Saturday the 8th of August saw the release of the Dan Cates guest board on Forty Skateboards. To mark this momentous occasion, a modest launch party took place at Skate Pharm in sunny old Margate, followed by a pool party at Cates’ house the next day. Wig Worland and Ben ‘Biscuits’ Wilks were on hand to capture the action and Nic Powely was on hand to man the BBQ. Enjoy the pool shralpin’ below!
