History
Gordon and Rena Merchant founded Billabong in 1973 on Australia's Gold Coast, initially producing handmade boardshorts designed for durability in heavy surf. The company expanded globally during the 1980s and 1990s, becoming a central figure in the professionalization of board sports. It played a significant role in the commercialization of surf fashion, transitioning technical gear into mainstream casual wear while maintaining sponsorship ties to international competitive surfing events and professional athletes.
