C’est l’histoire d’un bowl au Brésil, vers Rio et la plage d’Ipanema, voué à la destruction puis sauvé, restauré et ridé aujourd’hui.
Et puis c’est surtout le genre d’images dont j’ai besoin en ce jour froid, pluvieux, venteux.
Enjoy.

Localizado no Parque Garota de Ipanema o bowl do Arpoador foi inaugurado no ano de 1991. Idealizado por Cesinha Chaves, o bowl já foi visitado por grandes nomes do skate mundial.

Em agosto de 2008 o jornal O Dia anunciou que o bowl seria demolido e daria espaço a um observatório ambiental. A notíciaa uniu skatistas de todo mundo, que se mobilizaram em um abaixo assinado em favor do bowl.

Em setembro de 2009 a Converse reformou toda a área do bowl do Arpoador, entregando á população com um grande evento, trazendo 40 skatistas de 4 gerações, que nasceram, cresceram, evoluiram e até aqueles que ainda não sentiram o gosto do copping block do bowl.
