LarnaCan Skate & Paint
I love it when I find ‘something out of the ordinary’, slightly off the beaten track, owned by a guy who just wants to do what he loves with a passion. Savvinos is dedicated about absolutely anything to do with ‘Skateboarding‘ in Larnaca. I’ve known him from the old indoor skate park days, sadly closing in 2017 …
The Love of Art
The paint bit comes from his love of art, qualifying in Mixed Media in Boston, Massachusetts, in the Studio for Interrelated Media, he fell in love with contemporary art, and in 2003 he opened a studio/gallery called Afydatwn, which remained open ’til 2014.
Paint Your Wall
Savvinos now often gets requested to paint a wall, or just about any surface you want painted, and will create an original piece in his unique style just for you and everyone to see.
Inside & Out
Limassol-born but living in Larnaca, Savvinos, with 31 years experience, has been skating since he was only 8. He told me, “I would hear all the kids complaining they had nowhere to skate, so I opened my own Indoor Skate Park called ‘LarnaCan Indoor Skate Arena’ so they could have a place to go, where they could skate, with a little loud music, cafe, pool table, summer or winter and I would give lessons to new skaters”. Bringing it outside, he told me he’d recently designed the new outdoor Skate Park for Larnaka’s municipality.
Irresistible
Savvinos’ determination ‘never to give in’ was irresistible, so he opened this underground shop so he could continue to bring you somewhere to buy the best in Skateboarding, Roller Skates and Graffiti supplies and all their related apparel.
