South American ditches

You may not have seen this on the Hopkin Skate Blog. We had three skaters from the Hopkin Racing Team (Rob, Maga and Luca) in Peru the last 6 weeks.

If you take your eyes off Maga’s photo at the top and scroll down you will find Organos.

Organos is a town in Peru that is built on a network of ditches. It is hard to tell what came first, the town or the ditches but it is the Venice of ditches…except these ditches dont have water in them.

The team skated on longboards, but these ditches deserve a skateboard.

All I can say is: put Organos on your bucket list.


Yes, that is a taxis in the background … when your finished ditching they’ll take you home!!


That is Marisa, one of the best women skaters in Peru, you can find a video of her here and she is part of the Kata Longboard Crew see below :slight_smile:
