Author description

'This book is written by my mum and dad and translated by my koro. I hope you enjoy it as much as I love to skate. My favourite tricks at the moment are a full board-slide and a pop-shove-it; they are pretty tricky. Skateboarding takes a lot of time and practice. It has taught me thought, balance, co-ordination and confidence. But, most of all, it's fun!' - Luka Peta
