MW you are correct, comparing Billabong to Mambo is like Vegemite to Marmite? Billabong is a highly regarded label throughout Europe, and I saw this first hand last year. My brother has lived in London for nearly 20 years and although they recently (last few years)opened a shop there he still stocks up when he comes home. Sector nine skateboards are perhaps the best on the market, no real surf shop would not have these in it for sale. People actually buy these as collector pieces and never ride them. A buy out perhaps, but this little Ausie treasure will again bloom. Look around it's every where, obviously not in the inland regions but get near the coast,mx to bmx,surf to skate fashion and sponsorship's, yep, you'd be hard pressed replacing all that if it went to K-Mart,can't see it, IMO,of course.
It's a buy all right, just not till it levels out.
