Hi, my name is Sky and I'm from Miyazaki Japan
My hobbies are to skate and surf, and do fighting, karate, jujitsu, dance and
singing... I have a lot!
When I saw my dad is skating and I felt, I knew I wanted to be a skater
I like it when it's scary because I want to beat myself owner beat the scariness
I might fall hard but even I fall hard, I want to get back up there and just beat it
Don't think that you're gonna fall, think that you're gonna land it on this one
When the waves are bad, I skate. But when the waves are good, I like to surf.
I just knew I wanted to surf as well, because it looked super fun
I told my dad: "Can I try this, please!
So he taught me how to do, and I was like: "Beautiful!"
My dad has to get me out because I never stop surfing, especially before school.
He is like: "Come on!" I'm like: "One more please!" Then I go: "One more please!" again
I want to introduce you to my brother, Ocean!
She's pretty good! I tell her everything she knows!
He's super funny, we always play with each other.
He's pretty good at skateboarding too.
And he's super naughty, he gets in trouble always at school.
The one thing I love about him is that he doesn't care what people think
We compete a lot against each other, we say like "Who's better?"
"Oh, I'm better!" "No, I'm better!" So, we kind of compete with each other.
We just never not surf or skate together.
I just like teaching people
I taught a couple girls in Japan.
I had a scare and that made me feel like: "Oh, I want to do this"
I wanna teach people too and teach them how to have fun and be brave
When I went to Cambodia and learnt that there were other people out there
We're always happy, we have food here, we have clean water, we have soap,
All these kind of stuff, but they don't have anything
they don't have food, they don't have clean water, they don't have money
I just knew I wanted to help
There were scary moments there, because
there's no traffic light and I just see these girls with big trash bags and
picking up trash every day.
They help their moms work
They sell food to try to get money
It was pretty sad I almost cried, like super hard
I met these kids and I taught them skateboarding
it was pretty cool 'cause they were laughing
and I mean they were having so much fun there
Because of Cambodia, I make these socks
Five dollars from every pair of socks goes to the kids in Cambodia
and on the back it says... (it's super dirty!):
Brave, Kind, Strong, Proud, Fair, Free, Happy
I always think about those words when I'm skating or surfing
so I like to put them on these socks
Olympics just doesn't have skateboarding it has all kinds of sports
Hopefully I can go in 2020
because I want to go there while I'm young
and show every girl that
you can do anything
It doesn't matter your age, just do it, don't be afraid
Especially 'cause it's in Japan, I'll put all my heart into it
It's impossible to choose a sport, surfing or skating!
'Cause I love it too much! I can't choose between it
I want to show girls that if boys say: "You're a girl you can't do it!"
Just do it! Don't care what they think. Do it for yourself.
