March has been the best month this year in terms of skateboarding! We're only 13 days in, and most of them have been sunny, letting me and the homies shred both the streets of our hometown and hit the road to film for our upcoming project, "Synopsis"!


New Spot Discovered


Speaking of my hometown, we just discovered a brand-new spot! Out in the middle of nowhere, a new square was built, and it has this sick snake-shaped transition. So sick, right??

The rest of the square isn’t really skateable, but this part more than makes up for it! Even though the place isn’t fully finished yet and it's kinda illegal to skate there… we couldn’t resist, hehe! You can check a clip of this spot in my video!

We’re definitely coming back soon to film for the official video. Can’t wait!


Lefkada Skate Tour


It’s been over a month since our last "Synopsis" skate tour, so we were all hyped to hit some fresh spots! We decided to travel to Lefkada, a small island on the western side of Greece packed with amazing skate spots. It was the perfect destination since we only had three days to skate, and everything was so close allowing us to move to multiple spots in a single day super-fast!

Only a 2h drive from where we live, we arrived at Lefkada and settled in @dskiadaresis house! It's his hometown! House was conveniently located at the center of the city so not much walking to do if we need anything, spacy enough for all 3 of us to sleep and the best part?!? My homie has a sick skate video collection!

Check out some of these gems he's been gatekeeping for over 20 years!

For those wondering, "Finally" is a Greek skateboarding full-length released in 2007 (unavailable online) and "SYEAH SKATE - ΑΡΡΩΣΤΙΑ" is a Greek roller-blading full-length! Skaters and roller-bladers have a cool relationship here in Greece hehe!

After a quick break, we hit the streets again, and the first stop on our Lefkada skate tour was this sick marble plaza in a small village on the island. Only a 20-minute drive away, and it was the perfect spot to skate as the sun started going down. Smooth ground, no noise and perfect ledges! What more could you ask for?

Got there, warmed up and the filming session begun! My homies @dskiadaresis and @nostha faced no trouble getting their clips, while I was on filmer duty!

Here's the bench my homies skated that night, and the same bench I skated a couple days later while we re-visited the spot!

And not just this square! We skated many more spots and stacked a shitload of clips during this 3-days skate tour! Like the "Music School of Lefkada", a paradise for ledge skaters thanks to it's dozens of marble ledges!

@dskiadaresis filming local shredder Kostas! Dude has crazy good style


Don't wanna share more photos so I don't "burn" the spots we filmed at, but believe me, this tour was probably the best tour in terms of tricks stacked since we started filming "Synopsis" a year ago! And at age 33, returning home with 3 clips in less than 72 hours is gold hehe!


Recovery Time


Got back home sore as hell after that trip! Gonna need a couple of physiotherapy sessions to get my knees and ankles feeling fresh again. Did some last week and felt so regenerated after. That’s exactly what I need right now!

Big shoutout to my homie and local skate legend skater Paul, who is my physiotherapist. Dude always takes great care of me whenever my body’s wrecked. Appreciate you, brother!

"Synopsis" Coming Soon...


We’re aiming to wrap up filming by mid-April and drop the full film in late May 2025! It’s been a dope adventure touring around Greece, stacking clips, and making this project a reality. Huge respect to the legends from @gnars community for funding our film! Love you all!

Till the film is ready, stay tuned cause more of those phone clip edits and posts are coming your way! Much love to everyone and...

Thanks G! Yeah, spot is epic! Lefkada island floods with tourists after May, and we're glad to skate this spot before this happens! Filmed a full speed line in this square!
