New ‚Skate Tales‘ Episode Sheds Light on the Legendary Peter Hewitt
From the daunting walls of Washington Street to the entire world, Peter Hewitt is unarguably one of skateboarding’s most legendary individuals. Balls to the wall, no stop signs, full speed, all or nothing—there’s truly nobody like Hewitt. He might stay low key in the grand scheme of things, but those who know, know.
And those who don’t? Well, let Madars Apse and the new episode of ‚Skate Tales‘ take care of that for you. This might just be the best episode yet! Take a look:
Madars and Peter link up at Shockus Park in Ocean Beach for a quick roll before heading to San Diego’s most iconic DIY—Washington Street. From there, they cover everything from injuries and checking in with your body (something Peter recently learned to do at the young age of 50) to carve grinds, transfers, The Loop, warm up routines and more.
They end the episode with a mission to the legendary Nude Bowl (and have a helluva session), but not without getting a little deep and philosophical on the topic of, „What does skateboarding mean to you?“ Let me just say—his answer will leave you feeling a little emotional, in the best way.
For someone who has always been a huge Peter Hewitt fan, this is a video I’ll surely be putting on multiple times to find inspiration. And if I’m being honest, I mean that far beyond skateboarding itself. Hewitt is just an epic human being and yeah, the dude absolutely loves skateboarding. He’s the epitome of a lifer. They just don’t make ‚em like him anymore!

„You could go so far as to say that Peter Hewitt represents skateboarding’s backbone,“ Red Bull Skate writes in the description. „In a world where people like to push themselves forward, Peter is not competing in the attention economy. [His] skateboarding has been an ongoing quest on the edge of reason in terrain that even masters avoid.“
Facts. Thanks for being the guiding light that you are, Peter! Forever thankful.
