Billabong
Which came first, the swim trunk or the surfboard? In Billabong's case, the surfboard, with theΒ world'sΒ very first leg rope. Only then did the Australian brand produce boardshorts by hand, using aΒ unique triple-stitching techniqueΒ that can withstand the harshest conditions. Opt for classic black, or swaying palm leaves, a casual stripe or a tribal print.Β
Billabongβs ambitions go further than making swim trunks (and wetsuits and surfboards). TheΒ BillabongΒ Foundation has bundled all the company'sΒ socially committed projectsΒ under one umbrella since 2004. The aim is to improve the lives of board riders around the world, with projects that focus on our environment, our health and the future of talented kids.Β
Did you know that the name Billabong comes from theΒ Wiradjuri wordΒ bilabaΕ?Β It means βa creek that only flows during the rainy season'. It wasΒ surfer Gordon MerchantΒ who introduced the world to Billabong. He packed his Combi van with surfboards, maps and tents and drove to Australia's Gold Coast. Where he spent most of the year running around in boardshorts!
