I’ve always liked the idea of what an opera represents. I love the fact that the literal definition of it is, “a performance of one”. To me, that’s skateboarding in a nutshell. It’s just you, but you can have just as much fun by yourself or with a group. I love all the stuff that comes from the idea of operas: the stage, theatrics and storytelling. I was always moved by that, the masquerade and the mischievous nature of what operas are all about. It felt like a perfect aesthetic evolution for the new Opera Skateboards.
