From humble beginnings, Billabong was born; with Gordon and Rena Merchant producing handmade boardshorts from under their flat since 1973. These first-issue boardies were tough as teak, able to withstand the elements but also to absorb the punishment of the young, demanding juniors. From the 80s, Billabong went international, exporting to California, Japan, New Zealand and Europe. In the water, surfers of the calibre of Joe Engel, Mark Occhilupo, Sunny Garcia and the late Ronnie Burns have all given Billabong international credibility.
