The Yeti named Shreddie has become Avoriaz's adopted mascot after he turned up with a snowboard park called 'The Stash' which Burton built in the Avoriaz tree line. Shreddie rips harder than most guys and girls on the mountain. He's a great... erm, Yeti? and i had the pleasure of following and shooting photos of him round The Stash and in La Chapelle Park.
The shot above, in which he is taking off into a big switch Frontside3 (I'm pretty sure he rides regular), has just made the front cover of Yodel a local resort publication... Stoked and i hope he will be too
the charts showed it coming, but after the previous swell failing to show, this one seemed a little skeptical. But sure enough it steamed straight out the south and lit up this very fickle east coast Bali reef break. Looks empty but it was pretty packed... check the link of Mikala Jones scoring a good'un on >>>Surfline
CivicDaze is a Plymouth Skateboarding Film, predominately filmed and edited by my friend and namesake Olly Howe. It will be finished when its finished, no fixed completion/release date i no of (i think there's a lot of stuff we all wanna get on film before then) but it should be worth the wait and capture the eccentric and fun essence of Plymouth's skateboarding.
Till then here's a slick trailer he's just released
(sound tracks nice, so pause the little ipod on side of this page and turn up vimeo)
