Our guy Hambone hit up the Pool Party and brought back the goods! Check the photos and get the recap from one of the gnarliest events in skateboarding. Gonna miss ya, Combi!

Chris Gregson, Tristan Rennie, Riley Wiley, Conner Norris and Nolan Miskell took it out to Carmel Valley Park for some rips in the name of the Wizard.

It’s one thing to do some of the tricks you’re about to see, but it’s a whole other story to be dispatching them in the tight and cramped conditions of a backyard pool. Tristan makes it look way too easy.

Born and bred skating pools, pipes and parks with the older dudes since the age of five, Tristan Rennie is now 20 and keeping the Badlands tradition alive and well. Bleed on, young wizard!

The Legends, Masters and Pros all descended upon the Combi Bowl for the 2018 Vans Pool Party, which coincided with Cinco de Mayo. The holiday vibe was definitely infectious and everybody got sick as F! How do these things just keep getting gnarlier?!

This year’s Pool Party was even more festive than usual as it fell on Cinco De Mayo, and the opening ceremony was kicked off with a traditional mariachi band cranking out tunes next to the bowl.
