Considering how much everyone loves a good skate video, it’s a wonder we don’t post them more often. This little gem from Girl Films for Lakai footwear is your classic tale of pro-skateboarder goes for a little boat trip in California and magically teleports to Venice Italy. The skater in question, Guy Mariano, is pleasantly surprised by his trip to one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and sets about skating all over it. Cue some great shots of him rolling around and getting in the way of fuddy-duddy tourists, plus – spoiler alert! – splendid shot of him falling straight into the canal at the end (naturally).
