Title: Help Getting Skateboards into Gaza
Post by: sexualhelon on March 27, 2019, 04:22:57 AM

A friend of mine, the local coordinator for SkatePal, is trying to figure out a way to get Skateboards into the Gaza Strip since a new skatepark was just built there.

This might be a long shot but maybe someone here knows Alex Klein? You know... the guy who turned the last OIAM into a reality tv show that pretty much everyone on Slap hated. I figured someone might, considering. He made a documentary called 'God Went Surfing with The Devil' 10 years ago or so where they managed to get surfboards into Gaza. If he still had his contacts from that it would be cool to pass them along. Thanks!

Edit: Nvm. Already got in touch with him and can hopefully make this happen. But if you guys have any other people you'd want to put me in touch with who could potentially help, shoot me a dm.

You are most certainly an ardent supporter of futile causes.

Ay, well I made it happen so apparently not. Your comment on an internet forum is definitely making a difference in the world though.

I think Ryan Lay recently visited this part of the world. Maybe he has some advice or some product to donate.
