About me

I am Kent Lingeveldt, a skateboarder, father, boardshaper and photographer from Cape Town, South Africa. I have been skating for 29 years and shaping boards for 22 years. Offering quality handcrafted skateboards to a global market and being able to support the local skate community and skate daily is what drives me.
