Ben Raemers and co do Gnar Canaria – Will Harmon guest blog!

In addition to today’s third blog installment from the Gran Canaria mob, Will Harmon has come through with a collection of his own snapshots from the mission for you – have a browse below…

Best coffee in town. Not too sure the owner was our biggest fan though.

Will actually spied this rad transition spot out of the car window on route to a small town by Las Palmas. I'm not sure of it's actual name, but we renamed it "The Dubs Harm Ditch".

And here it is from another angle in the dry. If you squint you can make out Raemers doing a trick in the distance...

Ominous clouds lurking in the distance whilst Scott and Will look down on the wrongness below.

The calm after the storm (maybe) with added rainbow.

Default Square serving up a proper start to the day.

The pond spot was somewhat of a bust - well, this part of it was anyway. Out of sight of park security, Chroliver and Ray Mears sessioned until dark.

I'm robbing Will's comment off Facebook for this photo - "food poisoning for four please".

Best skatepark on the island?

It'll be a while until we see these sort of temperatures in the UK - jealous?

Lennon rolls two rigs deep. One's hesh, the other's fresh.

341, over the road from our hotel. Three beers, three euros. Done deal.

After a day of trying to out run the rain, even the wet skatepark was looking attractive.

This is how Daryl "Trunky D" Dominguez spent his hours on the road. In the trunk. Hence the new nickname.

Perfectly timed strobe light rave shot.

The Las Palmas skatepark has the structure for a roof, but nothing to block out the rain. Session cut short and another rainbow shot.

"That's the PR shot sorted lads, now all we need is a name..." (suggestions on a postcard).

The second blog from the Gnar Canaria crew is now in, with Ben Raemers, Chris Oliver, Scott Howes, Sam Beckett, Will Harmon, Daryl Dominguez, special guest Barney Page and co taking care of mid winter business in the Canary Islands.

Get stuck in below – we’ll have more for you soon enough so keep checking back…

Ice Cube's "Are We There Yet?" in Spanish didn't amuse Will much.

This amazing stuff is cheap and readily available. Perfect for passing time during rainy moments.

Biggie!

Default saved my life. Will making the most of the free WiFi spot...

...everyone making the most of Default...

...well, everyone except for Barney, who just laughs at the crews gadget dependence.

Roughly 2am, throwing shapes. Safe to say the following days weather forecast wasn't too promising.

Can't remember taking this shot of Barney, but it's definitely inspired by booze.

The collection in Room 311 was off to a healthy start.

Booze 1, will power 0 - Ben Raemers, first beer of the day at 11am...

Arrival in Gran Canaria and awaiting for the rest of the CBBK mandem - Raemers doth chillax

Special guest for the trip on the mid winter footage hunt, Barney Albazaar Page.

Sam Beckett contemplating vert meat intake...

Scott Howes is on board and holding it down for the Hold Tight massive.

They're not kidding. WiFi = no.

You think whoever sorted your package was trying to tell you something Sam?

Chroliver racking it up! First day lines in the bag...

Rain stopping play...

Shelter from the storm.
