In the third announcement of its kind in the last 2 years, a major Quiksilver team rider has parted ways with the brand. It hasn’t been a great few years for Quik- first Kelly left, then Dane, then bankruptcy and now Craig Ando. This will undoubtedly open up a big pool of Quik budget that has been otherwise engaged and we’ve heard on the grape vine that they are currently finalising a big new signing.

In terms of Craig, has been predicted that he will probably join Dane’s new brand,  which is pretty exciting news as it opens up the possibility for all manner of enjoyable creative collab’s with Dane and Ando at the helm and no cooperate big wigs or marketing guys directing their content.
