Quay ‘Skater Of The Month’ August - Serge Irwin

So Serge, give us the low down, how old are you and when did you start skating?

Hey, I’m turning 14 this year, I first got into skating at around 11, however I stopped for a while, then got back into skating around 6 months ago.

Oh wow I thought you was 15 already! Very mature young man then, being brought up well!

Yeah, people do say that about me, and they always think im older.

Definitely seem older, think it might be your presence, calm and well spoken! Rad though!

Just my personality man, keep myself composed.

Thats good for someone so young! Where did you pick this up from then? Your sister and Eddie come across the same, maybe from them?

Yeah I think everyone I’m around in my family, probably where I’ve picked it up from!

You’ve been on a mission of late, hence getting this months SOM, good work! Are you working on anything in particular?

I’m currently working on boardslides and many flip tricks, but I have alot to accomplish yet!

Rad, yeah seen you having it with the boardslides lad! Killing it, yes plenty more to come, loads of time to learn some new tricks!

Yeah, I just need to get all these tricks done, then move on to some harder things.

For sure, good to get the basics landed, solid foundations go far! You working on the tricks for a part or anything?

Yeah im working on a boardslide and a front board on a down rail or ledge, but also working on alot of street stuff for a part for flow team!

How did you get into GIRL Skateboards? You pretty much clean me out at the shop!

I first got into GIRL skateboards when I was younger, I got given my first deck which was a GIRL.

Ahhh well that makes sense then, It is a great brand, do you like Chocolate too? Similar vibe but different isn’t it!

I have never really rode any Chocolate boards, but was willing to try one.

I like the vibe of GIRL, if I were to properly skate for an American brand it would be GIRL I think, I used to be on flow for them years ago! Bit of info there for you!

Sick! cool to know someone else is a fan of girl and was even on flow for them!

Nice! Good to see everyone working hard for the flow positions, will be good to see the videos end of summer! You been on it?

Absolutely, trying many different things to stand out in them vids, got to mix it up!
