About Birdwell

Before transcending sport, style or culture, surfing was as simple as “some tasty waves and a cool buzz.” The pioneering Birdwell “Beach Britches” were also appropriately simple: quick-drying and tailored for mobility, brightly colored for style, and in high demand by everyone who flipped open the earliest issues of Surfer Mag. Over 40 years and four family-owned generations later, very little at Birdwell has changed. Grab your pintail and load up the Woody — that cool buzz awaits.
