 PROFILE
If a surfer says, "Dude, pass me my Billabong," he's just asking for his T-shirt. Billabong International makes Billabong-brand surf and extreme sport (skate- and snowboarding) apparel and accessories. Products sporting its wave logo include board shorts, swimwear, T-shirts, jackets, and backpacks. Board riders and wanna-bes alike can buy Billabong gear at specialty sport stores and a handful of Billabong stores in more than 60 countries (including the US, Japan, and much of Europe). The company sponsors surfers and extreme sport athletes, as well as the Billabong Pro surfing competitions in Australia, South Africa, and Spain. Founder Gordon Merchant owns nearly 26% of Billabong.
