Episode 18: Pablo
We are pleased to share a podcast devoted to Pablo. Last year before the pandemic while we were in San Francisco for the launch of Pablo’s Foundation. We had the pleasure of meeting @alexgrardel a French Podcaster @pelerinagesamericains who was traveling and hitchhiking across America sharing and writing stories about American pilgrimages.
The day we met Alex he was at the John Coltrane Church learning about John’s life and the church — He also coincidentally had heard so many people talk about Pablo while he was in SF. That same day we were celebrating Pablo’s life. Alex (who spoke French met Herve @2sailingchefs and asked us if we would be interested in sharing Pablo’s story and how Pablo’s life and legacy has impacted skateboarding here in San Francisco and beyond for his Podcast. We were honored.
The podcast is about inspiration, skateboarding and friendships.
This podcast is dedicated to Pablo and celebrates what a French foreigner felt by learning more about Pablo and the pilgrimages skateboarders have made to San Fran and especially to Twin Peaks. The Podcast is about 60% in French with many interviews in English. If you don’t speak French, don’t worry we have included the English translation, link in our bio for you to follow along — even if you speak no French, the music, the stories and the sounds will make you feel as close to what its like to connect to the spirit and essence of friendship and skateboarding in San Francisco.
Thank you Alex @Alexgrardel at @pelerinagesamericains for all the time and love you shared in connecting to Pablo’s Foundation and being so inspired for how Pablo lived his life —-and thank you for making this beautiful podcast. Thank you to everyone who was interviewed as well and for sharing your stories. Enjoy the podcast.
