The UK Fluff SB book and exhibition launch was held last Friday at Nike Sportswear’s 1948 East London store. N-SB’s UK contingent was lucky enough to be invited and went along with Sneaker Freaker contributing photographer Errol.
The exhibition focuses on Marcel Veldman’s photography of the UK riders on a trip to seaside town Ramsgate. As such, the show has a British coastal resort theme, with the photos displayed in imitation beach huts and Nike SB/Fluff branded rock given out.
As can be seen from his photos, there was plenty of complimentary booze handed out to great and the good of the UK skate scene, and a very good time was had by all.
Below is a selection of the photos. You check out the whole batch here.
The exhibition runs until Sunday 14th February and, according to Jake of the Alley, Slam City Skates has received delivery of the book (copies are being given away, by the way, but shifting fast).
