The clip a lot of you have been waiting for, the iconic @artofoto Fakie Kickflip down MACBA 4 from @flipskateboards ‘Sorry’ video. There’s some things you can’t quite put your finger on, but it’s perfect. The girls watching from the window as he comes into frame, the powerful fakie flip, the carve back around as if the stairs just got in his way…it’s perfect. You really can’t make a groundbreaking trick look any more casual. And of course, the song just ties it all together. 👌

On the cover of our new issue: In the world of lamination, Jack Reeves rises above. From volan to E-glass, he lays cloth with a master’s hand and eye. To get the full scope of how Reeves became the go-to glasser for shaping’s inner circle—and, in the process, turned into the best in the world at his craft—read “Pulling the Tape” on page 116.

Inside, we draw parallels between the surf and aerospace industries, get lucky at a fickle Polynesian slab, trace the altered history of Bawa, and lurk in Malibu’s parking lot. We also tap into the knowledge of an ace forecaster on the cutting-edge of swell science, study surf-art allegory, hang with a newly content nomad, slide 11-foot-plus boards, and more.

The second chapter of AFTER LAB × Arto Saari unfolds through a dreamlike rainbow—an image pulled straight from BikePath, where blur becomes emotion and light tells its own story.
Arto transforms fleeting moments into something timeless, bending colors and movement until they feel almost unreal. This poncho carries that vision—fluid, vibrant, alive.

Welcome to the AFTER LAB x Arto Saari collaboration project.
Arto Saari—Finnish photographer, filmmaker, and former pro skateboarder—has spent decades capturing raw, fleeting moments with a signature blend of grit and poetry. Deeply rooted in skate and surf culture, his work moves between chaos and calm, documenting freedom, solitude, and the spaces in between. A true visual storyteller with a rebel soul.

I’m really excited to finally share the names of the four artists who did me the honor of collaborating with me on this collection for @after.essentials .
This project wouldn’t be the same without them. For me, it’s truly a pleasure, I’ve admired their work for a long time and really appreciate what each one bring to the art world. If you’re not already familiar with their work, I definitely recommend checking them out !
I’ll reveal my design on March 31.
Stay connected!
