From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oxbow is a brand of clothing and athletic equipment.[1] Since its creation in 1985 in Pont-Audemer, France, Oxbow has positioned itself in the world of boardsports as an international brand. Oxbow restarted the World Longboard Championship in 1992, and sponsors athletes such as surfer Laird Hamilton and windsurfer Jason Polakow.[2] Oxbow's Back to Powder winter event draws some of the best skiers and snowboarders in the world.[3] The business is involved in five sports: surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, snowboarding, and skiing. Oxbow became an affiliate of the French group Lafuma in 2005.[4]
