SHREDDER OF THE WEEK: NOA BARNES
The kids on the Sunny coast are notorious for their mad skateboarding skills. Noa Barnes is no exception. This 11-year-old ripper basically calls Alex Skatepark his second home and loves skating with his friends at the local or at his favourite, Mackay’s Sugar Bowl. Noa Barnes is Slabzoo's Shredder of The Week!
SHREDDER OF THE WEEK: LUKA KOTZE
If you wanna talk about rapid progression in skateboarding, you cannot go past Luka Kotze. He came outta nowhere 14 months ago when he picked up his skateboard for the first time and hasn’t looked back since. He constantly goes bigger and harder and has grown into a full-blown dedicated skater - who just wants to skate and meet new friends for as long as he can. Luka Kotze is Slabzoo's Shredder of The Week!
