The Freestyle Blog

Welcome to the Official Blog for Freestyle and Shark Watches.
Featuring mind benders, funny sh*t, amazing rides, crazy people, behind the scenes shenanigans and anything and everything that keeps the Freestyle office a buzz. We may not play the same sport or have the same passions, we may not have the same gender, religion or faith, we may not live in the same country, city, or state, but we all spend our days breathing, bleeding and sweating the same way. At the end of the day it's all about performance and together we are Freestyle, we are performance timing, and this is our blog.

The Dirty South

March 6th, 2010


The more we see of Ben Wilson kite surfing, the more we get fired up! Not to mention he’s got video editing skills galore, just peep his latest project, The Dirty South. Note the rad style and technique of these airs these guys are pulling. Note to self, no need to complain about the surf being blown out, just grab a kite and bust loose!

Lads and Lassies, the month of March is upon us and so too is the release of the 20×10 Special Edition Shark #2. As St. Patrick’s Day is hands down the highlight of March, we chose the colors of the Irish Flag to be represent this Special Edition Shark.

In case you missed it last year, here’s a video to get you psyched for St. Patty’s Day. We regret not having any fresh clips of the Ultimate Leprechaun; he’s an elusive creature….

May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light,
may good luck pursue you each morning and night.

Dog gone it, the waves were pumping yesterday! The big surf combining with the big tide made for some interesting scenes along PCH. While you’ll be able to catch some fancy surfing photos on Surfline, we are offering up some photos of the havoc that our boy Nick snapped while driving up PCH. Want more? check out the Freestyle Flickr page.

Humanity Snowboards 2K10

Humanity Snowboards 2K10 from Davis Paul on Vimeo.

A few of the guys that ride for Freestyle also ride for Humanity Snowboards. Peep this edit from them; it’s cool to see a new snowboard company pop up that keeps it real. The boards are coming rad too; their graphics are the bomb. Yet another groovy edit from the man with two first names, Davis Paul! Hmm, what does he have in store for the Freestyle Movie, Tick Tock?
