This article begins with a short intro how we even got to El Puerto de Santa Maria in the first place. The idea was since a long time to go on a long road trip to skate, surf, exhibit our art and play concerts on the way and we finally got the money to do it.
Greymouth bowl, westcoast south island New Zealand. Another epic, huge bowl in a small surfing/fishing town, with black granite pool coping, love seat, extension and taco!

Under the surface of big and loud machines are popping out little places hiding much potential for skateboarding and DIY. In the little town of Flémalle, in the suburbs of Liège, a few young and highly motivated skaters explored their living environment for places of freedom and imagination.
