Billabong Rocks.

I lived only a few minutes away from Gordon Merchant growing up.

Billabong started with Gordon's wife making him surfing shorts because his cotton one get heavy when they where wet.
A few of his mates liked them and got her to make some for them.

It has all grown from that moment

He has never changed and still comes down and surfs the local break and gives great support to the young surfers in the area
