(Huntington Beach, Calif.) August 5, 2008 - Quiksilver is pleased to
announce the release of "Clay Marzo: Just Add Water," an epic film that
dives beneath the surface of one of the most gifted and creative surfers in
the world, 19 year-old Clay Marzo. The film gives a never-before-seen look
at Clay's mind-blowing skills in the water and the challenges he faces on
land as a result of Asperger's Syndrome.

Like other kids growing up on the island of Maui, Clay lived in the waves.
Clay's pure love of the ocean along with his natural talent allowed him to
excel to new heights, pushing the limits again and again. A member of
Quiksilver's elite Young Guns crew, his spontaneous, unpredictable and
creative style has earned him three NSSA National surfing titles, a
nomination for Maneuver of the Year at the 2007 SURFER Magazine Poll and
Video Awards and video spots in the biggest surf movies of this decade.
Three-time ASP World Champion Andy Irons calls him, "hands down, the best 19
year-old surfer in the world," while eight-time world champ Kelly Slater
goes even farther saying, "He knows things I don't know about surfing."

Sometimes a puzzle to those around him, Clay was only recently diagnosed
with Asperger's. The realities of life as an elite pro surfer, the constant
travel and media demands, are not easy for Clay, but he is bravely taking on
his difficulties.

"When I first met Clay I noticed that his personality and demeanor
completely transformed in the ocean - he literally came alive in the water,"
said the film's director, Jamie Tierney. "It was also clear that Clay was
quite misunderstood in the surf world, and the mission of the film was to
show the side that only those closest to him could see."

"This movie will inspire people to live in the moment and to always take the
time to look a little deeper. People are amazing and you never know what is
behind their eyes," said Strider Wasilewski, Quiksilver Surf Team Manager
and the film's producer.

Quiksilver and Clay Marzo will be touring the east coast next week to surf
the local spots and give audiences a first look at this incredible film. The
tour will start in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on August 9, 2008 and will also
include stops in North Carolina and New Jersey throughout August. All
events are free and open to the public.

Quiksilver, along with ROCKSTAR Energy Drink and Super Surfboards, will be
rolling out the red carpet to host the West Coast Premiere Party at the
Orange County Performing Arts Center on September 7, 2008.

The film will be available in stores in October, and a portion of the
proceeds will be given to Surfer's Healing, a foundation for Autism that
seeks to enrich the lives of children with autism and the lives of their
families by exposing them to the unique experience of surfing.
