Nixon 4220 PU Chrono Womens Watch
Nixon makes great watches! I would have to say that they are the best watch company in the skate, surf, and snow industry. Nixon just came out with a great new watch called the 4220 PU Chrono. This watch has all the bells and whistles you could imagine. The 4220 PU Chrono is 200 meter waterproof, gives you the date, has a countdown timer, and the list just goes on.
This watch comes in some really great colors, my favorite is the purple one. The Nixon 4220 PU Chrono womens watch has a polyurethane band that gives it a sporty look, but it still looks very classy at the same time. This is a great watch for everyday use. The 4220 PU Chrono womens watch retail’s for $269.95 which is pretty expensive, but if you wear it all the time it is worth the price.
Electric Airheart Womens Sunglasses
The Electric Airheart are a great pair of sunglasses! The Airheart are wire framed and aviator style. The great thing about these glasses is they have clear nose pads. The nose pads add a lot of comfort, and you don’t have to worry about them making marks on your nose after wearing them for a while.
The Airheart is great for heart, square and round faces. These glasses are a great alternative to the oversize sunglass look, and they are made for a smaller face. The Electric Airheart womens sunglasses come in white, black, gold, and silver. These glasses retail for $110.00, but are worth the price because aviator glasses never go out of style.
Arbor pintail “pin” koa longboard
The Arbor pin koa longboard is great for pushing around town or shredding at the local park. The pin has layers of hard rock maple for stiffness and a layer of koa wood for a little flex, durability, and not to mention a super sexy finish that only koa wood can give. The pin is also very long with a long wheelbase for really long, buttery smooth turns. The way the pin is designed reduces wheelbite because the wood narrows at the ends so there’s no wood for the trucks to touch! Like all of our quality koa arbors the pin comes with a super non-slip clear spray on grip.
The Arbor comes with san clemente trucks but i would suggest sidewinders for the pin because of their quick response and tight turning. The pin also comes with san clemente wheels, but i would suggest arbors or abec 11 gumballs for the best grip and smoothest ride. The pin like all of great longboards isn’t so great if you don’t have great bearings too, I would suggest bones reds, or if you really want to tear down the streets like a pro, I would suggest Sector nine ceramics.
Loaded Pintail Longboard
If you love to surf but are far from the beach then you should get a loaded pintail longboard. This board is a surfers dream and an amazing way to surf the concrete. This bamboo styled longboard has an amazing design that allows you to carve hard and fast at high speeds and has a great amount of flex to allow for smooth riding. This board is a true carver styled longboard. You can get the pintail in a variety of flexes depending on what you are looking for. I prefer a medium amount of flex to low flex for more stability and harder carving.
The loaded pintail longboard is also great for downhill riding. The dervish is recommened over it for down hill but the pintail can perform well down hill at high speeds as it is a great carving longboard. This board is an overall amazing riding board and should be an option for your next longboard.
Electric Hightone Womens Sunglasses Review
I love Electric sunglasses, they are well made and come in so many great styles! One new style from Electric is the Hightone. The Hightone has a 60’s inspired bubble mask frame and really great retro looking arms. These glasses have 100% UV protection so don’t worry laides they are cute and functional.
The Hightone retail’s for $109.95, but believe me they are well worth the money. The Electric Hightone womens sunglasses come in black, tortoise shell, harlot stripe, matte purple, and spanish moss. My favorite colorway is the matte purple because it’s just so much different than anything I have seen. These glasses look great on heart, oval and round face shapes. Go out and get yourself a pair!
Electric Velveteen Womens Sunglasses
I have the Electric Velveteen in purple fade and I love them! Electric makes very well made sunglasses. The Velveteen has a butterfly shaped frame and really uniquely styled arms. These glasses are definitely in the oversized category, but they aren’t too big. The Electric Veveteen looks great on just about any face shape and comes in some really great colorways.
You will find the Veveteen in black, white, tortoise, purple fade, candy blue, and candy apple. These glasses are great for driving because they really give you great coverage for blocking the sun. The Electric Velveteen womens sunglasses are 60’s inspired and very on trend for what is in right now. These glasses retail for $109.95 which is kind of expensive, but well worth it!
Nixon Chalet Bamboo Womens Watch Review
I love the Nixon Chalet Bamboo! This watch has real Bamboo wood inlays on the band and face. The light bamboo color goes with just about anything I wear. This watch retail’s for $199.00 which is kind of pricey, but is well worth it. The Chalet Bamboo is lightweight and comfortable to wear. The band has a butterfly clasp that makes it very quick and easy to put on.
The Nixon Chalet Bamboo womens watch is on trend for what we are seeing in fashion for 2009. This watch has a earthy feel to it and you could almost call it a “green” accessory because it is made from bamboo. The face of the Chalet Bamboo has a great lavender accent inside it along with the words NIXON written on the face. This is a great watch, go get yourself one!
The Dynasty - Nixon Womens Watch
I love Nixon’s watches, they are well made and super cute! One new style that Nixon came out with this year is The Dynasty. The Dynasty is made from stainless steel and has this great cut-out right outside of the face. Another great thing about The Dynasty is that it has a one-touch access spring steel band, which makes it quick and easy to put on.
This style watch comes in silver, gold, purple, and all black. The Nixon Dynasty womens watch retail’s for $99.95 which is a great price for a watch that looks so elegant. This watch is very comfortable to wear and would be a great addition to anyone’s wardrobe.
Nixon The Dynasty Leather White Womens Watch
Nixon has a brand new style watch called The Dynasty. This watch retails at $89.95 and can be found online at www.nordboards.com. The Dynasty is very dainty and feminine, with metal accents that make it very elegant. You can wear the Dynasty as an everyday watch, but it is also perfect for wearing when your all dressed up and going out for the evening.
The Dynasty Leather comes in white, black, purple, and all brown. My favorite color is the white Dynasty because I just think it looks great with anything your wearing. The Nixon Dynasty Leather womens watch is well made and will last you many years, plus it even comes with a warranty just in case. This is a great watch, go out and get yourself one!
