If there was ever a time to launch a surf brand for women, the ‘90s would be a sure bet. The sister brand of Quiksilver, ROXY made its debut in the summer of 1990 as a women’s swimwear line and grew from there, becoming one of the defining brands of the decade as women’s surfing reached new heights.
