As part of the 50th Bells Beach Surf Rally (better known now as the Rip Curl Pro) Skullcandy pieced together a one off variant of their popular Aviator for the surfers in the event. Only given to the surfers in the event, these Aviators from Skullcandy are real hard to get hold of. Not sure of how many got made but heard a whisper of around 80.

The Aviator is Skullcandy’s flagship model (well along with the MixMaster) and they are damn comfy. Fitting even the biggest of ears (mine) the sound reproduction is crisp, from the low bass bears of Justin Beiber to the high pitch squeals of Young Jeezy. They come in a marvelous case, a bright white (p)leather that fits the headphones and other accessories quite easily.
