SXA for FELEM SKATES Japan

Spent a couple evenings last week printing some tees for my friend Tsuyoshi the owner of FELEM SKATES in Japan. According to Tsuyoshi the Japanese love themselves some BBQ just like we do here in Hawaii. Being that he runs the most hardcore skateshop / distribution I feel very honored to have my SXA goods in his shop next to a lot of the brands that inspired me to do what I do. FELEM carries Jason Jessee's Driven Skateboards and Hi Bond Modified as well as Kyle's Death Machine Corpse, and Grant's Royal Hawaiian Pool Service. Aside from owning a skateshop Tsuyoshi also has his hands in on building skateparks both in Japan as well the new parks in Lahaina and Hana, Maui. He's been understudying under the Grindline crew who are notorious skatepark builders from the Pacific Northwest. If you ever need to find Tsuyoshi when he's here in Hawaii all you have to do is go to the Hideaway Bar and he's usually there suckin' em up with da braddahs!
