TCSS x Penny Flick

A couple of months ago we linked up with filmmaker Dustin Miller, the man behind such films as 'Slow Dance' to shoot a lil piece to showcase our collaboration nickel skateboard with Penny. The 2 minute piece, shot on 16mm features Pama Davies pushing his way from East side to the North side in search of waves.

Enjoy and a few behind the scenes snaps to boot. Penny board available via here.
