"Sweat, stamped passports, and stacked sessions—such were the makings of Nike 6.0’s groundbreaking first wakeskate team movie. Aquafrolics captures the travels, travails, and progression-fueled fun had by the talented 6.0 teamriders over the past year. The crew—Nick Taylor, Ben Horan, Matt Manzari, and Andrew Pastura—joined forces with innovative filmer Matt Staker to push the envelope on both riding and filming techniques. From winching rivers in the Philippines, to countless hours behind the Sea-Doo, and never-before landed tricks at Ben’s homemade backyard pond, not to mention all the impromptu roadtrips and camera-angle experimentation—Aquafrolics is packed with insane action and sheer love of the sport."

Admission is free but please bring a can or two of food for the Second Harvest Food Bank. Every month, more than 216,000 people in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties rely on the Food Bank to help them feed themselves and their families. Help us feed our neighbors in need!

Thursday Night Live-Parks Documentary 10/22

It's for real this time, the Parks Documentary is in stock!!! Join us next Thursday October 22nd.

Doors Open at 7:00pm, movie starts at 7:30pm.

Free Pizza, Red Bull, and Giveaways!!!

"It took 27 years, locations all over the world and the last half a decade in production, but the Parks Bonifay Documentary is finally here. This tale, this man, his unconventional youth and unbelievable adulthood, flirting with disaster, challenging life, the triumphs of winning everything in sight, and tribulations of incomprehensible injury, all add up to one thing: his movie. Come along as the life of an extraordinary athlete and his incredible family and childhood unfolds before you. It's a life worth seeing: from the time in Omaha when we watched helplessly as the sports' greatest all-time athlete almost drowned in three feet of water, to a broken steering cable on a rickety film boat bobbing in the Teahupoo channel, to the historical footage of an infant on the water. The story of Parks Bonifay brings both never seen before mind blowing content and the untold core story of the most highly acclaimed athlete in our sport."
