Content creator, skateboarder, graffiti artist & aspiring surfer
Vorster originates from a small farming community along the West Coast of SA, about 300km from Cape Town.
Says Vorster 'I started skating, because I was always drawn to the unknown, and being from a small town, no one skated, which made me even more interested in doing something new.
We didn’t have skate shops, so I had to wait about 6 months before I could go to Cape Town and get a board to start skating.
Vorster intends to inspire other people to also explore and try new things as this approach has always lead him to continued self discovery.
