It's refreshing to see spots we've never seen before, and we always know the Pass~Port crew and its extended family will do them justice. So hop on board this fantastic voyage taking this crew from beef (inland Queensland) to reef (coastal commission!) and everything in between. Juicy tre alert at the two-minute mark by Digby Luxton.
"Entering a fourth year of collaboration, BEEF TO REEF was a trip from Mount Isa to Magnetic Island that brought Vans, Pass~Port, Hoddle, and Build Up back together for a week of regional spot hunting and community events.
We have always mixed community engagement into our itinerary. Skatepark events at Mount Isa and Townsville ensured this trip was no different. Both stops were packed, allowing us to connect with the local skate community, build boards with the kids and leave the equipment behind with local organizations for continued use. Through the donation of gear and creating opportunities for local youth, we aim to leave a lasting impact that extends well beyond the workshops delivered.

The Pass~Port mates killed it in our 2017 The Cinematographer Project, World View. Give their effort a rewatch:
These guys might be out in the boonies, but they discovered some epic street spots and skateparks that are better than a lot you'll find in Southern California, the birthplace of this whole thing.
Great filming, music and mix of media throughout the whole video. We've always been big fans of Pass~Port's art, and the demo photos at the end make this the feel-good edit of the week we've been waiting for. Good on ya lads.
