Hello everyone, my name's Andy. I've been engaging in various extreme sports my whole life. Kiteboarding, surfing, skimboarding and skateboarding are some of them. I've been skateboarding in Goa for a long time and I've personally experienced the rise in popularity of the sport in India. I got to witness some of the first ramps and skateparks being built (Goalis bowl, Cirrus) here as well as participate in the first small/local contests during Third Eye Tour (which may be insignificant to most people but it meant a lot to me at that time). I've participated in many more contests in the following years in Delhi and Bangalore which seemed to become bigger and more interesting each year. My old skate crew fell apart as some people left and some stopped skating, which lead me to find a new group of awesome people while street skating in Panjim. One fine day, my friend V' handed me a random board with a logo "painted" on it. He said he wanted me to try it out and tell him my thoughts on how it felt. I was skeptical about it being a suitable board for me as it was half an inch less wide than what I was used to. I skated it nevertheless and landed the new trick I was trying shortly after. I told him, "This board feels great!" The neatly-gripped board had the letters: P,I,S and O painted onto it.
