JOURNEY THROUGH SOUTH AFRICA: DAY 1 – 3

A group of skateboarders from Germany and South Africa made an unusual and long journey through the country. Together with Revolution, they collected boards, shoes and clothing to hand-out to kids within the poorer areas between Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg. Fourteen days of driving and over 4000 km with Justus Kotzé, Niklas Speer von Cappeln, Louis Taubert, photographers Andrea de Souto and Sam Clark. Cinematographer Lucas Fiederling documented the journey, the countryside and of course the skateboarding…

Justus and Louis giving some skate lessons… not too easy!

Justus and the van. The plan was to drive as far as we can…We didn’t make it too far, but it was definitely a good day of skating.

First stop, Somerset West. Not even an half an hour away from Cape Town.

Niklas backtailing it in Caledon.

No one really knew that Mosselbay is such a good place to skate. We got stuck and spent the whole day skating rad spots over there….After a whole day of skating everyone was pretty mellow. we built up the tent and had a really funny night.

Be sure to check back tomorrow for more action and photos from The Journey Through South Africa…
