Located in the heart of the action sport industry, Carlsbad, California, the Alga Norte Community Skate Park required extensive community involvement and participation of several professional skaters during design charrettes.
We created this skate park by wrapping it around a retention basin, giving it a flowing look and providing wonderful views. Its aesthetics are enhanced further with an urban plaza theme, integrating a color pallet to reflect the prevalent Spanish style architecture, and a transition arch inspired by the shape of Carlsbad’s historic mission.
When we started kiting in 2003, there were only a few of us riding. Since then, the sport has developed very quickly; it’s now known by the general public and its appeal keeps on growing. Riding virgin spots has become increasingly difficult. Discoveries tend to be chance encounters.
With this video series “Untouched Territories” we wish to embark you on a journey towards unusual landscapes and share the feelings we enjoy when kitesurfing. After 15 years of riding these sensations have remained intact.
This first episode was shot in Vinalhaven, an island of the coast of Maine in the North East of the United States. We were brought there while shooting a documentary following the steps of the artist Robert Indiana, one of the pioneers of the Pop Art movement. You must probably know his LOVE sculptures, exhibited on the streets of the world’s largest cities. The shots of this episode are taken from a web documentary that will be released this year, in 2016.
