CHRISTIAN LOW

Growing up on the sunny shores of the Hibiscus Coast, Christian found skateboarding at a young age. By 16 it had become his passion, filming video parts with mates and pushing his skills every chance he got.

In 2012, after winning NZ Skateboarder of the Year, Christian made the move to Australia to pursue skating at a professional level. He went on to travel the world, film multiple video parts and feature on the covers of both SLAM and The Skateboarder's Journal.

These days Christian calls the beautiful town of Mangawhai home, where he lives with his young family and has channelled a lifelong passion for skating into teaching the next generation of riders.

Whether you're just finding your feet on a board or looking to take your skating to the next level, Christian is here to help you get there.
