ARNETTE
BACK TO ORIGINS

BRANDED

How the skateboarding community payed tribute to the californian surfers at the origin of their sport and passion.

California, early 50's. During a summer without waves, bored surfers were inspired to put wheels on their boards and started surf the sidewalks. Without knowing it, they were inventing skateboarding.

Today, this films tells the story of how a group of skaters payed tribute to the surfers and to the origin of their sport.

Sopela skatepark, in the heart of Vizcaya, Basque Country is as linked to the sea as it is to skateboarding. The dream place for skate riders Sergio Muñoz, Cristian Sánchez, Alain Goikoetxea and Dany Lozano, lead by Urban artist Rosh333, to transform the gray concrete of the bowl into the rough water of the Atlantic Ocean.

Once the intervention finished, the skaters invited surf champions Kepa Acero, Aritz Aranburu, Indar Unanue and Garazi Sánchez to surf all together... on dry land.

The whole intervention, conceptualized by agency Herraiz & Soto was part of an online campaign for eyewaer brand Arnette. I was in charge of directing the hero film, documenting the whole action.
