About:

 

Company info: Billabong was founded in the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia in 1973 by Gordon Merchant. At first, he designed and created board shorts at his home and then sold them to local surf shops. Surfers soon realized the durability of Merchant's shorts that was the result of his triple-stitching technique. Merchant understood that his company needed to expand to achieve success, so Billabong started to sponsor contests, which increased the public's awareness of Merchant's products and the company expanded. By the 1980s, Billabong board shorts were present throughout Australia.

Billabong x Sea Cleaners Hawai'i 2023 Sea Cleaners crew, Billabong junior athletes and aspiring youth ambassadors from the pacific region recently took part in environmental action on Hawaii's Big Island, helping communities tackle plastic pollution gathered along their coastlines from the great pacific garbage patch. Over 8,000 litres of marine plastics were recovered from the shores of the Hawaiian islands, with the group presenting to over 350 students across 3 different local communities. Collectively they committed 140 volunteers’ hours of support to the cause. A huge thank you to Sea Cleaners, Hawaii Tourism and Hawaiian Airlines for the ongoing support.
