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.
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!
The more we see of Ben Wilson kite surfing, the more we get fired up! Not to mention he’s got video editing skills galore, just peep his latest project, The Dirty South. Note the rad style and technique of these airs these guys are pulling. Note to self, no need to complain about the surf being blown out, just grab a kite and bust loose!

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.
Dog gone it, the waves were pumping yesterday! The big surf combining with the big tide made for some interesting scenes along PCH. While you’ll be able to catch some fancy surfing photos on Surfline, we are offering up some photos of the havoc that our boy Nick snapped while driving up PCH.
