The Meaning Behind the Name:
Derived from the Wiradjuri word 'bilabaŋ,' translating to 'creek that runs only during the rainy season,' Billabong encapsulates the transient nature of the never-ending quest for a surfing utopia. With mantras like 'Life's Better in Boardshorts' and 'A Bikini Kinda Life,' Billabong goes beyond being just clothing – it's a way to experience life.
Founding Vision:
Founded by surfer and surfboard maker Gordon Merchant, Billabong started with humble beginnings. Merchant's vision was to create durable garments that could withstand the harsh exposure to salt, sun, and sand while staying true to the aesthetics of surfing culture. From designing boardshorts on the kitchen table to selling them in local surf shops, Billabong's journey began with a commitment to quality and authenticity.
Innovative Designs and Materials:
Billabong's range features high-performance materials and innovative construction methods, available at SurfStitch. The collection includes men's and women's swimwear, apparel, accessories, and beach and surfing gear. The men's line emphasizes durability and function, drawing inspiration from contemporary skate and streetwear. The women's range showcases modern bikinis, swimsuits, and sun dresses crafted from natural fibers, exuding a balmy, bohemian charm.
Expanding Horizons:
Having gained international success and a global following, Billabong has expanded into a trans-seasonal market covering boardsports like skate, snow, and wake. Through brand-sponsored surfing events and pro tournaments worldwide, Billabong has elevated its presence in the sporting realm. The brand also caters to the younger generation with the Billabong Kids collection, available in sizes 0 to 12.
