Against all the odds, the sun turned up in Swansea on Sunday for Exist’s skateboard competition.

Thanks to the competitors for putting on a cool show, and of course to the organisers, bands and everyone else who helped put on the event.

Exist Opening New Outlet

Exist Clothing, established in 2001, are busy refurbishing their outlet (above Hobo’s) ready for its grand (re)opening this month.

Through constant hard-work, the company has built up its reputation within Swansea’s alternative scene. Their unique blend of skate & club culture, with a philosophical conscience, has turned them into one of the city’s best assets and their cheeky signature design, Casper, has become as much an underground symbol for Swansea as the film it originated from.

The new outlet has some treats ready for us too. It’s getting a fresh lick of paint, there’ll be an exhibition from graphic artist Dilac and there’s the brand new Made2Fade tshirt series featuring four different artist’s take on the same design brief.

So put it in your diaries: 17th March @ Exist.Outlet, 214 Oxford street, Swansea, SA1 3BG.

See you there. :D
