                                 FIRST AMENDMENT

                    REVOLVING CREDIT AND TERM LOAN AGREEMENT

        This Amendment, dated as of October 9, 2001, is entered into by (1)
QUIKSILVER, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), (2) the banks whose
names appear on the signature pages hereof (the "Lenders") and (3) UNION BANK OF
CALIFORNIA, N.A., a national banking association ("UBOC"), as administrative
agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the "Agent").

                                    Recitals

        A.     The Borrower, the Lenders, UBOC, as the Agent and as co-lead
arranger, The Chase Manhattan Bank, as syndication agent and co-lead arranger,
and Fleet National Bank, as documentation agent, are party to a Revolving Credit
and Term Loan Agreement dated as of October 6, 2000 (the "Credit Agreement").
Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined herein have the
same respective meanings when used herein, and the other definitional provisions
set forth in Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by
reference.

        B.     The Borrower and the Lenders wish to amend the Credit Agreement
to increase the Revolving Loan Commitment to an aggregate of $125,000,000.
Accordingly, the Borrower and the Lenders hereby agree as set forth below.


        SECTION 1. Amendments to Credit Agreement. Effective as of the date
hereof but subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 2, the Borrower and the Lenders hereby agree that the Credit Agreement
is amended as set forth below.

               (a)    The last sentence of Section 2.3(a) of the Credit
Agreement is amended in full to read as follows:

        "No commercial Letter of Credit shall in any event have an expiration
        date later than 120 days after the Revolving Loan Commitment Expiration
        Date, and no standby Letter of Credit shall in any event have an
        expiration date later than the Revolving Loan Commitment Expiration
        Date; provided, however, that up to $2,000,000 in aggregate face amount
        of standby Letters of Credit may have expiration date(s) up to 12 months
        after the Revolving Loan Commitment Expiration Date; further provided,
        however, that, on or before the Revolving Loan Commitment Expiration
        Date, the Borrower will pledge cash collateral to the Agent for the
        benefit of the Lenders, pursuant to documentation in form and substance
        satisfactory to the Agent, in the amount equal to the aggregate


<PAGE>

        maximum amount available to be drawn under any and all standby Letters
        of Credit to be outstanding after the Revolving Loan Commitment
        Expiration Date."

               (b)    Each Lender's signature page to the Credit Agreement is
amended by deleting the amount set forth opposite the caption "Revolving Loan
Commitment" below the signature block of such Lender and substituting the
applicable amount set forth below for such Lender.

               (a)    The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of
this Amendment, the New Revolving Notes, the New Fee Letter and the Loan
Documents, as amended hereby and thereby, to which the Borrower is a party are
within the Borrower's corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action and do not (i) contravene any Requirement of Law or
contractual restriction binding on or affecting the Borrower or (ii) result in
or require the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than any created by the
Loan Documents) upon or with respect to any of the properties of the Borrower or
any Subsidiary.

               (b)    No authorization, approval or other action by, or notice
to or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required for the due execution,
delivery or performance by the Borrower of this Amendment, the New Revolving
Notes, the New Fee Letter or any of the Loan Documents, as amended hereby or
thereby, to which the Borrower is a party.

               (c)    This Amendment, the New Revolving Notes, the New Fee
Letter and each of the Loan Documents, as amended hereby and thereby, to which
the Borrower is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the
Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their respective
terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting
creditors' rights generally.

               (d)    Each of the Collateral Documents constitutes a valid and
perfected first-priority Lien on the Collateral purported to be encumbered
thereby, enforceable against all third parties in all jurisdictions, and secures
the payment of all obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents, as
amended hereby and by the New Revolving Notes and the New Fee Letter, to which
the Borrower is a party, and the execution, delivery and performance of this
Amendment, the New Revolving Notes and the New Fee Letter do not adversely
affect the Lien of any of the Collateral Documents.

               (e)    The unaudited consolidated and consolidating financial
statements containing information as of July 31, 2001 and for the 9-month fiscal
period then ended that were delivered by the Borrower to the Lenders pursuant to
Section 5.1(b) of the Credit Agreement, prepared in accordance with Section
5.1(b) of the Credit Agreement and certified by the Chief Financial Officer of
the Borrower, fairly present the financial condition of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as of such date and the results of the operations of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries for the 9-month fiscal period ended on such date, all in
accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. Since July 31, 2001 there
has been no event or condition resulting in a Material Adverse Effect. The
Borrower and its Subsidiaries have no material contingent liabilities except as
disclosed in such financial statements or the notes thereto.

               (f)    There is no pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower,
threatened action or proceeding affecting the Borrower or any Subsidiary before
any court, Governmental Authority, referee or arbitrator that could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

               (g)    There has been no amendment to any of the Organic
Documents of the Borrower on or after October 12, 2000. The representations and
warranties of the Borrower contained in the Loan Documents are correct on and as

and is continuing, or would result from the effectiveness of this Amendment,
that constitutes a Default.

        SECTION 5. Reference to and Effect on Loan Documents.

reference in the Credit Agreement to "this Agreement," "hereunder," "hereof,"
"herein" or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each
reference in the other Loan Documents to "the Credit Agreement," "thereunder,"
"thereof," "therein" or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement,
shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended by this
Amendment.

               (b)    Except as specifically amended above and except for the
issuance of the New Revolving Notes and the execution of the New Fee Letter, the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and
effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Collateral Documents (other than the Na Pali Security
Agreement) and all of the Collateral described therein do and shall continue to
secure the payment of all of the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Na Pali Security Agreement and
all of the Collateral described therein do and shall continue to secure the
payment of all of the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, in
each case as amended hereby and by the New Revolving Notes and the New Fee
Letter, as applicable.

               (c)    Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution,
delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of
any right, power or remedy of the Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan
Documents or constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents.

        SECTION 6. Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all
costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution
and delivery of this Amendment and the other instruments and documents to be
delivered hereunder, including (to the extent agreed by the Borrower and the
Agent separately herefrom) the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of
counsel for the Agent with respect thereto and with respect to advising the
Agent as to its rights and responsibilities hereunder and thereunder.

        SECTION 7. Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in
any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts,
each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original
and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by
telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a originally executed counterpart
of this Amendment.
