Billy Stairmand
Billy spends eight months of the year travelling around the globe chasing contest results and on sponsor’s photo shoots to places many could only dream of going. He has to arrive in and maintain a good frame of mind and to be prepared for anything unexpected that may pop up. So he shares with us the things he never leaves home without, possessions that put him in a happy place.
1// SURFBOARD: Where would I be without this thing? My career depends on this thing and it’s the money maker. So cannot leave without it!
2// FINS: And with that surfboard I would not be able to surf with out fins. Love these Slater FCS ones.
3// WETSUIT: I always travel with a wetsuit. Even if I am going to a warm place. You never know when the water could turn cold.
4// COMPUTER: This thing is a life saver. Movies, internet. Perfect for long stop overs and long plane rides and communicating with everyone wherever I am!!!
5// TRAVEL WALLET/PASSPORT: Wouldn’t be able to leave the country with out this Oakley travel wallet. It holds my passport, travel documents, stickers, everything. Couldn’t leave the country without it!!
6// IPOD/PHONE: This is one of the main things I don’t leave without. It’s my iPod for amping up for a heat or just chilling out in an airport. And it’s my iPhone so I can talk/txt anyone at home or wherever I am.
7// OAKLEY SUNNIES:NNIES I Id do not tl leave the th h house without my sunnies. I feel blinded or like there is something missing if I don’t have these. I have a full range of colours cause you’ve got to coordinate with ya threads. Good for the rays and good for sneaking a few sly peaks of the hornets*!!! And then swoop.
8// WALLET: This lil thing fits in my pocket and lets me get everywhere. Money, cards, can’t leave without it.
9// HARD-DRIVE: I plug this thing into my computer pretty much every time I’m on a long flight or a long layover. There is so much travelling and down-time we have when we are away. Like lay-days, waiting for the next comp to start, 15 hour flights, 10 hour layovers, eight hour car rides, nights in hotels in the middle of a city or town. So the hard drive is perfect for all the movies and on tour all the guys have different movies that we want to swap, new ones, old ones, and clips we want to get off filmers when we film. Perfect place to put them.
10// SHOES AND JANDALS: Going to cold places and travelling you need shoes. And for the hot muggy places, jandals are the joint*.
11/ REMY SHAVERSHAVER: Oh why h would ld I leave l without ith t this thing? Not that I have a big beard, but I couldn’t let me lil scattered beard grow when I’m away!!
12// COLOGNE: Ohhh this is essential. Don’t want to be smelling around any hornets!! Or travelling for ages sweating and stuff.
13// TOP HAT: I don’t leave the house without this thing!!!! This is my favourite hat!!!! haha.
14// CLINK JEWELLERY NECKLACE: Have to be looking good when you leave the house. So I don’t leave without a couple of necklaces!!
15// CONDOMS: Then if you are somehow looking good with all the cologne, top hat and necklaces you’ve got on, then these are going to come in handy. Safety first!!! Sometimes hornets can hand out more than a sting... hahahaha.
16// SURFERSSKIN SUNBLOCK: Without this product I would probably be sunburnt to death! These are my essentials of travelling and the things I wouldn’t leave home without. Every time I travel, I take these things.
