Deeply rooted in beach culture, the brand want to make dreams come true for the youth of today and draw inspiration from music and art. They place a strong focus on the freedom and happiness of the individual.

From Billabong USA to Hurley International

Hurley's roots go way back to the South Californian surf industry of the late 70's. Hurley Surfboards was created in Costa Mesa in 1979 and was doing well into the early 80's with Bob Hurley shaping surfboards for some of the best surfers in the world and making a name for himself on the scene.It was in the mid 80's that Bob took notice of Billabong's long, punk rock boardshorts and, alongside his manager, established Billabong USA , taking control of design, sourcing, marketing and financing for the American market.In 1995 , they noticed a change in the consumer market, a shift in trends that encompassed fashion, skate, snow, music and art as well as surfing. With the internet putting more power into consumers' hands, they realised it was time to reconsider what it meant to be a surf brand and by 1998 the team had decided that what they wanted to achieve did not necessarily line up with the aims of Billabong on a global scale. They gave up their license on good terms and created Hurley International, a lifestyle brand that was no longer limited to surfing, but which could explore the entire beach culture scene and provide something new and exciting; making them the brand they are today.
