Lavigne
and

Join
Quiksilver
Huntington
Beach,
CA
(December

2010)
–
Quiksilver
welcomes
two
new
Canadian
riders
to
the
team
with
the
addition
of
Will
Lavigne
and
Matt
Belzile
to
the
snow
team.
Lavigne,
a
bilingual
snowboarder
from
Quebec,
is
known
for
transitioning
seamlessly
between
urban
rails,
park
jumps
and
most
recently
natural
terrain.
Belzile
splits
his
time
between
contests
and
filming
in
the
limitless
Whistler
backcountry.
“It’s
exciting
to
have
more
riders
of
this
caliber
join
the
Quiksilver
family.
Will
is
one
of
the
most
progressive
rail
riders
out
of
Quebec
and
I
promise
you
will
start
to
see
an
entire
other
side
of
him
soon
slaying
parks
and
the
backcountry,”
says
Oren
Tanzer,
Quiksilver
Brand
Manager
for
Snow.
“Matt
is
one
of
my
favorite
riders
to
watch.
His
style
is
endless
and
he
just
makes
things
look
so
easy.
Keep
a
close
eye
on
our
brothers
to
the
north.”
Victoriaville,
Quebec-native
Lavigne
rides
wherever
the
snow
is
best
and
takes
full
advantage
of
the
long
urban
winter
in
eastern
Canada.
He
created
video
parts
with
Standard
Films
and
Rome
last
season
and
was
part
of
the
winning
Transworld
Team
Shoot
Out
team
in
2009/10.
This
winter,
the
22-year-old
will
be
filming
for
Rome’s
“The
Shred
Remains,”
while
following
the
weather
and
a
whim
on
where
to
go
and
which
contests
to
enter.
Belzile
hails
from
Ottawa
and
now
calls
Whistler,
BC
home.
His
stylish
spins
including
a
backside
1260
crowd
pleaser
transition
to
backcountry
booters
and
natural
features.
Belzile
continues
to
evolve
as
a
rider
pushing
the
limits
in
every
aspect
of
snowboarding.
Check
out
Lavigne,
Belzile,
fellow
Canadian
Rasman,

entire
global
snow
team

the
Movie”

About
Quiksilver
Quiksilver
is
committed
to
providing
tools
for
uncovering,
expressing
and
expanding
your
personal
style.
Our
aim
is
to
foster
the
sense
of
individual
expression
and
excitement
–
the
stoke
that
is
the
essence
of
boardriding*.
We’re
also
here
to
spread
the
word
because
the
only
thing
better
than
finding
stoke
is
sharing
it.
*Boardriding
is
about
timing
and
style.
It’s
youthful,
active,
casual,
and
free
flowing.
There
is
no
wrong
way
to
ride
a
board.
The
goal
is
simply
to
learn,
progress,
improve,
and
give
it
your
own
interpretation.
