About a week ago, WeSC got invited to hold a booth at this skate jam in Kawasaki.
This was for a wedding after party for a guy called Aki Akiyama.
Name sounded familiar... Oh yeah I'm Akiyama as well...
Well no I didn't know who this guy was till I found out he was the first professional skateboarder of Japan.
He is in the Dog Town era, strictly bowl, ramp and a freestyle skater.
His brother Katsu, holds the Japanese record for the most free spins.
He is the Zephyre of Japan and a legend of Japan and I feel very special to be invited to this special occasion.
Here are some photos I took from the night.

It was a while back but went to see Parra's first Tokyo exhibition helf at COMMON gallery in Harajuku earlier this month.
Lots of people there, lots of art work and not enough free booze...

Andy Irons

On the 2nd of November, surfing had lost one of it's most valuable surfers.
His name was Andy Irons, 3 time world champion from Kauai, Hawaii.
I always liked his style, he sounded like a douche in some of his movies but I guess that was his mentality of not giving a shit and trying to reach his goal.
Seems like all the surfers say he was a nice cool dude as well.
I was only judging...
It's a shame that I won't be able to see his surfing ever again.
R.I.P. A.I.
and
R.I.P. to Jack Coleman my friend from high school who passed away late last month.
Enjoy your life!
