Longboards For Charity: New ToeHead + Hai Poké Collab

by Daric Gill

“Roots”, acrylic and marker on bamboo longboard.

It’s a great day when you’re given a longboard deck to paint for a good cause. Recently, I have been approached by the owners of Columbus’ very own Hai Poké to do exactly that. Calling back to their roots as skateboarders themselves, owners Nile Woodson and Mico Cordero are finding ways to give back through the forces of local artists + the boarding culture. Longboards like mine will be on display at their brick and mortar shop and will be auctioned off during a charity benefit later next year.  I’m looking forward to seeing what comes of all this collaboration and am inspired by the fierce energy by these two tastemakers!
