About Billabong
Boardshorts here trace back to actual surf culture, not a marketing team's idea of it — Billabong started in Australia in the 1970s making shorts for surfers who needed something that could survive saltwater and paddling out every day. That heritage still shows in the catalog: boardshorts, wetsuits, and surf-ready tees sit alongside a broader lineup of casual apparel, backpacks, and footwear for anyone who just likes the look.
Prices are accessible mid-range, and sales show up often enough that patient shoppers rarely pay full price. One thing to watch: sizing on wetsuits and fitted pieces runs differently across their various sub-lines, so check the specific size chart for the item rather than assuming your usual size. It works equally well for people who actually surf and people who just want durable, beach-ready basics.
What they sell
- Boardshorts and swim trunks
- Wetsuits and rash guards
