Concrete Is Harder Than Water
Barely in his teens, Cornwall’s Lukas Skinner is one of the world’s most promising young surfing talents. Known for big stylish aerial manoeuvres, Lukas’s skateboarding has done a lot to shape his approach to wave riding, but it was also nearly his undoing.
In 2020, at just 12-years-old Lukas had a hunger for competition, support of one of industry’s biggest brands and a huge career ahead of him, when a skateboarding accident placed all that in jeopardy.
Concrete Is Harder Than Water is a portrait of Lukas’ battle back to fitness and finding his feet on the water once again with the support of his family.
