In celebration of Jackson Pilz first curated Skateboard Collection for Volcom, we visit his home and dug deeper into why he chose this particular collection.
Living in a beautiful and quiet part of Australia’s Sunshine Coast with his fiancé Alana and daughter Olive, where they’ve created a lifestyle one could easily envy.
Jackson tells us that he created this collection to suit whatever a day Skating… or his daughter might throw at him.

This season, HUF is dropping our Holiday 19 Collection in conjunction with a new HUF storefront opening in Brooklyn, NY.

Element has partnered with National Geographic to create a capsule collection aiming to help people better understand the world & push the boundaries of their knowledge. In keeping with this commitment, a portion of the revenue generated will support the National Geographic Society’s work in the areas of science, exploration, conservation, and education.
The collection takes inspiration from the animal realm and the physical universe. The first delivery in Fall 2019 celebrates the animal realm embodied by Element’s pro-rider spirit animal representation. The 2nd delivery for Holiday 2019 symbolizes the four natural substances that compose the physical universe: wind, water, fire, and earth. The result is a curated collection of apparel and accessories that bonds a unique selection from the National Geographic’s impressive library of photographic imagery with Element’s timeless skateboarding photography.
The garments are made from sustainable-friendly materials such as (organic cotton, recycled polyester, recycled cotton) matching Element’s Conscious by Nature commitment to expand its social and environmental reach by perpetually growing its sustainable product line, contributing to worthwhile causes, running educational and vocational school programs and seminars, sponsoring and awarding scholarships to skate camps around the world.

Ryan Lay is known for his unique style, global travel and community work with his non-profit Skate After School. He wanted to create some pieces that could easily stuff into a travel bag, and take you from skating in streets straight into a meeting. For this season Lay wanted to focus on building a looser pant for him and his fellow teammate Jason Salillas, who skate with a knee brace and were looking for something with a little more clearance. We worked closely with Lay to create an updated version of a loose-fit pleated chino, while adding some signature details. The’Altamont X Lay Pant’ is our widest fit and includes custom art by Lay’s good friend Michael Worful, embroidered on the back top right and screen-printed on the inside pocket – these pants are the perfect blend of formal and comfort!
