Quiksilver has announced that the legendary Christian Hosoi and the rest of the Quiksilver skate team will tour the country premiering the new documentary “Rising Son, The Legend of Skateboarder Christian Hosoi.”

The eight-city tour will feature free theater and outdoor screenings of the film as well as demos and signings by Hosoi, Arto Saari, Stefan Janoski, Omar Hassan, Reese Forbes, Kyle Leeper, Dylan Reider, Omar Salazar, Eric Fletcher, and others. The tour will be Hosoi’s first national tour since being released from prison in 2004. It will be the first time in over 10 years that fans will be able to see Hosoi back where he belongs: on a skateboard. And it will be the first time Quiksilver’s entire skate team, including the hottest up-and-comers and the most established legends, will be skating in demos and undercover at the nation’s most famous skate spots. Most importantly, this will be the first time fans will be able to view “Rising Son, The Legend of Skateboarder Christian Hosoi” and experience this inside look into the rise, fall and rebirth of a true skateboarding pioneer and legend. Directed by Cesario “Block” Montano, written by Peter Alton, and narrated by Dennis Hopper, the 90 minute film will be released on DVD in November and will be available in skate shops, video stores, and other better entertainment distributors around the world.
