Wakeskate Watch | Wakeskate weekend with Edgar Perez. Got to love the good old southern US of A. Warm weather with plenty of lakes and rivers add up to a wakeskate paradise. Here’s a weekend shredding with Edgar Perez from the crew at Slayshtank. As usual, the video is on point and the song is the perfect fit! Gangsta! www.freestyleusa.com

Sage Erickson | 2011 Swatch Girls Pro | Runner-Up

Big congratulations to Sage Erickson for a fantastic finish in the 2011 Swatch Girls Pro. While she would have preferred ending up victorious, 2nd place is the next best thing. And with this being her second runner-up finish of the year, Sage is a virtual lock to qualify for the 2012 World Tour. One cool thing to note is that Sage did so well in a contest sponsored by one of our competitors, Swatch Watch. Often when people see our colorfull line of Shark Watches they say, “oh, like the swatch watches from the 80’s?” We are always a bit confused by that comparison. Besides both Freestyle and Swatch having colorful watches and both considered 80’s Watches, the similarities stop there. Freestyle Shark Watches are all water resistant to 100 Meters and backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Shark watches were originally made for surfers and have since transcended into the fashion world while Swatch were more a fashion statement and they are trying to authenticate themselves in surf by sponsoring surf contests. Fine with us, especially when a Freestyle Sponsored Athlete like Sage Erickson does so well in a surf contest sponsored by swatch watch. Like they say, there’s nothing wrong with a little healthy competition between brands. It really helps keep on our toes to make sure we continue to make the best watches for surfers while maintain a look and fashion edge that is still relevant out of the water. Surfing is a lifestyle, it’s not just about what you do in the water; it is about how you live your life from dawn to dusk. Explore the entire line of Freestyle Shark Watches in the Shark Watch Shop.

Not many people in the world can say they have similar experiences to Matthias Giraud. He’s charging life at a whole other level than the rest of us. Rest assured his stunts are carefully calculated and planned, but it still takes major sack to point your skis off a cliff and put all your trust in the parachute on your back. Here’s some amazing footage all shot with GoPro HD cameras of Matthias Giraud launching Ski BASE off a cliff followed by an amazing avalanch. It’s all on the video, just sit back watch, and be stunned.

Who knew that Scott Caan, currently starring as Danno on Hawaii Five-O, likes to surf? Actually, we also had no idea he was also a photographer? It’s always nice to find out that stars like to do the same stuff we do. That’s why it’s refreshing to find this video of Mr. Caan surfing Malibu Point on an Alaia. Especially since Alaia’s really aren’t the easiest boards to ride, but he’s got it down pretty good. Good on you Scott Caan, we’re going to have to start tuning into Hawaii Five-O now. Thanks to Mike Kew for filming and editing. The song fits perfect an puts a nice vibe into the edit.

Who knew Lake Superior was holding serious surf? Check this video by Red Bull featuring Jamie Sterling surfing Lake Superior in some well overhead waves. Looks super fun as long as you don’t mind getting painfully cold and having icicles grow from your forehead. Wonder what this spot looks like on its best day? Time to book a surf trip to Minnesota!

Without a doubt, The Hangover was one of the funniest movies of the past decade. Gut wrenching laughter throughout, and judging from this Hangover 2 Trailer, it looks like we are in for much of the same in Hangover 2. Even though the Hangover 2 trailer has a similar feel to the orginal hangover, it just doesn’t seem to get old watching the wolfpack of Phil (Bradley Cooper, 36), Alan (Zach Galifianakis, 41) and Stu (Ed Helms, 37) wreaking havoc and wrecking themselves all over again. The movie is due out Memorial Day Weekend, which perfect timing as far as we are concerned. Everybody like to get their party on Memorial Day Weekend. Just do yourself a favor and and keep your wolfpack under control.
