Hurley Skatepark Opening Photos And Video!

On September 26th, 2007, Hurley opened its doors to their newly finished skatepark held inside their warehouse at their HQ in Costa Mesa, CA. Everyone from the team was in town to help celebrate and people were able to witness skating from the likes of Kris Markovich, James Atkin, Andre Genovesi, Aaron Astorga, Bob Burnquist, Rodolfo Ramos, Wagner Ramos, Curren Caples, Collin Hale, John Dickson, David Loy, along with sessions from their friends Fabrizio Santos, Omar Hassan, Daggers' Dave Duncan and Eddie Reategui! Evan surf great Rob Machado was in the house! Guests were treated to catering by Nalu's, with drinks from Sambazon, sodas, water, and, of course, kegs of beer! It's safe to say that everyone had a good time and witnessed some great skating.

Bob Burnquist eyeing the top of that H. There's gotta be at least 10 feet of straight vert there... what is he thinking?!

Bank/hip on the left and a gnarly bank-to-wall setup on the right.

These hubbas are legit. Cement top for killer grinds.

Hanging out tent-side.

Nalu's Island Grill had some killer chicken, beef and fish. Great teriyaki sauce, too.

Andre Genovesi going to work on his food.

David Loy getting a scoop of rice from a Nalu's worker. I think he likes her...

...yeah, I know he does 'cause he did this sick Frontside Crail on the big bank-to-wall for her.

Aaron Astorga was going huge with Frontside Airs from the quarterpipe to the top of the bank-to-wall.

Aaron Astorga with a Backside Tail/Pivot on top of some tranny.

Kris Markovich with a Backside Nosepick on top of the tranny.

John Dickson was coming much too close to Back Nose Blunts.

Omar Hassan, proper Foot-Plant off the wall.

Got it! Epic Rock Fakie above the H from Bob Burnquist. Shuttin' it down on opening night!
