Dubai
New Giftorm is out and I put together this 18 page piece about our Dubai trip last year. Good memories for sure and I wouldn’t hesitate to visit again. Pool on the roof, beach park across the street and a sick Libyan restaurant downstairs from where we were living. Let’s not forget the perfect street spots in Abu Dhabi either.
Algorta
Just got back from one of my favorite places ever, Algorta outside Bilbao. Well the whole area is fantastic, Getxo, Sopelana, Leioa. Amazing skatespots, beautiful landscape, nice climate, friendly people, great surfing and then La Kantera – the greatest skatepark located on the beach in an old ruin. Just beautiful. Algortas pool has drawn people from all over the world and there isn’t many of the top pros that haven’t visited La Kantera, but it is really the old classic spanish style bowl that is what La Kantera is all about.
Me and my friends came here the first time in 2002 with our motorhome and returned every summer until we built our own concrete park here in Malmö in 2005. Anyway it was amazing to be back and here’s a few shots from a few years back.

Futurum wheels ad
Another advert with Johan. This time from Futurum wheels. I remember this day clearly as I also shot one of my all time favorite photos while laying down on the ground in front of the curb waiting for Johan to pull himself together for this sick feeble back tailslide. I also remember laying in apple tobacco.
