Nike Inks “Multi-Year” Deal For US Open Surf

by The Editors on April 6, 2010

071209M  11-2The press release doesn’t exactly say how many years they’ve signed on for but we’re sure IMG’s James Leitz is breathing a little easier now that this deal is done.

“Last year’s relationship with Hurley, Nike 6.0 and Converse provided a glimpse of the U.S. Open of Surfing’s true potential,” said James Leitz, IMG Action Sports SVP. “The NIKE, Inc. action sports family raised the bar in all areas and continues an aggressive push towards excellence in 2010.”

Nike owned the beach last year with Hurley, Nike 6.0, and Converse all over the place. We’re just hoping they build another ramp set up like last year’s Converse Coastal Carnage.
