In the opening titles of the Insight TV production
A Simple Path, host Yann Horowitz say that he is obsessed with skateboarding. The series, that launched on global channel Insight TV this week, follows Horowitz as he meets the people at the heart of local skating communities all over the world. Long before his coming-out story became a part of skate history, he was already established as an all-terrain ripper. In this documentary series Horowitz joins crews for unforgettable sessions, from bowls in the Namibian desert to the inner city of Johannesburg, South Africa.
“
Vans teamed up with Yann and Insight TV to tell stories about skating communities from all over the world. This week’s feature on Skateistan really shows the incredible work Skateistan does aiding skate communities and Vans is excited to support that mission.”

The only thing permanent is change. And a lot of times (but especially in
these times) the only way to ensure the survival of the species or in the case of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing, the institution is to evolve. Sometimes radically.
As of December 21st, 2020, the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing as we know it will not exist. Rather, the heated, three-pronged (Haleiwa, Sunset, Pipeline) competition experience will morph into an open, submission-based freesurfing format, sanctioned by the World Surf League as a “specialty digital event” and hosted entirely online at VansTripleCrownofSurfing.com.
