Roxy or Billabong?!

Surfwear appears to be doing well overseas I see... I was merely asking other Aussies on their thoughts of Roxy plus Billabong, but good to see others from other countries (of course, namely UK) can relate

Anyway, for those interested in increasing their surfwear knowledge, I have done some research for you:

There are 4 Aussie brands currently selling our 'surf dream' (call it what you may) to the world. Quiksilver - a long standing industry fave, according to Overboard + Jetty Surf stores across Oz - has created the 'complete surf experience' (not my words!), merchandising streetwear, accessories, eyewear, watches and of course wetsuits. Roxy, Quiksilvers women's line, has made everything 'suddenly sexier', with bikinis (very true acully, I own a Roxy one and it goes off, uh, in a good way...for Brits who don't get Ozi lingo) and accessories fast on their way to cult status. Mambo, the 'comedians of cool', have transplanted their Oz sense of humour into gear that's edging out the big guns. And lastly, Billabong,who've recently launched a 'funky new Winter section, including scarves, beanies and gloves' to their collection.

All sold internationally, they're Aussie brands at the crest of the wave (go us!)

Mambo stuff is pretty awful really, I dont like it at all..

i like billabong, i have some shirts/sweatshirts of their's.

..... Ok so Billabong's even got some American fans! Now there's something new I learned today (tho I should really be focusing more in Human Phys if I'm ever to even consider a career in physiotherapy - just think of massaging sexy pro surfers... OK, better get back into it - need to find out more about how the muscular system interacts with respiratory).

think i need to by a lot of cool surfer type stuff for our holiday, shame most surfer clothes are so bloody expensive!

anyone know of any good websites that sell all this sort of stuff?

You must be brave to buy clothes over the internet.

well unfortunately in Aylesbury there is like 1 surfer/skate shop and the place is smaller than my bedroom so it's my only hope

I'm trying to make another decision here - should I stick with the current avatar (or whatever it's called) here, it's cute Or should I revert back to the 'Nadia/Shannon Elizabeth' one? (yes I know, but out of all the others, I've been told she looks the most like me, cept of course she could do with a bit of toning up, as in - she'd look just as hot as me if her body was more like mine )

Nah, seriously tho, this cartoony avatar is way cute and would probably suit my personality more.

For whoever said there was no point buying anything 'surf' in winter, I just got my hands on a really cute-arse Roxy beanie! It's so warm too, good for abnormally cold Canberra winters, altho won't be needed as much back home in Melb come the end of semester
