Guru Khalsa heads into Guatemala in seek of the shred. Words & Photos by Travis Knapp-Prasek.

These volcanoes loomed over the city of Antigua where we stayed. Pepe of FS Skatecorp put us up in a home on an old coffee plantation. The birds woke everyone daily with their songs of hype.

Raul rock and rolled on the structure of stoke.

The crew was rolling deep on Go Skateboarding Day and Steven Martinez came out to huck a frontside 180 down these stairs.

The crowd drifted to this plaza and Guru spied this planter gap. He backside 180ed it and off we went to score some vegetarian eats.
