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.

What's up

Adventure Division: Spring 2023 With over 1000km of coastline, flanked by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, we headed to Mozambique to chase some early summer swells with South African surfers— Tanika Hoffman, Emma Smith and Crystal Hulett. Friendly locals, incredible wildlife, uncrowded world-class waves, and still so much more to explore… Tofo is a coastal town in southeastern Mozambique. After a two day drive north across the South African and Swaziland border we arrived at our destination in Tofinho, a small tourist and fishing town 23km outside of Inhambane. Straight out of the surf we would find fresh fruit from the local vendors. Then it was on to the next session with a number of waves in our vicinity to choose from. A slice of paradise… #BillabongAdventureDivison Visit https://www.billabongwomens.com to view the latest Adventure Division collection!

KELLY SLATER | BEST ONE EVER This series, created in partnership with Inherent Bummer & World Surf League for the 2023 Billabong Pro Pipeline, is dedicated to those committed, skilled and fortunate enough to have caught “The One” at the world’s most famous, most dangerous wave. In this episode, the greatest surfer of all-time takes us back to 1991 and explains how an innocent-looking 6-foot double up turned into the Pipe barrel he’d never forget.
