Don't Leave Home without Billabong
For those of us in the northern hemisphere summer has just gotten under way. It's time for holidays all across Europe, Asia, and North America as people head out of the cities to their favourite summer spots. Some will go hiking, others will spend the summer sight-seeing, while still others will relax away the days on a sun drenched beach. No matter what you do, don't leave home without Billabong clothing.
The summer collection over at Billabong is full of hot new items from surf gear to denim to the 2010 Eco collection. And with a seemingly endless number of retail outlets and online partners there's no excuse to face your summer plans with an old wardrobe.
One of the more interesting collections this year is a line of beach wear called Surf Art Forever - Bill Ogden. The collection includes board shorts, t-shirt, hats, and wallets featuring beautiful renderings of the art of Bill Ogden, one of the world's premier artists devoted to surf art. Bright colours and imaginative scenes are the hallmark of the Surf Art collection, released to coincide with Ogden's Surf Art Forever...Summer Tour.
If the band Green Day is your thing, Billabong has just the perfect pair of board shorts. Marketed under the name Mass Hysteria, these shorts are part of the Eco line which is developed using materials and methods more friendly to the environment. The Green Day Co-op shorts are made of 100% recycled polyester and features a large Green Day/Billabong co-op appliqué. The shorts are available in black or white houndstooth.
For surfers trying to impress their new summer friends with all the right moves, the Platinum X Quad Stretch board shorts are a must-have. Made with extremely flexible material and four strategically placed panels, the Quad Stretch shorts are designed to stretch in four different directions, giving the surfer the added flexibility to stay on the board longer. Not that it would help you surf better, but the Quad line is pretty good looking as well.
The last thing you'll need to make your beach holiday complete is a durable and dependable backpack to carry some extra clothes, your sunscreen, and maybe even a good book when you need a break from the waves. Billabong carries 10 backpacks for the 2010 summer, from the top-of-the-line Hudson model to the entry level Primary. Whether you need a lot of space or just a little, one of these backpacks will be just right for you.
Summer was made for holiday so get out there and enjoy it! And when the days start getting shorter and summer draws to a close, remind yourself it's not all bad. After all, Billabong has a great autumn line-up ready and waiting for you.
