La Kantera Invitational 2018 – details

Taking place on the 22nd and 23rd of June

Volcom and Euskaltel present the La Kantera Invitational 2018, which will be taking place on the 22nd and 23rd of June at Bilbao’s OG scenic shred zone. The Basque Country boasts an impressive amount of gnarly skateparks per square foot so any opportunity to visit the place should definitely be taken – add in the chance to drink cheap booze whilst watching an international bevy of transition maniacs tearing into La Kantera’s concrete curves and any sane person would be looking up flights rather than reading my ramblings. Watch last year’s highlights for confirmation of the enjoyment there is to be had and go check out the Bilbao Exposed and Bilbao Points of Interest article for an idea of what else is to be had in the area…
