Does Billabong Have the Most Stacked Team in Surf?

From the days of Andy Irons, Taj Burrow and Joel Parkinson, the Billabong team has always been stacked. When one surfer leaves, there's always another future star waiting in the wings, proof that 'bong is the best at fostering young talent and constantly re-stocking their roster.

While it's been awhile since a Billabong surfer won a world title, last year Ethan Ewing was close, and he's bound to break through eventually. His surfing in "No Fixed Address", a very good 30-minute film from the recent North Shore winter, is more proof that he's currently the best surfer in the world. At least the most pleasing on the eyes. It's as if Ewing took all of the best elements from AI, Burrow and Parko and combined them into one surfer.

It's not just Ewing that stars above. Seth Moniz, Ryan Callinan, and the rest of Billabong's squad rip the bag out of Oahu, and filmer/editor Cole Yamane strings it together beautifully.

While this is a brand produced clip, it's totally worth its half hour run time. The Billabong team is just that stacked.

Hit play above.
