Learning to skate

Tuesday, March 10, 2015

This past weekend we have been blessed with such a beautiful spring sunny weather. Totally unexpected. But we really needed some warmth and light after almost four weeks of rain in a row... Welcome to Basque Country folks!

Anyway, I thought it could be the right moment for me to dust off my boyfriend's longboard skate and ask him to teach me. I admit it was not the first time on a skateboard for me, but it had been such a long time since the last ride.

I had so much fun! Starting slowly, at the end I was really enjoying some little more speed. If you can actually call it this way ;)

Andrea also took me on a video, but I care about you (and I got some kind of reputation, you know!) so I won't put it on-line. However, if the best skater is the one having the most fun (busted, I stole this quote from surfing), I can say I'm quite a pro! ;)

Plus, If you haven't noticed yet, I'm wearing these super cool Akela Surf leggings. I love them because you can wear them in and out of the water. With some heels for a sleeker look, with your everyday sneakers to create a casual outfit or with your favorite bikini. So, basically you can live with them on!
They can definitely have a place on my list of tips for packing light during the next surftrip... Just saying! ;)


So, here is to sunny days, boards, lots of fun and cool outfits!

I hope you guys had a wonderful weekend!

Noseriding in Lafitenia

Thursday, April 24, 2014
It's thursday morning and it's raining outside. Typing all this from a work office, I let my mind flow and give life to a few memories from the last weekend...

A noseriding competition took place here in the Basque Country, in a spot by the name of Lafitenia - the Saint Jean de Luz Longboard Classic.
Such amazing peeling beauties were the protagonist of the whole scene. All the sliders were their passionate lovers. No need to describe such perfection.
Here a sneak peek of the competition - from an Italian point of view, of course!
