Some girls, some skateboards, just a nice day…
Last episode, the crew journeyed into the Saharan dunes for a romantic evening with camels and two days lathered in sunscreen. A three day break altogether from skating makes them eager to get back on the road, starting from Ourzazate, traveling east through Valee Du Dades, coincidentally for the Festival of the Roses in El Kelaa M’gouna. Passing off...
Back in September Max Willis undertook at 6 day 220km skate trek from Dali to Shaxi. He created this video which perfectly describes his experience during as well has some of things he learnt when preparing for his journey. There are some gear reviews, on the road survival tips, and local flavours…everything to inspire and help you prepare your...
After accomplishing the highest mountain pass in Morocco on skateboard, the three are graced with a wonderful tailwind and smooth pavement to the small city of Ourzazate. Strapping on Sporting Sails for the evening and catching magical tailwinds does not foreshadow what Adam, Paul, and Aaron are about to encounter. Skating the Vallee Du Draa to its dead end in...

We had over 200 riders this year. The gnar was spread!! Push Race vibration… Thank you to all our sponsors and supporters. You all helped us to...
14 minutes of Longtreks! Our terrible trio goes from being lost in the souks of Marrakech to combing the High Atlas mountains in search of the Lost Peak “Tizi n’tischka”. This episode, enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells (scratch and sniff) of Marakech. Weave and wind the twisted streets, past riads, merchants, and snake charmers. Clean off the grime...
You may think from looking through all the stuff here on skatefurther that we only like BIG trips or push races with BIG money prizes. Far from it. In fact, way back at the beginning this site was all about pushing yourself further than you have been before. Summer adventures on a skateboard are where we all started. Skate...
It’s Longtreks time again We are SO stoked when the newest video comes out. Part 3 of Longtreks Morocco: Safi to Marrakech and the 3 Dees of Danger
We are stoked on Longtreks Friday. You should be too! The cultural exchange between longboarders and Moroccans seems to be going very well! Paul, Adam, and Aaron are invited by the most hospitable locals, receive large smiles from children and elders, and exchange tribal music. It’s their second day on the road, and chip seal pavement jitters their bones....
