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.

Shreddy in the Pacific Northwest

Monday, 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!

Inside Bede’s Head

Friday, March 12th, 2010


Insurfnews.com - Insider’s Perspective - Bede Durbidge from Andrew Oliver on Vimeo.

Stoked on the fresh content that keeps pumping in from Insurfnews.com! Check this insightful interview with Bede Durbidge, they got in on his brain a bit to understand what it takes to be a Top 5 world title contender year after year. Even though Bede was #3 in 2009, and #2 in 2008 people still don’t want to admit that he’s one of favorites for the World Title. 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!

So let’s get our boy Nat Young some votes! His section is rad, even if you don’t like the song you got to admit the surfing is top notch, so check it out and let Innersection know what you think!
