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.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day 2010

March 17th, 2010


While the Ultimate Leprechaun has entered into a semi-retirement faze, his memory still lives on in this triple whammy board riding extravaganza. Though he’s keeping a low profile this year, the leprechaun is happy to know that his legacy is living on in the 20×10 Special Edition Shark. Of course, if you’re not into special editions’, there’s also the original Green Shark that is sure to bring luck your way.

Shreddy in the Pacific Northwest

March 15th, 2010



Where exactly this is we have no clue, but looks like Teddy Navarro and crew found some fun waves. Sounds like some of the locals in the area got a little eggy, but their fussing is premature, Teddy said he’d have to kill me if he told me where these spots are, he wouldn’t even tell us which State they were in!

We are stoked to have a guy like Bede on the program, and honored to make the Durbo Watch in his name. Here’s to Bede bringing home the 2010 World Title!
