Freestyle was the first surf watch brand in the U.S. Since 1981, Freestyle has been making durable, dependable, stylish watches all built to withstand the abuses of the high-intensity, rider lifestyle, both in and out of the water.
The brand is coming to Europe in 2009 and it’s rocking out the clock out with the SHARK Series, fun color digital watches! I’m rockin my Freestyle watch and it’s pretty funky.

After WESC, and SkullCandy’s success, Nixon is also entering the headphone market. But the premium product brand stays true to its reputation and is arriving with up scale products. Nixon launched its watches exactly ten years ago for the launch of its headphones range they used the same proven process: start with a blank piece of paper, commit to designing products that move a category forward, invest in custom manufacturing, wrap the whole thing in thoughtful packaging and display, and then back it all up with industry-leading marketing and sales support.
The headphone range is made up by 3 models: The loungy Master Blaster with its handcrafted real leather car cans and headband, the Nomadic with collapsible car cans perfect for travelling, and the Wire for a tangle free experience.
We haven’t tried any of these out yet but we hope we will soon. They look real nice for sure even though they have less steez than SkullCandys and less hype than WESC. But from what I heard they have no match in terms of sound quality and that’s really what we would expect from Nixon. You should be able to find these babies in shop now with prices from 90 to 200 Euros….glup.

Spindeck is a progressive balance training board, allowing snowboarders of all levels to practice tricks and technique in safety at home. Spindeck is the only training board that twists freely on the spot allowing riders to practice 180s, 360s and other spin tricks outside the boardpark.

Spindeck is designed to help all riders improve balance and fitness, learn tricks and develop new skills.
Good balance is essential in all board riding sports. Just 5 minutes a day on the Spindeck will tune your core balance and help you ride more confidently.

It has been elaborated by a small UK company started by two british snowboarders with a passion for progressive sports. They sell through the web to customers all over the world including Europe and the USA.

The guys were good enough to send us a spindeck for us to test. So we had fun for a few hours trying to keep the balance and spining. Not sure we are better riders now, but it’s good practise for sure!
Check out this video to show you the possibilities of Spindeck.

Von Zipper will introduce three different goggles in co-branding with Skullcandy for next season!

So, next winter you will be able to listen to your favorite music, riding the most technical goggle with the best style!
