Billabong inks the talent out of Cocaine, New York to a reported seven figure deal!
Can you believe it? Can you even start to believe it? Andy Warhol, hottest up and coming grom of our generation, just signed with Billabong!
BILLABONG!
Our sources tell us that Volcom and Quiksilver made heavy plays with Brixton being a dark horse to sign the talented goofy footer out of Cocaine, New York.
And son of a bitch… my head is still spinning with this news. It basically means that John John Florence’s reign is over because have you seen the way Andy Warhol threads a backside tube? Have you seen the tweaked airs he’s been throwing? And by “tweak” I totally mean “speed.” Like, he is ON speed. Like, taking it in both pill and powder form. But also have you seen how inverted he gets?
SON OF A BITCH!
Rumor has it that Warhol has already snagged wild cards for Teahupo’o and Pipe for this year and will likely have enough points to run the full tour next year.
Which events are you most excited to see him at? I’d have to say Fiji. I can totally see him putting on an absolute clinic in plus sized Cloudbreak. But I also can’t wait to watch his tweak game at Trestles. And his video part that is dropping this year should be all time. Like, everyone else is going to be ashamed.
FUCK!
Are you hyped?
I’m hyped.
BILLABONG!
Here’s a sneak peak at his video part (dropping this year).
FUCK!

Next they’ll hire a celebrity chef and a barista to design their shit
That Video hands down shat all over Danes chapter 11 video unbelievable stuff, I was jumping around the room at every bite!!! The last minute of complete silence absolute fucking genius!!!
Maybe Quiksilver could sign Julian Assange and Rip Curl definitely needs Kim Jong Un on the books
I don’t think the people that shop at Ross know who Andy Warhol is
So forward thinking! That is, if you forget that Paul Frank, Alien Workshop, Supreme, and just about every other brand had a Warhol collection 10 years ago.
Sounds like you are taking this book seriously Chad. Immersing yourself in your work, a toppled ivory obelisk your muse.
you have no idea…….
Perhaps we could find 8 hours some evening to discuss it soon?
So they buy the rights to a Warhol print and proceed to make it bland as fuck.
Nice try, Andy! But you’re nothing but a knock-off of our beloved Sir Alex Knost. Artists have no originality these days
isn’t Mick Jagger riding for Volcom now? oh, never mind, that’s his busted lip daughter isn’t it?
V SAD. Just another example of how out of touch the surf industry is with core – I have it on good word that Former has already inked a 4 year deal with Basquiat and is working on a sick edit that’s not the samo samo bullshit.
I haven’t been this excited since the ‘bong signed Bob Marley

Can’t wait for Occy to wear the t-shirt but have no idea who he is.
Listen to the John John occ cast; he tells John he is “one of the most averse surfers”. I’m pretty sure he meant to say diverse but maybe not…
Is this the same billabong that signed metallica up a few years ago.
The very same! What a roster!
Don’t forget the country of Japan!
Material+picture and caption=Good fucking article
Well, the local beachie was ok this morning, so I might be a bit surf-stoned, but what was that?
Pay attention, bro. BILLABONG JUST SIGNED ANDY WARHOL!
Maybe RVCA will ink Robert Rauschenberg, he’s got potential
Michael Peterson speaks more for the youth of yesteryear.
Meanwhile the Curl just kicked Jackson Pollock off the team for being a drunken lunatic.
