Two Headed Gator — Latest Limited edition color way celebrating Profile’s UK crew.

Years ago, at low tide, an American Alligator crawled out of the murky waters of the Hillsborough River in Tampa Bay.

Not an unusual sight, by any means.

For a time, it sat on a sand bank and sunned itself, as they do, just long enough for a passerby to snap a photo.

Gator physiology is unique in itself.

Spiked scutes line their backs.

Marble eyes.

Often missing limbs from inter-species attacks.

Dead calm until they sense being threatened; their bodies burst into action, thrash violently, and escape back into the depths.

But this one was even more unique.

“Special” may be the right word.

So much so, its memory has become the mascot of a whole swath of Tampa Bay.

For two consecutive years, Profile’s UK team has visited the Profile factory in Tampa Bay.

Beyond enjoying the sun and surf, the many skateparks and DIY spots in town have made it a really enjoyable destination to escape the brutal winters elsewhere.

On their last visit, the crew stayed long enough to be able to venture out, and soak up some of the unique, natural environs as well as some of the region’s more bizarre Wildlife.

Manatees.

Roseate Spoonbills.

Cuban Anoles.

Bonnethead Sharks

And Gators…

At one point, a gator and a manatee, together in a natural spring.

And on this last trip, on the eve of heading back to the UK, a couple of the crew decided to celebrate their stay together by getting matching tattoos.

The theme was a unanimous decision…
