This week I catch-up with one of my personal favourite Australian Skateboarders, Mr Darren Kaehne. Darren and I have a relaxed, yet long conversation, at his house in Mona Vale on the Northern Beaches of Sydney Australia. Darren shares about his early years growing-up, finding a sincere passion for Skateboarding, meeting his wife, starting a family, and everything in between. We reflect a lot on the Australian skate scene in the 90s which was fun, but mainly we philosophise, and go off on a variety of random tangents. It was an enjoyable blur of a conversation. I loved it.
Some might say Darren is a gifted Skateboarder (which I agree with), however, he is also someone who has literally never stopped. He's been doing it for 35 years (plus). Never one to chase the spotlight, never one to expect anything from it, just pure love, and when you watch him skate, this is abundantly clear.
There is an endearing sensitivity to Darren that I really liked. He attributes a healthy lifestyle, gratitude, presence, and non-attachment to the past, as values that have allowed him the longevity that he now enjoys with his skateboarding.
At 47 years of age he is still ripping. Be sure to check-out the edit I put together of our post-podcast skate. Darren literally stacked about 3 minutes worth of quality footage in the space of a couple of hours at Mona Vale Skatepark...You'll be inspired.
Enjoy,
Shan
