Hi, I know alot of info about what you need to know Moodi Blu
1. The current Australian GM Shannan North is a part owner of JS surfboards. This brand also makes T/ shirt, deckgrips and caps which is in direct competion with Billabong and associated owned companies. This is a conflict of interest from what I can tell.
2. Nathan Webster is the RVCA marketing manager (owned by Billabong) and he is also a part owner of a surf / fishing brand called "Mad Hueys". From my sources it appears that he is designing clothes and sourcing products from China. This is also a conflict of interest. The Brand managerof RVCA Paul Burdekin is aware of this but has done nothing about it.
3. If the powers to be say they dont know about any of this it is a lie as many of the them ride JS boards because Shannan gives Billabong workers discounted boards.
Hope this helps.
