He became very good at surfing, skating and designing clothes--all would later become a part of his business. While most people his age were concentrating on high school activities, Tenore took an opportunity at age 15 to move to NYC to learn fashion design.
He started his first boutique at age During the three years it was open, Tenore allowed his customers to trade for what they wanted. He'd accept skate and surf gear in exchange for the clothes he sold. RVCA often accepts artwork from artists when they have it, rather than assigning work, allowing for ultimate creativity. While this means an unsteady paycheck for many artists, most prefer it that way as it allows them to focus on projects that inspire them.
RVCA promotes odd hours for its artists. Apartments at RVCA's headquarters encourage night-owl behavior, when many of its artists are their most productive. Tenore speaks of RVCA like a tangible being. That's when I started conceptualizing the artists network program ANP ," Tenore says as he paces the hardwood floor of a tastefully decorated room in the 70,square-foot Costa Mesa, Calif. He doesn't look like a guy who could nurture a company into a brand with near cult status--maybe it's the chonmage of abundant curly black hair that bobs with every movement--but he had a vision.

It seems everyone these days, from movie stars to young skaters, are seeking clothing that sets them apart, and RVCA's limited edition T-shirts and trunks seemingly help them do that. They formed a quasi mosh pit billboard for RVCA. Another way RVCA gets into the public eye is by supporting charities, which has been a set policy from the start, given Tenore's humble beginnings.

But in a interview in Surfer magazine, Hayes talked about the origins of the name. Nights and nights of coming up with stuff. Given this Greco-Roman connection, we asked Maria Pantella to take a look at the logo. She teaches modern Greek at UC Irvine. Billabong is an Australian company.
So our extremely unscientific team decided we should ask an Aussie what the word means. We posed the question to Jim Moginie from Sydney. Moginie also played guitar with Midnight Oil. He said a billabong is an oxbow lake or pond left for dead when the course of a river has changed. No one has ever surfed one in my memory.
They are to be avoided. Although it did give us an incident number: A man named Hollister was an adventurous traveler and water sports fan. Hollister rejected a life in New York and headed to the Dutch East Indies, where he bought a rubber plantation and then fell in love in He returned to the U.
