BILLABONG RUSH TO RELAX WW PREMIUM SS
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built to Feel Like Your Favorite Shirt, Right Away
The Billabong Rush To Relax WW Premium SS delivers the kind of worn-in comfort most shirts take years to earn. A heavy enzyme wash works the 100% cotton fabric before it ever reaches you, breaking down the weave for a soft, relaxed drape that feels lived-in from the first wear. This is not a stiff off-the-rack tee. It is a premium piece engineered to feel like it has been in your rotation for seasons.
Premium Construction, Minimal Branding
Billabong built this shirt on a 26/1 ring-spun cotton construction at 160 grams, a spec that sits in the sweet spot between substantial feel and all-day breathability. The fine yarn count produces a smooth, consistent surface that takes the soft hand screen print cleanly. Artwork on the back features a surf van graphic flanked by palms under a retro sun, with the Billabong wordmark and the brand's founding year callout. The only front branding is a discreet flag label at the left side seam, keeping the chest clean and the look versatile.
Premium Fit
The cut is described as a premium fit: through the chest and shoulders with enough room to move without excess fabric pulling or bunching. It sits at the intersection of casual and intentional, equally at home at the beach, on the boardwalk, or running errands after a session. Use the variant picker to confirm your fit.
The Billabong Wave Wash Difference
Wave Washed (WW) is Billabong's enzyme-wash finishing process. Instead of selling you a brand-new fabric and hoping it softens, the garment goes through a wash cycle designed to mimic the effect of repeated wear and laundering. The result is a tee with a muted, slightly textured hand feel and a subtle vintage tone to the fabric. It is the same principle behind vintage-washed workwear, applied to a surf-influenced silhouette.

- Is the Rush To Relax a good shirt for the beach or water activities?
- Yes. The relaxed, enzyme-washed 100% cotton construction makes it well suited for warm-weather wear at the beach, around the boardwalk, or as a casual cover-up. It is not a performance rash guard, but a premium lifestyle tee built for surf culture.

- How do I care for this shirt to keep it soft?
