The new site was redesigned by Hurley’s in-house interactive team and connects visitors to the company’s latest news in surf and skate events, fashion, art and music projects, as well as team info, products and more. Visitors will be able to view current and upcoming collections, images from a variety of photo galleries, daily blogs from Hurley personalities and riders, a calendar of events, contests and fun wallpapers. The expanded site also provides a vehicle for Hurley to share music from new artists and offer downloads, band profiles and tour information.

“We’re really excited to unveil the all new Hurley.com web site,” said Bob Hurley, founder and ceo, Hurley. “Over the years, Hurley has cultivated an amazingly loyal and diverse fan base that wants to be a part of our world.
