Nike Inc. signed 2011 ASP World Tour qualifier Julian Wilson to an  exclusive deal with Nike 6.0. The five-year deal, according to ESPN.com,  is worth around $1 million, believed to be one of the largest contracts in the surf industry.

“I'm really excited about the move,” Wilson told ESPN.com. “With where I'm at in my career right now, it seemed like the right time to make a transition and an excellent opportunity! Nike has been pushing the direction of the sport of late and I'm really eager to be part of that movement.”

In 2009 Nike 6.0 added Kolohe Andino and Carissa Moore to its roster,
and recently renewed deals of 2009 World Junior Champ
Kai Barger and 2011 Women's ASP World Tour rookie Laura Enever. It also sponsors the Nike 6.0 Lowers Pro, the
Hurley U.S. Open of Surfing and the Hurley Lowers Pro.
