We had the pleasure of welcoming the German Magenta agent Kenny Hopf in our Bordeaux castle for a few days this summer. It’s always interesting to have foreign skateboarders in town and see what new spot or twist they will dig from the local landscape. It’s even better when it’s Mr. Hopf, sehr polite, ganz friendly, and his precise skateboarding that pay the visit. We enjoyed his beautiful English, outstanding German (of course), and excellent Japanese – especially our Japanese roommate who had been talking in sign language with us for weeks. We are planning to pay Kenny back his visit and meet him in Hamburg next spring. In the meantime, enjoy the photos. // Vivien Feil
