Vans went all out for this one, flying in media and shop owners the world over for a two-day experience in Palm Springs. The reason? Curren Caples’ first signature shoe with the brand and the premiere of a ripping new video part. Drop in and take a ride out to the desert with us.

We took advantage of our interview time with Curren on day one to film this homage to The Studio series that’s currently on Apple TV.

Curren and his shoe at the Saguaro Hotel.

After media interviews at the Saguaro, we had plenty of down time at the hotel pool before the night’s festivities at Palm Springs’ famous Surf Club:

Ah, the glorious Palm Springs Surf Club!

Branding on point, all week, everywhere.

The hot tubs by the waves were a nice touch.

The A-Frame breaking, the sun setting, it was all too magical.

As the rules were written, you must drink two martinis before you paddle out!

They even let media kooks like me, your humble narrator, in for a dip.

After the wave pool madness, everyone piled into the Saguaro’s hotel bar for more drinks and convos with our friends and shop owners we haven’t seen in a while. Day one in the books. 

Media bros cool off on the Tahquitz Canyon hike.

Day Two: A couple of our media bros were out in the early hours of the day and mentioned a nearby hike to a couple of waterfalls. We had to check it out, so myself, Jaime Owens, Mike B from Village Psychic and Jihone from Deluxe got in a nice afternoon hike and dip. The weather out there was perfect. 

The main event: The Desert Experience. Curren catches a kickflip across the concrete egg shells.

At 6pm, we were bussed 40 minutes out to the desert of Indio onto a private ranch that was outfitted for the evening’s activities. Here’s Vans’ video of it!

This here is the snake wrangler Vans had to hire for insurance purposes to keep everyone safe!

An experience it was. Upon arrival, we were all greeted with caviar bumps and champagne. The main attraction were two concrete egg shell-shaped half pipes, with no flat bottom. Curren, Zion Wright, Roman Pabich and Shiloh Catori had to problem ripping them apart—until one of them collapsed! What’s a skateboarding event without a little drama?

The set up, the chandelier.

Like skating ancient ruins.

The tray-passed snacks were amazing, the homies were on hand, and the sunset was beautiful. It was shaping up to be the perfect night for Curren’s big debut. 

The glory of the desert. 

Blair Alley

Everybody was tryin’ to get all fisheye so I just laid back and shot long lens.

Shiloh Catori had no problem with a blunt.

The session lasted into the night, then it was time for Curren’s big video part premiere. With a live introduction from Geoff Rowley that anyone would kill for for their best man speech, we were all treated to another fast-paced, ripping part from Curren set to a great REO Speedwagon track. You’ll be seeing it soon!

Just slow down your shutter speed and you’ll probably catch someone else’s flash. Roman Pabich getting inverted.

After the desert experience, we were all bussed back to the hotel with a head full of stoke and desert dust. Karaoke popped off in the cantina and before we knew it, it was time to hit the dusty trail home. Thank you Van, what a week. Congrats Curren!
