PRESS RELEASE

Merging G-Shock Technology with In4mation Surf Style

G-Shock and In4mation team up for a fourth installment collaboration watch. After three highly sought after collectibles, G-Shock and the Hawaiian-based boardsport brand have fused the latest G-Shock toughness and technology with the In4mation alternative design concept in the GLX6900X-2.

Irreverently clad in sleek gray with yellow and red accents, the GLX6900X-2 remains rooted in In4mation’s surf heritage. Harmonizing with the surfer lifestyle, the G-Shock In4mation chronograph features 200M water resistance, low temperature resistance, tide graph and moon data graph for the ultimate in tracking high and low tides. Even the EL Backlight reflects In4mation’s legacy with a red shaka sign, the definitive symbol of aloha and Hawaiian culture.

Anastasia Ashley wins Pipeline Women’s Pro

The most dangerous wave in the world looked like a punchy-break for the North Shore Soap Factory Pipeline Women’s Pro yesterday. While there were only a handful of legitimate barrels, this grassroots, one-day event still ran with Anastasia Ashley winning the shortboard division. The 23-year-old, native Californian/Hawai’i resident had the rights dialed in the difficult conditions and shoulder to head high waves.

“It was kind of challenging with the wind and it was pretty shallow,” admitted Ashley who has been surfing Pipeline a lot this year. “This past winter I paddled out on some solid days … so when it’s manageable size I feel really confident out there.”
