Insta360 × Swatch Nines: Creativity Gone Surfin'

Following the hugely successful event in Schilthorn earlier this year, Swatch Nines is back for round two!

This time, it's all about big waves, epic tricks, and next-level creativity on (or near) the water. From June 25 to 27, the legendary surf pool in Waco, Texas transforms into a playground for world-class surfers, skateboarders, and BMX athletes.

And once again, Insta360 returns as the official action camera partner.

Same DNA, New Terrain

Swatch Nines has never been about podiums or prizes. It's always been about pushing boundaries, forming bonds, and celebrating the true heart of action sports culture.

Swatch Nines Surf doubles down on that energy by turning up the volume on community-driven content and insane action. Athletes and creators from around the world will meet up at Waco's surf park for an unforgettable three-day experience—and Insta360 will be there to capture every angle of it.

360 Hits Different

Unlike typical helmet-cam footage or flat POV shots, Insta360's cameras open up a world of creative possibilities. From drone-style wave chasing to bullet-time spins, creators at Swatch Nines are using X5's 8K 360 capture to reframe, remix, and reimagine what surfing can look like.

Combined with Ace Pro 2's cinematic wide-angle POV, the gear Insta360 is bringing to this Swatch Nines edition is going to enable creativity like never before.

Authenticity Meets Perfection

The core energy of Swatch Nines is about raw, real, in-the-moment storytelling. The Insta360 team is working alongside the Swatch Nines media crew to film exceptional content that'll bring viewers inside the experience.

And for creators on-site? We're hosting product demos, workshops, and giving hands-on support to help make every clip viral-worthy.

From Powder to Pool, the Ride Continues

Swatch Nines Snow showed us how far creativity could go when cameras and athletes think boldly together. Swatch Nines Surf takes that momentum and pushes it to the next level—across ramps, down waves, and straight into the hearts of action sports fans worldwide.

Whether you’re a surfer, skater, rider, or just someone who loves raw talent, stay tuned as the content rolls out. And remember: if it’s not #ShotOnInsta360, you’re not getting the full picture.
