Skateboarding has officially made its Olympic debut at the 2020 Tokyo Summer Games, where athletes from all around the world showcase their skills to a global audience. Among those skateboarders was Heimana Reynolds representing not only the United States but also the Hawai’ian islands. Now residing in Carlsbad, California, Heimana lives in one of SoCal’s mecca for skateboarding and has an abundant amount of skateparks at his fingertips to master his craft. Just a few weeks before Heimana caught his flight out to Japan, Dew Tour had the pleasure of following him around to get a look at what a typical day is like for the skateboard Olympian. Watch as Heimana takes us to his local coffee shop, scope out some waves, and get some scrapes in at Poods skatepark and at the CATF.

Hawaii native Heimana Reynolds will represent Team USA in Skateboarding at the Tokyo 2020 Games. For Heimana, the board and park become ultimate platforms of creative and athletic expression. “An artist has their canvas and their paintbrush. We have our skateboard, and then we have the skatepark. We can draw our own lines.” – Team USA Skateboarder, Heimana Reynolds
