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.
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.
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!
Taylor Steele, the man behind most some of the most innovative and high performance surfing videos, has come up with fresh concept for his latest project. Welcome to innersection.tv, where the world’s top surfers can upload their own video sections to be voted and critiqued for the chance to be included in the final Innersection DVD. Only 20 sections will make the cut, and from these 20 the top 5 qualifiers will be chosen and you will be able to vote to decide which section deserves the grand prize of $100,000. 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!
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.
The 20×10 Special Editions Sharks come in their own unique packaging so you can’t miss them in the stores.
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.
Our favorite issue of Surfing Magazine just showed up. The 2010 Swimsuit Issue! Don’t get over excited, we aren’t going to spill all the beans here, you’re going to have to pick up a copy for yourself to peep out all the babes. You’re for sure going to want to check out the smoking babe on page 38 rocking the Hammerhead Chrono XL, and yes she’s literally smoking. So as much as we like bikini models, we like bikini surfers even better. After all, Freestyle is all about performance, so here’s a video courtesy of our friends at O’Neill of real surfer babe Sage Erickson shredding the waves!
