Some Like it Blue: Skating in Tahitian Paradise | Part 1

The volcanic island paradise of Tahiti has a small but dedicated skate scene, due in no small part to the much larger and more famous surf scene centred around the legendary wave break of Teahupo'o nearby. Although the island's volcanic ground makes for bountiful nature, it is also very porous, which means it, and any surface made from it, will eat you alive when you slam. Ryan Spencer, Jordan Taylor, Adrien Coillard, Jarne Verbruggen, and Philipp Schuster rolled the dice to see what they could come back with on the shred front, while trying not to shred themselves.
