Q2 Brand Highlights
• Quiksilver announced the re-signing of 25-year-old surfer Dane Reynolds to a 6-year deal to continue riding for the Quiksilver surf team and to contribute to the design and development of a new signature line of products. Dane is thought by many to be the most influential surfer in the world today.
• Quiksilver also announced the re-signing of 23-year old French surfer Jeremy Flores to a new endorsement contract. Sponsored by Quiksilver since the age of 9, Jeremy was the youngest surfer ever to qualify for the ASP (Association of Surfing Professionals) World Tour in 2007. In December, Jeremy became the first European surfer to win the prestigious Pipe Masters contest in Hawaii, which helped him to finish 9th in the ASP World Tour rankings last year.
• Australian Roxy surfer Sally Fitzgibbons has won two of the first five events in the 2011 ASP Women's World Tour and is currently ranked #2 in the world. Sally's next opportunity to improve upon her current standing will be in July at the Roxy Pro in Biarritz, France.
• The Street League DC Pro Tour had a very successful kick-off in Seattle to its second season of skateboarding competitions. The finals were carried live on ESPN and the next event is slated for June 11-12 in Kansas City.
