(Huntington Beach, Calif.) June 17, 2009 – Quiksilver is pleased to announce the signing of 18 year-old Fisher Heverly to the Quiksilver surf team. Fisher is from Emerald Isle, North Carolina, and joins the Quiksilver family with an impressive run of contest results. Fisher is a former National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA) East Coast Champion and an Eastern Surfing Association (ESA) East Coast Champion, and currently sits with great seeding position on the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) North America Junior Circuit. Fisher represented Team USA in the Quiksilver International Surfing Association (ISA) World Junior Surfing Championships as team captain and top competing team member.
 
Looking forward, Fisher plans to hit the Outer Banks and Hatteras regions every chance he gets for photo shoots, and stalk out key sandbars during the epic Hurricane swells and low-pressure gradients that spin off the East Coast. “Quiksilver is pleased to have Fisher on the roster – he’s super fit, comes from a family with a great surfing heritage, is an outstanding freesurfer, and is also very contest savvy”, says Matt  Kechele, Quiksilver East Coast team manager. 
 
On the topic of his new endeavor Fisher said “I’m super psyched, and really can’t wait to get to Hawaii this winter to stay at the Quiksilver house and further my learning curve at Pipeline!”
 
Fisher Heverly’s next event will be at the NSSA Nationals at Lower Trestles in California, beginning June 23.
