Occy definitely made billabong what it was I love growing up in the 80ss in Encinitas loved the bad Billy’s line of billabong highlight of my grom life seeing occy in 7 11 in leucadia when he was in town for the stubbies 1986 so stoked
that's so good mate, an amazing portrait of two old time friends that happens to be two gigantic legends of surfing, just talking stories. I surf because it feels good but I'm happy to be a small part in this awesome community thanks for all this, keep it up!!!
This is awesome, aged 38 I've been a lifelong Occy fan and have supported Billabong for as long as I've surfed.. their gear, ethic and choice of pro's they've supported (Dorian, AI, Parko to name a very few) put them head and shoulders above the rest for me personally. Gordon's segment in the Occumentary cemented for me just what a straight up guy he is and the relationship he has with Occy is amazing. This was such a damn good watch, cheers Occ!!!
Love the history from the occ pod casts. Just got a smart phone 12 months ago kids told me about chrome cast Yeeeeewwww crawling out from under the rock. Sometimes want to crawl back
Great video! Gordon, my good mate Craig thinks it's important that you should know that the Fence Underground Bodyboarding Union (FUBU for short) of which he is a founding member, would sit right up against the breakwall and boost huge airs off the ramps at Fence. Anyway, great job on founding Bong though, I would say it's done pretty well. Cheers Rob
Great interview. Surprised to learn that Gordo started Cream. My first ever pair of legit boardies were a pair of Creams. I would have liked to see them touch on their IPO and the reaming they got from that snake oil salesman Matthew Perrin, dark days indeed. When is too much money enough? Overall,, great insight into the early days and I hope they continue. Successful Aussie companies seem to get fewer by the day.
Great interview, lets hope one day Billabong gets back to its routes and to high quality products as it used to do.

Great interview; lots of interesting stories.
Really enjoyed watching this. Amazing what can be achieved with simple, strong values and hard work, whilst still having lots of fun!
Awesome story...
This was great, and a fantastic companion piece to "The Occumentary"
Great podcast. I remember Kream with a capital K they had a shop in Oxford Street.
