Weekend at Porpe's

Published 2/4/2019 by Rob Meronek

Jorge aka Porpe had a few people over for that one skull crushing spectacle they put on the television every year. I've been trying to get close with my camera again after several years of our relationship being on the rocks, so snapped a few. I also handed the camera over the the children for a while and got back some interesting perspective and results.

The Streetstyle Contest at Dew Tour Portland looks insane in person. Then when you see people like Raven and Sheckler skate the stuff, it's even more nuts. We could relocate The Boardr offices to Portland. This city too good. We've got photos and video from the whole weekend here.
