THE WHY

I grew up skating the streets, chasing daylight, dodging cars, and collecting scars. Every session was a lesson in discipline, persistence, and creativity. Skateboarding has never been just a sport to me, it’s a culture, a community, a way of seeing the world.

I wasn’t ever the best skater on the block, but it gave me everything: confidence, friendships, and a lifelong love for the grind (literally and figuratively).

Nateboards is my way of giving back. This is my passion project, born from a childhood spent skating and a deep respect for the art, attitude, and soul of it all. Skateboarding is a labour of love. It demands everything and gives everything back.

Through custom hand-painted decks and gritty design work, I’m here to contribute something real to the community that raised me. Whether you’re riding it, hanging it, or slapping it on a wall, thank you for letting my art be part of your ride.
