bring it back to the beach. We want to continue to support & promote surf in the UK and what better way than to have our showroom based at Fistral Beach.” National sales manager Herman Semmelmann.
