      |   Billabong was founded on Australia's Gold Coast in 1973 by surfer and surfboard shaper Gordon Merchant. The original logo, which is still used today, was created by him also. Those early days were rather inauspicious, with the pair designing boardshorts at home, cutting them out on the kitchen table and then carting the finished product around to the local surf shop to sell. From humble beggings, the Billabong brand was born. Within two years of creating the boardshorts, the compnay had their first clothes factory. Since then it has grown and grown into one of the largest surf clothing producers in the world. Billabong tshirts, flip flops, shorts, flip flops & their range of accessories such as Billaong wallets, pirses, bags and hats are common site around the beaches and cities of the world. The clothing range now covers mens clothing, womens clothing and childrens clothing.Here at Roksport Surf, based in Swansea, we offer a wide range of Billabong surf clothing & accessories.

Billabong Clothing Company History In 1973 Gordon and Rena Merchant began producing handmade boardshorts under their flat overlooking his beloved Burleigh. They were tough as teak, able to withstand not only the elements, but also able to absorb the sort of punishment that local juniors Guy Omerod and Rabbit Bartholomew would put those first issued trunks through. From those humble beginnings, Billabong was born. Gordon buried himself in his North Burleigh factory for the next few years and Billabong gradually made ground on the more established labels. His no frills, practical approach to boardshort manufacturing paid dividends, as Billabong grew steadily until his little homespun factory literally burst at the seams. During the 80’s Billabong went International, firstly exporting to California, Japan, New Zealand and Europe and then finally licensing, but only after each international licensee had achieved Gordon’s benchmark of dedication, honesty and prudent business savvy. As we entered the 90’s, Billabong had well and truly assumed #1 status in Australian waters and had further consolidated on the International scene. On it’s 25th Anniversary in 1998, Billabong moved into the new premises at 1 Billabong Place, Burleigh Heads, featuring a state of the art new factory. One feature of the new complex is the Polynesian style Retail Showroom, that stands proudly at the forefront of the factory, displaying the largest range of Billabong product anywhere in the world. Billabong is involved in many promotions, but one thing that underpins the respect the company enjoys in the marketplace, is Billabong’s commitment to pro boardsports and its team riders Animal T-ShirtsAnimal HoodiesAnimal ShortsAnimal HatsAnimal JeansAnimal Accessories Billabong T-ShirtsBillabong HoodiesBillabong ShortsBillabong HatsBillabong JeansBillabong Accessories Weird Fish T-ShirtsWeird Fish HoodiesWeird Fish ShortsWeird Fish HatsWeird Fish JeansWeird Fish AccessoriesSunwise SunglassesIcon 77 accessoriesMaru Swimwear      © 2009 Roksport Surf - Clothing & Accessories Contact Us | Privacy Policy | Terms & Conds | Site Map Roksport Surf 7-8 Caer Street Castle Gardens Swansea SA1 3PP 01792 458600 | Shopping CartItems:, Value: |
