Stories are the foundation of our lives. At GP5 Productions, we thrive on creating impactful content that resonates with brands in the outdoor and adventure sports world, sharing stories that connect people with the culture and lifestyle behind the sports they love.
In our latest collaboration, we had the privilege of working with Carver Skateboards and the talented team rider Achraf Et-Touyjer, better known in the skateboarding world as Surf Skater Style.
“Skateboarding to me is a form of self expression”
Achraf Et-Touyjer.
Achraf traveled to the skateboarding mecca of Venice Beach, California, for an exciting shoot that would not only showcase his talent but also highlight the deep meaning behind his passion for skateboarding.
Skateboarding is more than just a sport, after all—it’s a form of self-expression, a way to feel free and connect with the world around you.
This is the essence that Achraf embodies through his craft. Our goal was to give audiences a glimpse into how skating represents not only a physical act but a powerful outlet for personal expression.
“The concept of the shoot was simple: take Achraf to an often-overlooked gem, the Venice Canals, and use this to tell his story.”
The energy at the park was contagious as we captured Achraf in his element, showing off Achraf’s natural style and fluidity on his skateboard before heading to the canals.
The second protagonist of the video was Carver’s Ghostnet board. This board is the latest addition to their collection, and it couldn’t have been a better fit for Achraf’s style and the overall vibe of the video.
This is his style. His identity.
Throughout the entire process, we remained in close contact with Achraf and the team online. This ensured that his essence, both as an athlete and as an individual, was properly captured and represented.
Thanks to the collective efforts of Carver Skateboards, Surf Skater Style, and GP5 Productions, we’re thrilled to present “Surf Skater Style in Venice.” Tune in for the full video, now available on our YouTube channel, GP5TV.
