TeamSquid - Relay Triathlon

Yesterday, Sunday 19th September: the SquidFans made a trip to Eton, Dorney Lake. Supporting their legendary Rough Track Triathlon team consisting of Christian Sommer and David Jackson. A video shall be out shortly. Here is a first glimpse...

Christian swam 800m in a freezing cold lake in just 13.36minutes! He was the 7th out of the water - no wetsuit in sight - he was definitely the exception!

David cycled 20km in just 48min - he had to do 4 laps on a rough track and overtook 2 more bikers. Fortunately for him his bike did not puncture!

9km running was the final bit for our SquidMen. Christian in just 42 minutes led the SquidTeam successfully on to 5th place out of 50 teams!

Congratulations Team! Looking forward to the next one.....

Umbrella live on TV

Umbrella live on Dutch TV, Live 4 you - dutch
...SquidLondon's colour changing umbrella makes a brilliant TV piece.


Suck UK's telescopic umbrella goes live.


TV presenter demonstrating the colour changing effect with a water squit....


Moderator absolutely drenched - but the sun has come out!

SquidLondon has gone in partnership with Suck UK.

Suck UK are a great team of dynamic and cool people - the Squidders and Suck UK share similar mind-sets, which has allowed our colour changing umbrella concept to ease in perfectly with their cutting edge designed product range. Not only does the 'cloud design' predict good weather in the rain but the other good news, they are launching the first colour changing Children's umbrella too :)
