               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT


Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference

     Quiksilver, Inc. (the "Registrant") hereby incorporates by reference into
this Registration Statement the following documents previously filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"):

     (a)  The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
          October 31, 2000 filed pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities
          Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act");

     (b)  The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly
          period ended January 31, 2001 filed pursuant to Section 13 of the 1934
          Act;

     (c)  The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly
          period ended April 30, 2001 filed pursuant to Section 13 of the 1934
          Act; and

     (d)  The Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A12B filed with the
          SEC on June 15, 1998, in which are described the terms, rights and
          provisions applicable to the Registrant's outstanding Common Stock.

     All reports and definitive proxy or information statements subsequently
filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act prior to the
filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered
hereby have been sold or which de-registers all securities then remaining unsold
shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement
and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement
contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference
herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this
Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any
subsequently filed document which also is deemed to be incorporated by reference
herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or
superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to
constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

Item 4. Description of Securities

     Not Applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

     Not Applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits indemnification
of officers and directors of the Registrant under certain conditions and subject
to certain limitations. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law also
provides that a corporation has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of its officers and directors against any liability asserted against such
person and incurred by him or her in such capacity, or arising out of his or her
status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify
him or her against such liability under the provisions of Section 145 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law.


                                      II-1

<PAGE>   3

     Article III, Section 13 of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the
Registrant provides that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors, executive
officers and agents to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law. The rights to indemnity thereunder continue as to a person who
has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inure to the benefit
of the heirs, executors and administrators of the person. In addition, expenses
incurred by a director or executive officer in defending any civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact
that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Registrant (or was serving
at the Registrant's request as a director or officer of another corporation) may
be paid by the Registrant in advance of the final disposition of such action,
suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such
director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined
that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant as authorized
by the relevant section of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

     As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
Article Fifth of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides
that a director of the Registrant shall not be personally liable for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or acts or omissions
that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (iv) for any transaction
from which the director derived any improper personal benefit.

     The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its
directors and executive officers. The indemnification agreements generally
require the Registrant to indemnify its executive officers and directors against
expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and
reasonably incurred by the executive officer or director in connection with any
proceeding arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was an executive
officer or director of the Registrant. The indemnification agreements also
require the Registrant to advance litigation expenses provided that the
executive officer or director undertakes to repay the amounts if it is
ultimately determined that the executive officer or director is not entitled to
indemnification for the expenses. The indemnification agreements also establish
a conclusive presumption that the director or executive officer has met the
applicable standard of conduct required for indemnification unless a majority of
the disinterested members of the board of directors, a majority of the
stockholders or independent legal counsel in a written opinion determine that
the applicable standard has not been met. Partial indemnification is explicitly
provided for in the indemnification agreements in the event that a director or
officer is not entitled to full indemnification under the terms of the
indemnification agreements or under applicable law.

     The Registrant has purchased directors' and officers' liability insurance.
The Registrant intends to enter into additional indemnification agreements with
each of its directors and executive officers to effectuate these indemnity
provisions.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or
persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the
Registrant has been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
1933 Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed

Item 9. Undertakings

     A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during any
period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to
this Registration Statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act, (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
Registration Statement and (iii) to include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this
Registration Statement; provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall
not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those clauses is contained in periodic reports filed by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement; (2) that for the
purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (3) to remove
from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the Quiksilver
International Stock Option Plan and Fidra Stock Option Plan.

     B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that is
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

     C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act
may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6 or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference

     Quiksilver, Inc. (the "Registrant") hereby incorporates by reference into
this Registration Statement the following documents previously filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"):

     (a)  The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
          October 31, 2000 filed pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities
          Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act");

     (b)  The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly
          period ended January 31, 2001 filed pursuant to Section 13 of the 1934
          Act;

     (c)  The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly
          period ended April 30, 2001 filed pursuant to Section 13 of the 1934
          Act; and

     (d)  The Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A12B filed with the
          SEC on June 15, 1998, in which are described the terms, rights and
          provisions applicable to the Registrant's outstanding Common Stock.

     All reports and definitive proxy or information statements subsequently
filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act prior to the
filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered
hereby have been sold or which de-registers all securities then remaining unsold
shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement
and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement
contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference
herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this
Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any
subsequently filed document which also is deemed to be incorporated by reference
herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or
superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to
constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

Item 4. Description of Securities

     Not Applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

     Not Applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits indemnification
of officers and directors of the Registrant under certain conditions and subject
to certain limitations. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law also
provides that a corporation has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of its officers and directors against any liability asserted against such
person and incurred by him or her in such capacity, or arising out of his or her
status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify
him or her against such liability under the provisions of Section 145 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law.

                                      II-1

     Article III, Section 13 of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the
Registrant provides that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors, executive
officers and agents to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law. The rights to indemnity thereunder continue as to a person who
has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inure to the benefit
of the heirs, executors and administrators of the person. In addition, expenses
incurred by a director or executive officer in defending any civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact
that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Registrant (or was serving
at the Registrant's request as a director or officer of another corporation) may
be paid by the Registrant in advance of the final disposition of such action,
suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such
director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined
that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant as authorized
by the relevant section of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

     As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
Article Fifth of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides
that a director of the Registrant shall not be personally liable for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or acts or omissions
that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (iv) for any transaction
from which the director derived any improper personal benefit.

     The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its
directors and executive officers. The indemnification agreements generally
require the Registrant to indemnify its executive officers and directors against
expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and
reasonably incurred by the executive officer or director in connection with any
proceeding arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was an executive
officer or director of the Registrant. The indemnification agreements also
require the Registrant to advance litigation expenses provided that the
executive officer or director undertakes to repay the amounts if it is
ultimately determined that the executive officer or director is not entitled to
indemnification for the expenses. The indemnification agreements also establish
a conclusive presumption that the director or executive officer has met the
applicable standard of conduct required for indemnification unless a majority of
the disinterested members of the board of directors, a majority of the
stockholders or independent legal counsel in a written opinion determine that
the applicable standard has not been met. Partial indemnification is explicitly
provided for in the indemnification agreements in the event that a director or
officer is not entitled to full indemnification under the terms of the
indemnification agreements or under applicable law.

     The Registrant has purchased directors' and officers' liability insurance.
The Registrant intends to enter into additional indemnification agreements with
each of its directors and executive officers to effectuate these indemnity
provisions.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or
persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the
Registrant has been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
1933 Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 9. Undertakings

     A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during any
period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to
this Registration Statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act, (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
Registration Statement and (iii) to include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this
Registration Statement; provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall
not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those clauses is contained in periodic reports filed by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement; (2) that for the
purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (3) to remove
from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the Quiksilver
International Stock Option Plan and Fidra Stock Option Plan.

     B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that is
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

     C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act
may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6 or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
