Freedom is the unique, active-lifestyle brand, built by a team of passion-driven photographer’s, artists and athletes. The power of positive thinking and giving unconditional love for one another is the foundation of the human spirit. Life is filled with choices by which we manifest our own destiny. Freedom strives to inspire others in following their hopes and aspirations.
Mission: Freedom represents positive lifestyles that are fueled by their passions; action-sports, art, athleticism, cinematography, music, photography, volunteering and anything else that is constructive in their community.
Roots: Freedom was born on the beaches of Kaneohe, Hawaii in the Spring of 2005. US Navy Diver (2C) / Photographer’s Mate (PH) and devoted surfer, Nate Carl had a personal dream of getting underground athletes recognized for their abilities. Nate’s passion for photography gave him the opportunity to document these individuals. The team originated with his closest friends: Steven Legate, Tommy Chorman and Richard Dandeneau. The team shares similar passions: faith, surfing, photography, cinematography, volunteering and globe-trotting. Also, the US Navy “Deep Sea” Diving Community has been ultra-supportive since day one by helping spread the trademarked “Freedom Eagle” around the world.
Since beginning on the beaches in Hawaii, the Freedom team has traveled and filmed venues around the globe: Australia, California, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Fiji, Guatemala, Mexico and the Outer Banks. Experiencing the various cultures from their globe-trotting, Freedom united ideas, further amplifying the foundation of the company.
In December 2007, Freedom partnered with AccesSurf which, the staff states as being “an absolute blessing.” Freedom has also rallied with the Wounded Warrior Project. The project is similar to AccesSurf, in which they empower and help injured/disabled civilians and vets reunite with the ocean again. More recently, Freedom has merged with Ocean Tech Inc, a surf accessory company based out of Costa Rica, Central America. This merger has expanded Freedom’s product line with professional surf accessories to its roots in Hawaii. Further plans include their expansion globally.
Freedom is currently rooted on Oahu, Hawaii. Freedom Photographers are available to shoot in water, on land, night or day, and at any event.
