For women who love surfing and the surfing lifestyle, Billabong clothing has made a point of creating products specifically aimed at marketing to a female audience. From clothing to accessories to surf boards just for girls, the sky's the limit for the Billabong girl. It's been said that anything a man can do a woman can do better, and that may be true when it comes to shopping for surf clothing and gear.

For summer holidays on the beach the ladies have an extensive line of swimwear to choose from. Billabong offers a range of halter top, triangle top, and bandeau bikinis as well as low rider bikini bottoms and board shorts. The Runway By Billabong collection is a designer line which includes three one-piece suits (the Kayla, Jordan, and Aaliyah) and a single bikini (the Ashbury).

For day time play, tees, tops, shorts, and skirts dominate the scene. Billabong carries ten long t-shirts which are stylish and very feminine. Tops include camisoles, triangle tops, strapless tops, v-necks and knits. The company's four pairs of shorts and single skirt are joined by an attractive line of jumpers which are thoroughly female. The Pigeon, for example, is a striped yarn jumper with a button front, spaghetti straps, and elastic waist. This form-fitting jumper is a sure eye-catcher on the street or board walk.

More than a dozen dresses are available for both day and evening wear. From the playful Gloria sun dress to the Rover knit "little black" jersey dress, Billabong dresses are comfortable, attractive, and modestly priced. The Ooh La La is a casual knee-length dress in the middle of the collection's price range. It is a poly crepe dress with spaghetti straps, elastic waist, and ruffled bodice.

For colder weather Billabong keeps the ladies warm with a series of fleeces, jackets, and sweaters. Woven shirts and heavier knits are available when it's cool enough to cover up but still warm enough to go without a jacket. As for your accessory needs, there are plenty of hand bags, wallets, towels, belts, footwear, headwear, and jewellery to choose from.

One of the most exciting product lines is a set of surf boards designed specifically for women and carried by Billabong Europe. The line of eight boards range in size and style including standard, short, and fun boards, with single and dual fins. All Billabong Girls surfboards are uniquely styled to look feminine yet still portray the open freedom of the surfing lifestyle.

So, if you're planning to upgrade your wardrobe or surfing gear in time for this year's holidays, make sure you give Billabong a look.
