When we woke in the morning, Aaron and Hacki were not around! We thought maybe they had caught a train back to Barcelona after getting lost! We decided to go on without them anyway! We got some food items and started the day off right with a pineapple, a baguette, and some cans of fish Alex bought from some guys sitting by us. We chowed down and had a tiny warm up shred on the mini ramp beside us.
We went back to the van and headed to the "Thrasher Epic Spot". So sick man! Banks with benches in between them surrounded by water! Then we got a call from the boys! They had slept on the beach drunk! Alex went to pick up and when they turned up, aaron and hacki had more beers open in hand! Ahhaha Austrians can drink man! We filmed and got photos of skating and even of sunset!
Thomas was hyped to make his famous chili con carne. Really good tho! We ate that and just chilled around for the night. Watched vbs.com "vice guide to Liberia" whoa! Really really gnarly!
Troy, Alex, and I woke early to catch the sun rise at a spot Thomas showed us the previous night called El Balcon de Meditareno (balcony of the Mediterranean). They say being there and touching the fence brings good luck! It was so fresh! I had never seen the sun rise over water before. The water was so calm.. Very chill! Then we woke the block up with some serious powerslides and even got the policia called on us! We bailed the heat by bombing some hills and made it to a little bar for a café. When we walked in there were about 8 old men inside with porno blasting on the tv screen.. It's like 8:30 am! We had a great laugh and a coffee then made our way to get a baguette. One of the older guys from the bar was going the same way and he said that same video is on everyday! Ahha!
We went for a swim in the Mediterranean which was so perfect man! Really nice! Then we went back to the flat and rounded up the others. We got in the van and cruised up the hill a bit to skate some spots and see some more sites! Thomas took us to some really good spots! Marble double set hubbas, metal ledges, ancient roman stables, hill bombs! Tarragona is so rad!
We shredded for hours and when we returned to the van we noticed a water mark trailing away from the smashed backside of the van! Troy and I bolted down the street to find the culprit and did in fact find him! It was a gypsy guy driving a red hatchback car with a CRUSHED front end and a lady all messed up in the back! We tried to stop the car, Troy even hit the car, but the guy just bailed. Luckily, we met back to the homies with a photo of the license plate! After some paperwork at the police station we headed to one more ditch spot and the Austrians wanted to eat at Burger King! Ahhha! I said "Burger Führer"! Ahhah! They ate... Then we made the voyage back to Barcelona! Great times!!
