These are the trophies for this years 2010 Freedom Artists Surf Series and we have Keegan Gibbs to thank for this sick shot of Westward Beach. Each trophy will have a shot by Keegan of the spot where it took place laminated onto pine board. We’re really stoked to be using Keegan’s insane photography and that we could collaborate on this with him. Keegan is an insanely talented photographer and we will also be doing a t-shirt collaboration with him this summer. Check out his blog which always has insane imagery and photos on it www.thekeegangibbs.com

Our friends at Vestal Watch have been hooking up the mack timepieces for all the events this summer and we are stoked–they also included us in there June 2009 feedback report–check it out! Oh and there is Pascal again in the Playboy spread–can’t get enough of that. Visit Vestalwatch.com for mack timepieces!

Even though the surfers hate the paparazzis– in this case they did us a favor and got our boy McConaughey wearing the latest in Freedom Artists mesh truckers. McConaughey Jr. has got one on too!
