Information
Had some free time in Mozambique whilst on a shoot for The Brand Union NY. Did a little digging and found a group of skateboarders.
They call themselves Associacoa do Skate de Mozambique- ASM have their own facebook page: Associação do Skate de Moçambique - ASM
They street skate around suitable locations in Maputo and with the help of funding from Skate Aid they built themselves a couple of ramps that they use above an underground car park. What they have is quite basic but this doesn’t stop they’re enthusiasm for the sport.
