Vans Protec Pool Party

Many of you who felt the record-breaking heat this weekend in the greater Los Angeles region probably like me, were forced to resort to cooler means. Some of you probably went to the beach, but because of recent shark attacks in the headlines, I made sure to stay away from any waves. But if I really wanted waves, there was the option of going to Raging Waters in San Dimas because they have an artificial wave pool. But about 15 years ago when I was a kid, I had a nightmare of an experience while in the wave pool, I dove down to the bottom to grab something I saw from the surface. When I picked up this mysterious object, it turned out to be a turd. I was extremely grossed out and never stepped foot at Raging Waters again.
So instead, I heard about the huge pool party thrown by Vans. I decided last minute to attend because I figured that Vans usually tends to attract girls from skateboarding, snowboarding, and surf. So I was pretty psyched. But when I arrived, the hot steamy sausage fest presented itself to me. No water, and hardly any chicks. But I decided to stay anyway and check out the skateboarding. A lot of the O.G. guys were there and the guys at Vital Skate were thoughtful enough to share their footage. It was dope, Chris Miller, Omar Hassan, Bucky Lasek, Rune Glifberg and other skateboarding gods were at the Vans Protec Pool Party 2008.
