Billabong Snow: Billabong began in the waves of Australia’s Gold Coast in 1973 and has become the marquee name in surfing. Sponsoring events, athletes, and making fresh, active-driven designs they’ve opened the ocean into a playground. Now they’ve opened the slopes, and with Billabong outerwear you can practice your cutback’s all winter long.
Billabong Surf: Australian wave-chasing board shaper Gordon Merchant founded Billabong while living on the Gold coast in 1973. This collection features wetsuits, booties, gloves, and more.
Lib Technologies: What began in an old racehorse barn has turned into an industry leader in snowboard design. Lib Tech has departed from traditional snowboard shapes by reversing the camber geometry within the board. The result: they’ve won eight awards since introducing the Banana Technology in 2007, including the “Best of Test Award” from Snowboard Magazine in 2009.
RED Helmets: Bobbleheads belong on the dash of a Chevy El Camino or on your co-worker’s desk, not cruising mountain slopes. RED Helmets are the brainchild of Burton Snowboards, the company that invented snowboarding. You’ll see their riders, Shaun White, Terje Haakonsen, and Jeremy Jones rocking these tech-savvy dome-pieces whether they’re doing double Mac Twist 1260’s in the pipe or bombing pillow lines in the backcountry.

Swimming With the Sharks: Did you know?
On August 22 (that’s today!), 1979, Diana Nyad completed a 102-mile open ocean swim from North Bimini Island, Bahamas to Juno Beach, Florida. In the Gulf Stream that is teeming with sharks, Nyad swam without a protective shark cage. She was never attacked by sharks, but did get into a tangle with a Box Jellyfish. Powering past it, she averaged 3.7 miles-per-hour and completed the swim in a little over a day. Nyad’s feat set both the men’s and women’s world record for distance swimming without a wetsuit. Her record still stands today, but hopefully not for long. Nyad, age 62, is planning a 103-mile Cuba to Florida swim in 2012.
