WE WENT DOWN TO CUBA WITH MADARS APSE TO GET A HANDS-ON LOOK AT CUBA SKATE

We’re proud to introduce a short documentary highlighting the efforts of Cuba Skate, a nonprofit organization dedicated to cultivating a sustainable future for skateboarding in Cuba. DC pro Madars Apse joined a crew of skaters and cinematographers as they got a hands-on, inside look at the burgeoning skate scene in Cuba.

Beyond just bringing skateboarding to the island, the film showcases how Cuba Skate brings the youth together and helps them to develop skills such as recycling, woodworking, construction, photography, and much more. By enriching the youth with useful life skills, Cuba Skate is giving a new generation of leaders the tools not just to skate, but to tackle the challenges in their daily lives.

Along with the documentary, we worked with the Cuba Skate crew on a limited shoe and apparel collection. Available September 18, 2021.
