Lost in the Pacific, the island of Tahiti has long held exotic associations in the mind. But what’s it like for skating? A famous surfing paradise and home of the legendary Teahupo'o wave, it turns out it also holds a totally unexpected skate gem of its own.
The squad who wanted to find out were Hawaiian Foundation am Ryan Spencer, Californian WKND representative Jordan Taylor, Belgian Element rider Jarne Verbruggen, Cliché’s Adrien Coillardand the main man Philipp Schuster on a landcruising mission for untouched spots on weathered terrain. Between the palm trees and the dark sands, they found unexpected treasures before making a jungle discovery which will blow your mind!
Here are some of the first published skate photos from Tahiti to set up the first of three episodes of Some Like It Blue, a Tahitian skate adventure dropping here on Monday, March 21.
