Billabong could among many other things mean "the perfect wave" and since 1973 Billabong founder Richard Merchant has been striving to create clothing for surfing such a monster wave. When Billabong later on applied their water clothing wisdom to a rough life in snow the success was instant. Billabong creates reliable garments that work equally good in sketchy mountain conditions as in the perfect half pipe. Team Billabong Snow is Andrew Crawford, Benji Ritchie, Eric Christensen, Kale Stephens, Kevin Jones, Kurt Wastell, Marius Otterstadt, Scotty Lago, Tara Dakides, Wolle Nyvelt, Antti Autti and Risto Mattila. www.billabong.com
