There’re a lot of things I can do.
There’s a lot of things I want to do.
Whatever it is, whether I’m skating or surfing,
I do it with love and happiness.
My name is Sky and I’m nine years old and I’m from Miyazaki, Japan.
I first started skateboarding when I was two or three.
You have to do this side.
Oh my gosh.
My name is Bod Boyle.
I think I met Sky...
three years ago now I think it was.
I heard of Sky before I knew her actually because I had seen her popping up on some
social media channels.
This young, small girl with this brother — they were ripping.
Venice Beach is pretty wild but it’s one of my favorite places in America.
Excuse me?
Yes ma’am?
Does he ever bite?
No ma’am.
Sky.
Don’t cry now.
Give me this hand.
I’m really scared of animals just so you know.
It gets me more excited if I'm scared of it.
Today I’m trying to learn a triple kickflip.
Ow.
It’s kind of exciting like if you feel like you’re going to fall you’re gonna fall.
If you don’t think that you’re going to fall you’re not going to fall.
That’s crazy!
Well my biggest dream is to go to X Games.
X Games is the biggest action sport event in the world.
They won’t invite me because they told me I’m too young but that’s the point.
I wanna inspire girls that even if you’re like three or four you can still do it.
Just believe in yourself!
I have not seen someone quite like Sky.
Not only is there a lot of raw talent there but there’s also this little excited kind of
having fun person in there.
You really see it when she skates just as far as that she’s enjoying it and it’s really
rare to see that.
I like skating with people, I like surfing with people.
I really want more girls to skate and I really want girls to have fun and just do it for yourself.
I started surfing since I was like four probably, a little later.
I love to be in the water and I love surfing and it makes me feel like I’m in the air.
It makes me feel like I’m spraying like a mermaid.
Sometimes it’s annoying sometimes it’s funny.
There was this boy — he pushed me in once.
He tried to but it didn’t work.
He saw me and didn’t catch the wave and he felt bad for me.
Tomorrow I’ll go back to Japan.
I don’t know when I’m coming back to America but when I’m here I have so much fun.
Wherever I am I try to focus on what I love because it makes me feel alive and happy.
My motto always is: be brave, be strong, have fun, and do it because you love it.
