Through My Board

Overview

Growing up in the underbelly of Burnside Skatepark, Paul Johnson is a product of his environment. As a deaf skater, he's learned to navigate the challenges that come with communicating amongst mostly hearing friends. With a new generation of skaters in need of role models, the default culture that once enabled the vices of Burnside's skate community is now in transition. Through My Board tells the story of Paul and the park's OGs as they reckon with aging, addiction, and the often-uncomfortable process of personal evolution.
