Outskirts Of Town

Vagrant Skateboards team rider Elijah Akerley and Blood Wizard skateboards pro Kevin Kowalski took a pacific northwest adventure.

Recently Blood Wizard skateboards has joined Vagrant skateboards at Alley Distribution in San Diego. This was a long anticipated move. Both brands fit together like brothers.

Vagrant has long been championing the underdog amateur skateboarder. Focusing on supporting skaters to progress and play on the image that skateboarders are all Vagrants.

Blood Wizard started out with a similar mission. Support amateur skateboarders as they grow and achieve their potential. Much more magic involved in their mission.

The Blood Wizard team got so good they had to start turning them Pro. Jack Given, Chris Gregson, and Kevin Kowalski are the current roster of professional skateboarders.

Since the two companies have joined the same distribution company, it only makes sense that their riders would start to mingle.

Watch as Kevin Kowalski plays host to a touring Elijah Akerley on a magical tour of the Pacific Northwest.

Platform Distribution is the official Canadian skateboard distributor for both Vagrant Skateboards and Blood Wizard skateboards.
