My City – Santiago, Chile – Jesus Munoz

By | Inside, Jesus Muñoz, Men, News, Skate, Team, Volcom | No Comments

My City is a Volcom video series showcasing the Latin American Skate Team as they take us through their hometowns, showing us where they grew up skating and what struggles they had to overcome along the way.

In this second episode we welcome 18-year-old Jesus Munoz from Santiago, Chile. Being the capital and largest city in Chile (over 5M people), Santiago doesn’t offer much breathing room for skaters like Jesus, although the city is recognizing the progression of skateboarding and impact it has on its youth since it first appeared in the capital in the late 70s. In addition to the crowds, since most of the downtown area is filled with 19th century neoclassical architecture (and susceptible to earthquakes), with archaic, meandering side-streets, it’s difficult to find a smooth ground and contemporary street-skating spots, although there are some hidden gems. But it’s not just the skating that keeps Jesus loving Santiago, he notes the culture is great with amazing food, architecture, and music. Piccolo de Italia is frequented by Jesus and friends as a delicious restaurant, which you can easily find in all shopping centers. As for his artsier side, one of his favorite spots in the city is the Sculpture Park of Providencia, an open air museum park showcasing more than 30 renowned Chilean artists, including five award-winning sculptors. And if you’re into live music, Santiago has a burgeoning rock ‘n’ roll scene, along with some good punk rock concerts happening downtown in the city. His favorite Chilean bands are Devil Presley, BBS Paranoicos, and Los Fiskales.

Jesus is as hungry as they come, and everyday is an all-day-skate-day for him. Waking up at the crack of dawn every morning, Jesus ventures to the market with his mother to grab things for lunch before quickly peddling off to the legendary Bustamante Skatepark to meet up with friends. After spending a solid amount of time working on his next bag of tricks, he finishes the day skating through his city on his way back home where he’s destined to stumble upon some generous street-skating venues. Jammed with pedestrians, small squares, plazas, and even subway stations offer a wide variety of city structures and people-dodging for the local skaters.

Among the handful of skating spots that Jesus and his friends hit within Santiago’s cityscape, are the beautiful mountains, hills, and rivers which are in very close proximity, such as the Mapocho River, Parque Forestal, and the high-towering, grandiose Andes Mountains. With a vantage point of the Andes from anywhere in the city, it’s nice to know you’re in arm’s reach of a completely different terrain whether in the mountains or getting lost in many of the ripe vineyards along the way. Jesus says he’s lucky to be surrounded by a rich culture of wines and a variety of tastes, and recommends trying Gato or Casillero del Diable which are his favorites.

“Con los Pies en el Agua”: The dream come true for the Iquiqueño Camilo Hernández, Volcom Surf Rider

By | Con los pies en el Agua, Events, Inside, Men, News, Surf, Team, Volcom | No Comments

In the heart of the Atacama Desert, in the Tarapacá Region of the Republic of Chile, is the city of Iquique, known for its wave quality, mostly rocky right-bankers. To speak of a specialist in this kind of waves, is to talk about Camilo Hernandez, a regular backsider, who has decided to leave his habitat to fulfill his dream.

“With Feet in the Water” or “Pies en el Agua” is the latest production of the outstanding Chilean audiovisual director Johannes Bock. He portrays the dream of Camilo in a magnificent way. The viewers of this film are going to experience and live the dream of Camilo, across many borders and beyond his native Iquique.

Who is Camilo Hernández?

Born in Quilpué, in the Region of Valparaíso, in the central coastal zone of Chile, Camilo comes from a family of athletes. His mother was a bodybuilder, his father a motorcycle fan and his brothers are outstanding surfers.

For years, Camilo followed the Chilean National Surf Tour, always reaching the advanced positions. After his outstanding surf exhibitions in the local circuit, he was selected for the national team and since then, he has represented his country many times.

In addition to being a backside specialist rider, he also rides big waves, such as “El Bajo”, an 8-meter break that runs into the interior of the Iquique coast.

“It’s one of the most dangerous waves I’ve ever taken, with immense strength. In addition, the bottom is made of rocks, so you must be very careful and be aware all the time, “Camilo told a local newspaper in Iquique in 2011.

In 2016 he landed at Volcom, being the only free rider that the Californian company has in Chile. “The goal was clear, travel around the world and make a great surf film. We believed in Camilo and we are very proud of his work. I am sure that everybody will enjoy this movie, its awesome” Words from Michael Stewart Head of Marketing of Volcom Chile.

The film shows Camilo surfing waves from Indonesia, California and Hawaii. A dream come true for the Chilean rider.
