Part of the Billabong International Limited surf company that primarily a clothing retailer that also produces accessories, like watches, backpacks skateboard, and snowboard products known as the Billabong Asia recently introduced their latest collection for summer 2015 “Life’s Better in Boardshorts” for the lifestyle magazines and friends at a coworking space Conclave in South Jakarta. Presented on Wednesday, July 1st 2015, the Southeast Asian partner explained in details about the co-founder, when Gordon Merchant decided to go into the business of making boardshorts in 1973 when he did it for the simple gratification of offering quality products to his peers. Because back in the day, not only were the typical offering produced by folks who had no interest in surfing, it was also made without a real surfer’s in mind. Through years of research and development plus some innovation, Billabong is so proud to say that Gordon’s effort have paid off, with his products dominating the board sport industry. To put it simply, their boardshorts are the best in class and are backed up by the world’s greatest surfer. Their boardshorts are designed to stretch when you stretch, repel water, stay light, stop chaffing, last a lifetime, and best yet, are made with environmental in mind. Each pair of boardshorts from their Performance range is made from approximately twenty-five recycled PET plastic bottles.
The latest campaign for summer 2015 “Life’s Better in Boardshorts” is unlike anything you have ever experienced. It is a complete freedom, and here at Billabong, they wholly second that notion as they truly believe that slogan. Which is precisely the reason they continue to point the way to producing only the best products in the market. As always, their boardshorts are stripped of the excess. Instead, they employ only functional, technical elements that will not only improve your mobility in water, but also ensure you will always have a good time at the beach. This season, they bring back some of the favorites from their sponsored athletes with of course, a renewed vigor. And when it comes to picking out a pair of boardshorts, besides function, a style that would match your personality is equally as important. Take the Slice for example, sure it is made from the highest quality fabric, but it is also paired with a design that packs just as much punch. And incase you are wondering, their elite team of surfers Jack Robinson, Taj Burrow, Joel Parkinson, Jack Freestone, Ryan Callinan, and Shane Dorian are really loving their latest collection of boardshorts. Few items from this new series take a page from the original boardshort styling of the 1970s that were made to take you from surf to sand, comes with shorter leg length, side pockets, adjustable lasso waistband, and vintage inspired color ways and print.
Aside from those, Billabong Asia representative also took their chances to introduced Submersibles Walkshorts collection that is born from their love of the urban and surf lifestyle. This product combines the style of a walkshorts with the comfort and fabric of a boardshorts, birthing out a unique piece of garment that is made for both land and water. In short, these walkshorts are designed to function when they are dry and also when completely submerged in water. To highlight just what the Submersibles range can do, this season, Billabong Asia teams up with professional skater Geng Jakkarin from Thailand to show you exactly how this product can be taken from the streets to the pool.
