The Man Who Turned His Home into a Skate Park

Outlook

Available for over a year

When his parents died, Anselmo Arruda inherited a large house in the Brazilian coastal town of Itanhaem. Anselmo was in his early twenties, he was lonely and had no need for so much space. So rather than sell it, he decided to turn the house into a skate park. Today the "cave house" has become a mecca for skateboarders from all over Brazil. Our reporter Gibby Zobel went to find it.
