Skateboard painting workshop with local kids in Cuba

This was the skateboard painting workshop that I led yesterday, with a bunch of local Cuban kids. It was spontaneous and chaotic and fun as everything else at that DIY skatepark we’ve been serving the last few days.

The event with @amigoskatecuba went great, awesome music was played, 30 Skateboard’s where given away and many people where happy. Its very inspiring to observe this Cuban skate scene cause their resources are so limited (no skate shops nor money to buy the gear), yet they are so passionate about it. They are so united in the stoke of skating and I saw zero judgement towards our differences. We are all just skaters having fun, helping each other find some peace in our crazy world full of unjust rules (like unfair embargos). #skateboardingisnotacrime #skateart #workshop #amigoskatecuba #humanitystoked #humanitystokedfilm #havana #cuba #diyskatepark #thankyouskateboarding #art #artist #travel #service
