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.

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.
