History
Technical innovation has always been at the forefront of Victory®, launching glued and blind-stitched seamed products to the Surf Specialty and Water Sports markets. As larger apparel brands with larger budgets entered the wetsuit business, independents like Victory® faced marketing challenges. Maintaining itself behind the scenes, Victory® successfully manufactured OEM goods for many of those brands and others – particularly in the rash guard / performance apparel category.

As the much requested Victory® has once again become a favorite among the world’s most well-known events and athletes, the brand focuses on specialty collections built from its revolutionary KoreDry™ Technology – a water repellent fabric which enables leading base layer products like The Tropiskin™ “SurfShirt” and the new Base™
Series – which both add warmth and comfort alone, or under
wetsuits in cold conditions.
With the award winning success of this year’s release of the docu-drama “Bustin Down the Door” from Shaun Tomson, starring the Seventies former team-riders Mark Richards and Michael Tomson along with Victory KoreDry™ ambassador and consultant Peter “PT” Townend who has been utilizing the the new Victory KoreDry product line religiously worldwide the past two years, the Victory Brand is engaged in the consumer mindset with innovative marketing to support it’s product innovation.
Count on Victory® to “Kill the Chill” and deliver performance water sports apparel for in and out of the water. Accept nothing less. See you on the Victory®
Stand.
The Victory® Brand is rooted in the 20th Century when its famous surf team – led by four time ASP/IPS World Champion Mark Richards from Australia and leading edge wetsuit technology, made it one of the most recognized trademarks in the world. It’s 1980 Katin Pro/Am Team Challenge Champion Team comprising of Richards, Michael Ho, Hans Hedemann and Michael Tomson dominated the event with Ho winning over MR with Hedemann also in the final finishing fourth. It was the most dominant victory in the event’s history and helped Victory become one of the most visible surf brands of the time.
