When you think of Shawn Watson, many things come to mind; style, fluidity, and the propensity to be surrounded most times by women who are easy on the eyes. It has been said that Shawn Watson made a deal with the devil in his goofy teenage years that now delivers him a dream job, massive G23 wakes, and that steady flow of female accompaniment. Right on Watson…right on… Thanks to Collin Harrington and Liquid Force Films for sending over this more than entertaining edit.

H20 Floatable Collection Includes Top 5 Styles with Performance Polar

Carlsbad, CA (May 8, 2013)- Dragon has seamlessly blended fashion with function to create the H20 Floatable Collection—its first ever line of floating sunglasses. Made for men and women who enjoy an active lifestyle in and around the water, the H20 Floatable Collection pairs 5 of Dragon’s most popular styles— including the Shawn Watson signature Jam— with a specially formulated injected frame designed to stay afloat in the ocean, pool or lake.

Worn by top wake team athletes including icon Shawn Watson, Dragon’s Floatable sunglasses are the answer to never losing your shades in the water again. Styled for summer, the Shawn Watson Signature Jam features green ionized lenses set inside a matte black frame.

“Between riding and hanging with friends, I spend almost all of my time on the lake,” says Shawn Watson. “Knowing I won’t lose my shades if I drop them into the water is key to having a good time—plus they’re super light, and the green ionized lenses look sick.”

Constructed from a durable, lightweight injected material, all H20 Floatable shades come standard with Dragon’s top-level Performance Polar ®, custom water-resistant rubber logos on the outer temple, nylon lenses, Hydrophobic and Oleophobic coatings, offer 100% UV protection and include rubber nose pads and temple tips for performance fit on select models.

The H20 Floatable Collection includes The Jam, The Shawn Watson Signature Jam, Chrome 2, Vantage, Cinch and Double Dos, and can be found floating in a lake near you or in select retail locations worldwide.

Watch the H20 Floatable Collection in action here, and visit www.dragonalliance.com for more information about Dragon’s full line of floatable sunglasses.

Sunglasses brand Dragon announced Friday it has broken away from parent company Oakley. Dragon founder and CEO Will Howard and general manager Aaron Behle led a group to take the Carlsbad, California, company private.

“We want to thank Scott Olivet and the rest of the Oakley team for their support over the years and during this transition,” Howard says. “In two very different business plans, we collectively saw an opportunity to allow Dragon to break off and do its own thing in the marketplace.”

Howard started Dragon out of his garage in San Clemente more than 13 years ago when he saw an opportunity in the market for new blood. Since then, Dragon has grown into a diverse and global brand with distribution in more than 35 countries.

Dragon has long been a supporter of wakeboarding. Its 10-rider team of professional wakeboarders includes JD Webb, Shawn Watson and Erik Ruck.
