Surfbort have released the official video for “Open Your Eyes” featuring skateboarding pioneer and legend Tony Hawk. Watch the video now below.
of the video, the band’s Dani Miller said, “It was so rad hanging with Tony Hawk for “Open Your Eyes”. He is such a talented, incredible human and we share the same self-deprecating humor. He let me scream at him and tell him he sucks and then he let me skate him as my skateboard! The video of us refereeing and yelling at Tony relates to real life, if people are telling you you suck or trying to bring you down pushing through and skating through to the good times is what life is about!
He also did a trick over me, kinda one of the coolest moments of my life. We also had a pizza party!”
Tony Hawk added, “I was honored to be featured in Surfbort’s video! The new album is great, and Open Your Eyes is an inspirational song for these tumultuous times.”
Guitarist Alex Kilgore expanded, “Open Your Eyes is ultimately a song about navigating life’s difficulties with grace, so Tony Hawk seemed like an obvious fit: not only is he the embodiment of physical grace; he also gracefully transitioned so many obstacles and injuries (currently skating 2 weeks after breaking his femur).”
The collaboration with Tony Hawk follows the previous single and video “Lot Lizard 93″ featuring Pro-Skateboarder, World Cup Champion and Olympian, Lizzie Armanto. Surfbort’s latest album, Keep on Truckin’, was released on October 11, 2021. This full-length is part of the recently launched partnership between legendary producer, composer and philanthropist Linda Perry, and SoundCloud/Repost.
Surfbort will also play a string of UK and European shows for May and June, including a London show at Brixton’s Wide Awake Festival.
