Our support goes beyond our little roof top gym for the students at SISP. Thanks to you, our members, also been able to support these humble kids as they dare to dream big and most recently, compete in the National Skateboard Competition. These kids are from poverty, sometimes without family and almost all without opportunity. But at SISP, they get to skate as a reward for going to school. And now, taking them places they never dare dream possible.

Kerala skate crew has a reputation for being fearless. Sometimes when you come from nothing, you have nothing to lose. Its members, all students from SISP in the tiny coastal town of Kovalam, get to skate as a reward for going to school. Often from complete poverty, abandoned or orphaned, these kids aren’t carrying custom decks, but they are pulling out all the tricks. This is the story of a group of top skaters, as they take on the best at the National Skateboard Competition. With all eyes on this unassuming crew, the pressure is on. But when you come from nothing, you have nothing to lose and these kids know this better than anyone.
