Un an après mon départ de Montréal, je me souviens… avec ces quelques miettes.

Zumiez Presents Cons

We’ve still got Zumiez Presents Cons on our minds. Big thanks to everyone who came out to  #zumiezpresents Cons last week! Special thanks toMark Oblow, theConverse skate team,Pow WowandThe Surfjack for an incredible weekend in Hawaii, mahalo!
