THE SKATEBOARD MAG’S POOLING AROUND — ‘Sac Of Dreams
The latest issue of The Skateboard Mag includes a Pooling Around feature called "’Sac Of Dreams." But what exactly is a “‘sac of dreams?” According to The Skateboard Mag’s Dave Swift, it’s “a cul-de-sac with three empty pools right next to each other—definitely a rarity.”
What compelled The Mag’s crew of bowl explorers to search out three perfect pools in a literal dead-end in suburbia? While they won’t reveal their super secret methods of uncovering backyard beauties, the California drought was a huge catalyst. With water conservation now a way of life in California, whole neighborhoods have turned a watchful eye towards wastefulness. No one wants their nosy neighbors peering over the fence and judging them for having a pool luxuriously full of that precious resource. Those pools got drained out of solidarity, and Swift’s crew reaped the rewards.
Visit TheSkateboardMag.com to see the video of this most unlikely pool paradise, featuring clips from John Gardner, Al Partanen, Cody Lockwood, Brad McClain, Chris Gregson, Josh Borden, Alan Young, Willis Kimbel, Malakai Montes, and CJ Collins.
