Words by Chris Peiffer

I spent my christmas time again in the basque country to surf and skate and to enjoy with family and friends.

One day Yankee picked me up with his dog Sauron and we went to Ramputene, a awesome DIY project build by locals under a bridge in  San Sebastian. Eskerrik asko Imanol.

Another day we went to Andoain, a town also in Gipuzkoa,  to the “new” skatepark build by ZUT skateparks and finished last year. There we met also some other friends and had a nice session with a lot of fun and at the end I captured a few photos.
