History

The company was founded by Bob Hurley, a surfboard shaper who began his business career with Hurley Surfboards in 1978. After a successful start with the surfboard company, he acquired the Billabong USA license.[3] In 1998, Bob Hurley decided not to continue his partnership with Billabong and launched Hurley International as a clothing brand for men, women and children.[4]
