Courtney and Paul ❤️ … and, to all of Paul’s friends- I’ve been asked for prints of the first piece (2nd here). If there is a lot of interest i think I will upload it to a print on demand site, and set it at cost (don’t want to make money on it, you would just pay what they charge). That way you can pick what you want- size, poster/canvas/hat, whatever Paul merch 😁 and keeps it easy. Will post a link this week.

Come celebrate the life of Paul Azvedo this afternoon at the 303 Boards Annex in Denver from 4–8 pm, followed by After Party at 715 Club.

I first met Paul back in 2004 or 2005 as I turned my camera toward the Colorado skateboarding scene. He was one of the Wet Boys—the legendary skate crew from Denver, Arizona, and beyond—who took me under their wing as a documentarian, collaborator, and friend.

It was a special time in skateboarding. Unlike today, there weren’t cameras everywhere, and it was a true honor that these cool kids trusted me to capture this unique, carefree chapter of their lives—one centered around skateboarding, traveling, filming and releasing video parts, house parties, young love, brotherhood, and, most of all, friendships that would last a lifetime.
Paul was great. He was a ripper with a unique style and talent on the board, and a kind, gentle soul off of it. Always upbeat and positive, Paul was the kind of wingman you’d always want on your team. He always had a way of putting a big smile on your face when you were with him.

Although our lives evolved and I spent less time with the crew over the years, that sense of kinship never faded. I’m grateful for all those hours I spent with everyone.

Over the past few years, Paul made an effort to get everyone together for lunch. It was always great seeing him, hearing his voice, and listening to the stories he would tell. He loved sharing his latest adventures, talking about his girlfriend Rosie and the puppies they shared together, but most of all, he loved talking about his daughter, Dagney. It was impossible not to see how deeply he loved her. ( …continued in comments )

My core memories of Paul are from the summer of 2018, spent largely at his rooftop pool. It was a really hard year for me, and coming off a couple of hard years, and Paul was the friend I needed that summer. We spent almost every day, and many nights at that pool. Sometimes I would vent, and he would just let me (he may have been asleep for some of that), or we would drink too many beers and laugh til we cried and plan adventures, or we would just chill. And in the midst of one of my worst years, I actually had a pretty good summer. And that’s how i remember him. A light in my darkness. And I hope he knew that. Here’s to the chillest dude I know. And the only person I’ve ever met who mumbles more than I do. Love you Paul. 🍻❤️ photo credit: @wet_bandit

The days when we were young and free. Simpler times. High school and beyond. What a pleasure it was to be young with you all. Paul was someone who always knew how to have fun, and I definitely had a lot of fun when I was hanging with him. I don’t remember the first day we met, only that Paulo and Marco started showing up to my house with the other guys one day, and we were fast friends. These pics are from 99-05. I’d go back and play pool at my house or drive around to skate spots, or hang out at 113 or the Youngfield house any day. We were having the time of our lives. The memories are all good ones. I was lucky to be Paul’s friend for so many years 🫶🏼 Gonna miss him till the end of my days.

Back when the Denver homies were still few, Paul Azevedo was one of our early connections, believe it was the WetBoys Golden house era. No matter what dipshits we hauled out there, Paul would always be there with open arms and a level of hospitality that can only be described as unconditional. Honestly can’t imagine a trip to Denver without him. We will miss you my friend, your smile your laughs and endless generosity, I hope you and Twig are up there talking shit and laughing at the rest of us 💔🌹🕊️
