When Matt Reynolds became a parent, he did what all parents in Hawai’i do, which is to just take your kids surfing with you. Duh. But Matt’s son Heimana had other plans. At a very early age, he gravitated toward surfing’s cousin, skateboarding. Rising to the occasion, not only did Matt put everything he had into supporting his son’s skate obsession, he decided that while he was teaching Heimana, he may as well teach other kids. Through the urging of his wife Samantha, the Reynolds ‘ohana created Hawai’i’s first and only indoor skateboarding school, board shop, and training facility. Fast-forward to today, Heimana and Matt are continuing to push each other to progress as exceptional human beings, while passing on their gifts to a whole new generation of youth through skateboarding.
