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.
Based on the lore of the giant prehistoric Shark, we humbly introduce the Freestyle Megalodon, an oversized 48mm monster case to help you take a bite out of your fashion woes. Fortunately, we aren’t just tooting our own horns, ESPN Action Sports just picked it as one of the 10 Best gear items under $100 in their online feature, Re-Session Gear. Definitely worth a look next time you’re at your favorite shop.
Oh the glory of the late 80’s! Here’s another classic from 1988 featuring big wave legend, Mike “Snips” Parsons and four-time Women’s World Champ Frieda Zamba. Form and Function of yesterday still alive and kicking today. That’s why we call it Freestyle4life!
So with Winter coming to an end and having rode almost every great SoCal mountain we figured winter was over, luckily for us it wasn’t. Our good friend Davis Paul gave us the invite to come bust out on a little back yard playground up at MT.Baldy. Super fun! Check it out…

Lately with all these brands jumping on the retro bandwagon we thought we’d start dropping some authentic knowledge. We all know it’s easy to be a bandwagoner, but it’s hard to be the the real deal. All killer, no filler as they used to say in the 80’s. So here’s the first installment of Freestyle Flashback Friday, taking you all the way back to 1988 with a little Freestyle R&D. As you can see the Shark Watch is OG!
Mid April, as it is every year, is inevitably the end of snow season in SoCal. Sure a few resorts are maintaining their slurpy like slopes with a few features and kickers, but for the most part our eyes are turning back to the pacific. In celebration of the change of seasons we have a farewell snow video to release tomorrow from a late season mini-sesh at Mt. Baldy. So here’s to the end of winter and the onset of spring and pumping south swells! It’s time to put away your Altimeter and put on your Tide Watch.
