Another bug bites the dust


And so we've been in Póvoa do Varzim between 28 and 31 March, where Sunnubrand Team came to meet us for the second time. This time, they've been here to show us the real swiss style...

Yeah, we miss them already...

Sunnubrand is at a step of presenting their new colection, and for what we know of Sunnubrand, it will be another awesome colection. They left us a Raclette heater, but we didn't have any bacon, so this is how we made our portuguese raclette.

It was in Póvoa do Varzim that we first presented Portugal by Skate's Roadshow, and the kids there loved the idea!

Here goes a small and noisy video where you can check how it came out.

The contest for the slogan has a winner: "ecologically fast" won a downhill DVD.


Our business is growing too, and from now on Portugal by Skate's longboards will be in Angola, Cape Vert, Mozambique, S. Tomé, Guiné, Brazil, and Timor. All the countries where portuguese is spoken will get to know our vehicles...


Have fun, ride safe, see you soon!

Finally ready to go!

All the sporsorships requirements are now closed: we're happy about our support, and without it Portugal by Skate wouldn't work!

Therefore we must thank to Movijovem that will provide acommodations in Pousadas da Juventude, to DJ Cheve who is going to bring to PortugalbySkate a soundystem, take nice photos, drive the van and ride toOo...

Our gratitude to IDT which institutionalized (sorry if you can find this word in your dictionary) our desire to do something for society.

A huge thanks to Central de Cervejas, to Panegara and to Agel. Also to SG Consulting, to Gabinete de Terapias Manuais which will look after participants health and to AboardShop that keeps giving it's skates for everyone to use.

A big hug to those who still believe and cherish our philosophy, such as Família Fazuma, OndaSurf, Conquilha, JCServ, Cenas a Pedal, Aqui Brazil! and everyone we don't mention here.

And a big thanks, gracias, grazie, danke, merci, arigato, to all the friends that make our insanes ideas look as perfectly normal ideas.

Our new site is getting dressed too: meanwhile watch some cool videos at http://www.portugaldeskate.org/, our new internet adress.
