SLABZOO SHREDDER: BEAU WATERSON
This 7-year-old Sunny Coast skater has street written all over him - and “LOVE” is how his friends describe him. Street & Love. Need we say no more? He rides a tiny little 7” board to pop those BS 180s with ease. He hits ledges, rails and stairs until his pants are ripped! Beau Waterson is our new Slabzoo Shredder.
