SATURDAY - 6.27PM - SUN DIEGO DEMO AND SIGNING WAS AWESOME
The demo and signing at Sun Diego in National City was a huge success. The guys all skated for at least an hour before heading over to the new Sun Diego store for an autograph signing. Below are a few photos from the demo today. Thanks to everyone from Sun Diego to make this event happen!!
This Sun Diego store opened their doors today. The mall security and police got a bit nervous from the 200 kids that were waiting outside the store but everything worked out and they were stoked.

SUNDAY 9.12PM - FIRST DAY GPS SO-CAL SKATE TOUR IS DONE
8/3/2008
The Volcom team just skated the Culver City Skatepark until it was too dark to land any tricks. The park is pretty new and it has a bunch of steep quarterpipes and banks. A lot of local kids showed up to see this stop of the GPS So-Cal tour. Mark, Louie and Brandon were shredding the steep transitions with fs and bs noseblunts while Colin was working on his quarterpipe to 5 foot high axle stall.
Today was a great start of the tour. Tomorrow we're going to a few different cities; we're thinking about hitting up Aliso Viejo, Brea and Costa Mesa. Keep checking this blog to find out where we'll be exactly tomorrow or call the Volcom RV Hotline at 949-283-1036. Nice one!
