It’s fascinating how the skateboarding scene has evolved, with talents now emerging far beyond the traditional California hotspots. Tania Cruz, a Foundation rookie, exemplifies this shift, having moved to Barcelona, Spain to pursue her skateboarding aspirations. This move, thousands of miles from the “epicenter” of the sport, has proven to be a smart decision, as she’s gained recognition from notable brands like Foundation and Vans. It’s a refreshing alternative to the intense competition and recycled spots of Los Angeles, offering a unique path for aspiring skaters.
Choosing a life where tasty tapas and crisp beers are readily available for lunch, followed by a relaxing siesta, sounds much more appealing than the typical fast-food and energy drink fueled grind. But, getting back on track, let’s talk about the real highlight here: a curated mix by Tania Cruz. This isn’t just any playlist; it’s a soundtrack to her skateboarding journey.
