Skateboarding Takes Over Chile | GREETINGS FROM SANTIAGO

South America is skateboarding’s great untapped wellspring.

The first to make their mark internationally were the Brazilians, of course, but in their wake almost every country in Latin America has made its own contribution to skateboarding on the world stage from Argentina’s Diego Bucchieri and later Milton Martinez to Peru’s Angelo Caro, Colombia’s Jhancarlos Gonzalez, Chile’s Matthias Torres and so on.

One of the reasons for this emerging phenomenon is that skateboarding, with its relatively low requirements in terms of terrain on which to learn and cost impediment to beginning, is almost tailor-made for South America’s youthful gusto for life.

It is often pointed out that skateboarding is massive in Brazil (indeed, the country has its own hermetically-sealed skate industry), but skateboarding is a gigantic movement in several South American nations today - Mike Vallely’s one-man demo in Mexico City in 2008 drew in excess of 100,000 devotees, by way of example.

Of those largely unknown skate nations, Chile is the sleeping giant with its capital city Santiago being called home by an estimated 20,000 skateboarders.
Skateboarding was effectively imported into Santiago in the late 1970’s when, as legend has it, a group of kids visited the USA and brought a grip of boards back- and, in effect, started a shockwave that brings us to the present day.

When, in 1989, Chile’s military dictatorship gave way to democracy, the economic flourish which followed saw an effective rebuilding of Santiago’s downtown area but it was not until the emergence of Go Skateboarding Day in 2004- and the staggering numbers of skateboarders involved in Chile’s annual edition ever since- woke the city council up to the demand for skateparks within the municipality that the city began to become a destination not only for skateboarders throughout Chile but throughout Latin America.

This episode of Greetings From Santiago hears that remarkable story as told by the skateboarders who made it all happen.

Just wait until you see how many skaters hit the streets of Santiago every year to wild out!

The Soul Skaters Of South Africa | GREETINGS FROM JOHANNESBURG

This time around in ‘Greetings From’, we are rolling out with the past, present and future of skateboarding in the world-famous South African city of Johannesburg.

‘Jozi’, as she is affectionately known by her citizenry, has been actively skated for 30 years at this point, and it was thanks to pioneers like Pravesh Manga and his street hustling of skate gear that the scene began to grow.

Indeed, the theme of DIY is the through-line of our city report from the streets of South Africa- from Westdene DIY skatepark which was created from nothing by brothers Jarryd and Brandon Barnard, to Skate Society Soweto, fronted by the charismatic Sechaba TheBakersman.

As one of the friendliest and most unified skate scenes we have ever come across on our global journey to connect the grassroots skate cities around our wide world, what Johannesburg might lack in perfect surfaces it makes up for in perfect hearts.

As Levi Webb of Crow’s Nest skate-hut notes: “The people here really do make the place”.
Among those selfsame souls we connected with in Johannesburg is Thato Moet of the Island Gals skate crew, who have become the emerging face of what’s new in the Johannesburg skate scene, thanks in no small part to the sterling photographic work of local ripper Karabo Mooki.

“ It’s been a very interesting journey seeing the generational shift in skateboarding-” observes Mooki, as he takes us through some of his slides from the last 12 years of documenting the Jo’burg skate scene “- the adventures we got into….being able to see the sides of life a lot of people don’t see, that aren’t in the magazines.”

The idea of making it happen without expecting external help which is the leitmotif of the Johannesburg skate scene is epitomised most clearly by the admired and respected Beki Meijor, an entrepreneurial man-about-town who uses social media to trade in and deliver skate product across the city right to the spot where they are required:
“ I buy from whoever has, I sell to whoever doesn’t! ” is his can-do mantra- and one which makes him not only a pivotal face in the skate scene of the city but a symbol of it, as well.

Meet Beki, Mooki and more than thirty other faces who make up some of the close-knit city skate scene today as they welcome us into their skateboarding culture in ‘Greetings From Johannesburg’!

Was 2022 the BEST Year of Surfing? | BEST OF SURF 2022

What a year. 2022 was packed to the gills with everything the surfing world has to offer. Whether it be seemingly endless historic Teahupoo swells, world title chases or just good ole' free surfing, 2022 surely had a taste of it all.

Not only did Teahupoo fire on all cylinders multiple times this year, but the WSL world tour stop featured nothing more than a spectacle, with local wild card Kauli Vaast securing his spot in the final heat. We can't forget moments from Kolohe Andino in New York, Leo Fioravanti at home in Italy or the rise of women's surfing phenom Caity Simmers qualifying for the 2023 tour.

We can keep rambling on, but we think the video speaks for itself. Toss that popcorn in the microwave and settle in for the wild ride that was the Best of Surf in 2022.
