This playful range of suits began as a limited edition, born out of the love for the ocean and a desire to pay homage to the roots of Billabong. However such was the response from the ever increasing number of girls hitting the surf, that it has quickly evolved into an essential part of the Billabong collection.
Inspiration was sourced from Billabong’s seventies roots then infused with a vintage California vibe. Unexpected aqua neoprene, zip fronts and colour blocking provided the perfect template for a better way to surf and feel. The result is a line of slim-cut, 100 percent neoprene vests, jackets and long john style suits that girls actually want to wear.
Justine Dupont, one of Europe’s top professional surfers and capsule test pilot has said, “I love this wesuit, it is super feminine with a nice cut in all the right areas. These new wetsuits bring a glamourous touch to womens' surfing.”
With the capsule, the age old problem of wetsuits, once the most unflattering and difficult of all surf gear for girls, has been solved. Color blocked pastels and raw edged waists and wrists lend an air of nostalgia and style, yet the suits that still have all the features of their more techie looking cousins.
As Justine says again, “We feel great in these wetsuits, and they are perfect for long summer sessions, warm, even when it's a bit chilly. They definitely are a must have for this summer of waves."
The Billabong Surf Capsule Collection will be available in stores and online.
