Although slightly kooky, there is also something very rad about wake skating and no one radder than Ben Horan. Its hard to front on a kid who’s a professional wake skater but tells people he’s a skateboarder.
The anticipated collaborative project between Nike 6.0 and Todd Selby goes live on Selby’s site TheSelby.com tomorrow. Until then you can catch a sneak preview of exclusive photos and videos from Selby’s shoots with Ben Horan, Nigel Sylvester, Garrett Reynolds, James Stewart, Mason Aguirre, and Michel Bourez right over here.
As we told you before with the release of the Todd Selby x Nike 6.0 Ben Horan shots, Nike 6.0 is going big into wakeskate. As a major jumping off, they will premiere their first-ever wakeskate movie, Aquafrolics, starring Horan, Nick Taylor, Matt Manzari, Andrew Pastura, James Balzer, and Silas Thurman in Orlando on Saturday, August 22 as part of the Surf Expo weekend. No longer wakeboarding’s little brother, wakeskate has evolved into a sublime artform owing way more to skateboarding than to wake any day. Won’t be in Orlando? Not to worry. Aquafrolics will be available in its entirety on the 6.0 site later this month. Stay tuned for more on this growing movement.
Today we have some more shots from the Nike 6.0 x Todd Selby project for Fall/Holiday apparel. This is Ben Horan, 6.0’s top wakeskate dog shot at his home in Nahunta, GA where Nike also just finished building a two-tiered pond with stairs and a rail for homie to shred in. It’s good to be on Nike! 6.0 will continue to go hard in wakeskate this summer with the release of their first ever wakeskate film, Aquafrolics. More on that real soon. More Selby shots after the jump.
