I recently had the great pleasure of chatting to Vicki Scheffel, Project Coordinator of Eyethu Hout Bay Skate Park in Cape Town. We spoke about what skateboarding in doing to help keep the kids off the street in Hout Bay and how skating is helping to bring the youth of Hout Bay together no matter there circumstances and background.
