Endless Roads by Juan Rayos 



Endless Roads
by Juan Rayos is a series of short films following the Longboard Girls Crew on a fun summer roadtrip in Spain. It's beautifully shot and is the epitome of what a summer vacation should be all about, fun and carefree. 
7 female riders, 1 van, 15 days, 4.300km, 416 GB of raw material… culminating in one video, divided into four chapters. The film documents the adventure of the trip, portraying the girls, their lifestyle and their passion for longboard.
Sit back and enjoy. 
 
Part 1 - Yellow Horizons
 
In this first chapter, Jacky, Valeria, Carlota & Gador welcome Maitane, who's coming from the Basque Country; Marisa coming from Miami and Amanda from Massachusetts. Together, they start their journey traveling 600 km in the van in order to get to Cabo de Gata Natural Area, in Almería. They spend three days over there, enjoying unique volcanic-origin landscapes, the deep blue sea breaking against the winding coastline, August relentless sun and secondary roads that leads to small towns and coves in the Mediterranean coast.



Part 2 - The Island
In this second episode, the girls take the ferry and head to Mallorca, where they will be spending the next days travelling and skating the rocky island. New friends and local riders join the girls for this stage and some crazy downhill.


Part 3 - Land of the Castles
 
In this third episode, we return from Mallorca and visit Carlota's parents in their family house in Denia. They invite us to paella right in front of the beach. We spend the night in Calpe and continue our journey to the country's interior. Castillian landscapes, lands of castles and medieval towns are waiting for us.


Part 4 - Costa da Morte 
  
In this last chapter we travel up north to Galicia’s Costa da Morte (coast of death), name given to the area in 1920 due to its treacherous rocky shores, full of cliffs and battered by brave storms. Land of massive green landscapes, filled with legends and tradition. The Art Surf Camp in Razo receives us, and we later join A Coruña local skaters for a day cruising.
