If there was one constant thing in Kurtis’ life, it was skateboarding. If you ever were in his presence, you could feel his infectious excitement for it. He kept that passion alive through his Skate Kids instructional program and his son Kruz. Kurtis wanted to share skateboarding with everyone and make them feel included in the thing we all love so dearly. May his dedication and energy live on in everyone who steps on skateboard. We will skate again soon!
