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.
A lot of you keep asking when we are going to make something besides radical watches so we listened and went for it! Hot off the presses, introducing the very limited edition Freestyle Eyewear. These things are so fresh we forgot to give ‘em a proper name! So we’ll leave it up to you? Leave a comment with your name suggestion, if we pick your suggestion we’ll send you a pair of Sunglasses and a Shark 80’s Watch for Free! We will announce the winner May 20th. Get them while they’re hot!
Wow this hits close to home. Our hearts and prayers go out this poor guy and his family. Freestyle headquarters is only about an hour away from Solana Beach, I’ve surfed there several times. Usually I hit Seaside Reef, but I have surfed in the area that this poor guy got attacked. This is the first attack I’ve ever heard of in Southern California??? Just gnarly, makes you wonder how many are out there. Time to start stacking up the good karma points, this is no joke. For more information on this attack check out SURFERMAG.COM
Everyday we get hit up by kids asking us what it takes to be on the flow team. Some kids even get upset and talk trash if we don’t hook them up. That’s too bad, that’s just sour grapes that leave a bad taste in your mouth. Sponsorship, as in life, isn’t always fair. We simply ask that you earn it, just like Sky Siljeg. Sky rode for us for over 2 years before being promoted to the flow team. Sky earned his spot on our website through hard work and dedication. His skating speaks for itself. Notice the speed, style and flow Sky carries when he skates - this is what you need to do to separate yourself from the pack. Sooooo…if you think you deserve flow sponsorship then show us that you’ve earned it by commenting on this Blog with a LINK to your sponsor me video. This is where the rubber meets the road my friends…now go skate!
Our good buddy and NHHS surf team stand out Victor Done hooked us up with the opportunity to support the NHHS Surfrider contest, April 26th, at 56th in Newport. Not ones to shy away from a good cause, of course we jumped on in and threw down some watches for prizes. So if your in the area and want to have a good time supporting a worthy cause come on down. First place in each division wins a Freestyle Shark Watch! Beach entries start at 6:30am. Time to go shred!
Our good friend Jimmy Mendillo got us hooked up with a big party/fundraiser he’s throwing at Wimpy’s in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It’s a kickoff party for the ESA regionals and a fundraiser for www.savehatteras.com If you love surfing, and love surfing hatteras than get your but down there and support the cause. You might even win some Freestyle Gear! Including free watches! Word!
