Meet Swatch Proteam athlete Courtney Conlogue, 20 years old and already living her dream as a professional surfer. As one of the top female surfers on the ASP Women's World Championship Tour, she's chasing the World Title by training hard both in and out of the water.

Most recently, Courtney claimed the 4th stop of the 2013 ASP Women's World Championship Tour, the TSB Bank NZ Surf Festival in Taranaki, over Swatch Proteam sidekick Coco Ho. This recent victory pushes Courtney up two spots to a current 3rd position on the ASP Women's WCT Ranking.

Next stop on the WCT will be the Billabong Rio Pro from May 8-14.

One year in the making, Mission Antarctic is a journey of snowboard exploration with Swatch Proteam Xavier De Le Rue and The North Face teammate Lucas DeBari as they sail from the Falklands, through the Drake Passage and around the Fjords of the Antarctic peninsula in search of the best lines to ride on the continent.

"I went there out of curiosity, but I still remember that surprise on the first morning when I opened my eyes over the peninsula. Antarctica is the most powerful, beautiful, unexplored skiing spot on the whole planet." - Swatch Proteam snowboarder, Xavier De Le Rue.

In Episode 2, Xavier and Lucas give a guided tour of their confined and temporary home on “The Golden Fleece”; their base camp during Mission Antarctic. The crew discovered it when they met up with Captain Jerome Poncet in the Falkland Islands.
