Eneka Slide Gussie Groundswell

Eneka Iglesias

Eneka was born in the Basque Country, in love with the sea and mountains that surrounded her. She has always been divided between the worlds of arts and sports, and after spending the entire quarantine watching surfskate videos it didn’t take her long to buy her first Slide Gussie at the Hawaii store in Donosti; from then on she hasn’t stopped surfing the best spots in Gipuzkoa. What she likes most about skating is the feeling of freedom it gives her and the beautiful community that this sport has. Now she’s studying theater in Barcelona and when she is not on stage, she’s flowing on the streets and skateparks of the city.

Carlos Martin

Carlos comes from Barcelona and has always lived near the seaside. He started surfing when he was 8 and was so stoked that he learnt to skate one year later to improve his surfing anytime he could. What he loves about surfing is the connection with nature, you can feel this when you see him riding waves.

Sometimes he finds frustrating that you depend so much on the conditions of the sea, that’s why he was so hooked when he discovered surfskating. Since then, he can’t stop surfing the streets, bowls, skateparks…whatever he finds on his way!
