Coffee with Bede

21 Sep

Bede Durbidge

Bede Durbidge | Focused


With the 2011 Hurley Pro in town we got to spend some time with Bede Durbidge before the event started. Unfortunately the waves were meager on this particular day so we didn’t shoot any surf action; instead we just pounded some coffee and shot some lifestyles. Our main goal was to get some images of Bede in the new Killer Shark Tide for some upcoming ads in Surfer Magazine, Transworld Surf and Surfline. We can’t wait until the new Shark Collection is released to the public, and in particular the new Killer Shark Tide. We made a major upgrade to the bands, switching from Polyurethane to Silicone. The Silicone Bands are much softer and more comfortable than polyurethane, plus they resist fading and changing colors better than the previous models. Here are some outtakes of Coffee with Bede. He’s sporting the Killer Shark Tide in grey, due out by November 2011. Unfortunately, only a couple days after these photos were taken Bede lost out in the 2011 Hurley Pro due to lack of waves. He only needed a measly 5 point ride to advance and the ocean went flat on him. But Bede knows as well as anybody, that’s just the way contest surfing goes. You can bet Bede will come back with a vengeance during the European Leg of the WT. Speaking of the contest, how are Kelly Slater and Owen Wright making their 3rd Final in a row? It’s unbelievable, and their performance at trestles was mind blowing. Congrats to Kelly Slater for taking the win again. Enjoy. Coffee with Bede. www.sharkbrand.com

Hammerhead Watch Review from a U.S. Soldier

27 Jul

Soldiers!

We are honored to have our Hammerhead alongside a Purple Heart


Every once in a while we get reviews sent in regarding the performance of our watches. We love to get them, both positive and negative; as they help show us our strengths while also letting us know where we need to step up our game. We share these with our product development team, marketing, and sales as they really can help motivate and keep us rolling in the right direction. The following Freestyle Hammerhead Watch review, from a U.S. Soldier who has asked to remain anonymous, is probably the most awesome review we have ever received. After reading this, you’ll probably agree and all we ask is the next time you see a man or woman who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, don’t hesitate to tell them Thank You for fighting for our country.

Subject: My Freestyle Dive Watch

Dear Freestyle,

This isn’t really a suggestion, as it’s more of a compliment to your product. I purchased my Freestyle Hammerhead dive watch back in 2004 or 2005-ish for about $80.00. I’ve had Casio G-Shock dive watches before and they all have failed after a couple years. I purchased your watch mainly because it was on sale – not knowing very much about Freestyle watches.

I was in the Army Infantry and was deployed to Iraq in 2006. I was severely wounded when an enemy grenade was thrown at me and blew up at my feet. Everything that I was wearing, including all my body armor, was destroyed and I had sustained 27 holes to my body, including a gaping hole to my abdomen with my guts hanging outside my body. I was wearing your watch at the time. Luckily, I did not receive any severely debilitating wounds and have recovered well.

When my personal effects were returned to me, I was astonished that my Freestyle watch was still fully functional. Casio G-Shock watches have always advertised that they can withstand a lot of abuse, but from my experience with their watches, I highly doubt they could have withstood a grenade blast at point blank range.

It is now 2011 and I still wear my Freestyle dive watch today. Whenever I talk about what happened to me, I always mention that my watch survived…and, how it is very personal to me, because it is the only thing that I wear that was with me when I was blown up. The only things I have ever had to replace on this watch is the battery and watch band.

I don’t know much about the quality of your other watches (obviously I don’t have to), but I would like for you to know that I hope you use the same attention to quality as you have with MY watch. With so many products out there today that don’t come close to meeting my quality expectations, it’s good to know that there IS at least one product that does.

Thanks for making a great watch!

Sincerely,

U.S. Soldier

Hammerhead Watch

Thank You

Big News about Shark Watches

1 Jul

The process has begun. Stay tuned.


You may have noticed some subtle changes going on with Freestyle. Such as, where did the shark fin logo go? Remember the little fin with the round arcs that used to be in front of the F in Freestyle? Well, it’s gone missing. The reason is due to the success and popularity of our Shark Watch division, we have decided to give Shark Watches it’s very own voice. In fact, the new Shark Watch landing page is up now at www.sharkbrand.com including the updated shark fin logo in the square box. Looks rad if you ask us. Eventually, this fall we will have the new store up and running featuring all the existing Shark Watches that you love with the addition of new Shark Watches that will Blow Your Mind! So in a nutshell, the shark fin logo is where it has always rightfully belonged, with Shark Watches. Until then, Shark Watches will continue to be available in the Freestyle Watch Shop.

You may now be asking yourself, “What does this mean for Freestyle?” Truthfully, it just means that Shark Watches are Shark Watches and everything else that is not a Shark Watch is as it always has been, a Freestyle Watch. The only difference is that we are developing a wider range of new Freestyle Watches in the future. Alongside your favorite Freestyle watches will be new performance pieces which we are calling work out watches. These new Freestyle Watches will be designed to help you train, run, bike, swim and have fun keeping yourself in tip top shape.

While these changes will continue to be subtle over the next few months, they will become more apparent when the new Shark and Freestyle lines hit the market, alongside with fresh marketing campaigns. Then the big picture of why Freestyle and Shark are their own entities will come into clear focus. Nevertheless, to start the process, we have placed our first ad for the Shark Brand in the Big Issue of Surfer Magazine, which hits the newsstands on July 5th. Check it out below, and thank you for your support! Feel free to hit us with any questions and we’ll answer them pronto. In the meantime, familiarize yourself with the future home of Shark Watches at www.sharkbrand.com
