BUFF® riders, Hall and Casabon, have been traveling all around the world presenting their latest ski edit, The Education of Style. On October 1st the stop was Barcelona, and from the minute they landed at the airport they were received by the BUFF® team. For the next two days Tanner and Phil spent time with team manager Pako Benguerel, visiting the BUFF® headquarters, enjoying the city of Barcelona, and making an appearance at the premiere of The Education of Style.

On the 1st day they got to experience the freestyle life in Barcelona by visiting numerous skating areas and parks. Later that day, they headed out to the headquarters in Igualada to get a tour of the facilities and meet the entire team. They started out visiting the offices, then proceeded to the factory and ended up at the design studio. There, Tanner Hall and the design team talked about the upcoming personal collection that is being created with his collaboration during a brainstorming session.

The next day, the premiere took place in La General Surfera, a renowned store in the freestyle industry close to the city center.

The event started off with a poster signing session at 7:30 pm. Over 150 signed posters were given away and fans got to take pictures and spend time with the riders. At 8:30 pm the film was presented on a large screen surrounded by an eager crowd ready to see the movie.

Cheering, clapping and gasping viewers watched the edit that lasted for about an hour.

After the movie was done, Phil, Tanner and Henrik Harlaut, the 3rd starring rider of the movie, gave away BUFF® products to fans.

At the event there were BUFF® logos and products on display, including two large rollups with Tanner and Phil’s pictures, to show brand presence during the edit and the poster signing.

The evening ended with a satisfied crowd, a successful event and with both riders happy and pleased with the results of the trip.
