The Heart Supply skatepark in the Town of Xala. Coined as ‘Xala with Heart’, Xala is an eco-friendly destination on the shores of Mexico integrated with raw nature and a thriving skate scene.

‘Xala with Heart’ will serve as the epicenter for like-minded skaters from around the world to gather, host events and give back to the community. Phase one will consist of guest housing for team-riders adjacent to the skatepark. Set to open in Summer 2021, this collaboration brings two unique concepts together to launch a new era of positive societal change.

An official ground-breaking ceremony was held to mark the ‘Xala with Heart’ partnership and brought together Xala founding partner Ricardo Santa Cruz and The Heart Supply founder Johnny Schillereff with his team riders Jagger Eaton, Heimana Reynolds, Rio Batan, and Camp Schill, who shared their skills and experiences with local skaters. The skaters and community came together to plant a ‘Giving Tree’, symbolizing the trees that provide the ultimate sacrifice for all skaters and a commitment to give-back to Puerto Vallarta’s thriving skate scene. They also handed out new completes skateboards to young skaters from Puerto Vallarta and asked them to share their hopes for the future of Xala.

Community skatepark build.

The skatepark will provide access to a safe environment to develop skills and newfound talents, uniting local skaters with people from all over the world in the coming years. Xala is a one-of-a-kind concept and development in Costalegre on the west coast of Mexico. At the forefront of Xala’s vision is creating a sustainable community, which has sparked partnerships with many progressive organizations that share the same ethos.
