Justen “Jughead” Allport signed to Freeballers
Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 15 November, 2007 : - - Big wave surfer Justen “Jughead” Allport has been signed to Aussie surf-denim brand, Freeballers. Jughead will join fellow big wave rider, Evan Faulks and Blake Thornton on the Freeballers team. Allport is considered one of the best big wave/extreme surfers in the world, famous for riding a 60-foot wave at Ghost Tree, then subsequently having his leg broken in four places by the same wave.
Freeballers Managing Director, Chris Northwood said Allport would be a valuable addition to the team. “We’re stoked to have Justen riding for us; his career goals as a free surfer are perfectly suited to the Freeballers brand. “Justen is one of the most courageous surfers we’ve ever come across, we’re looking forward to helping him chase as many big swells as possible,“ Chris said.
Allport chose to ride for smaller brand, Freeballers, based on the brand’s focus on free surfing and willingness to support his desire to travel the globe chasing big waves, rather than competing. Freeballers aims to embody the freedom of the surfing lifestyle; the brand encourages its team to surf for the love of it rather than the competition of the circuit.
The Freeballers range of jeans and shorts are designed specifically for surfers, with a built in cotton lining and button fly, for ultimate comfort and practicality after a surf.
