Afghan Skater Profile: Noorzai Ibrahimi

Introducing Noorzai Ibrihami: 16 year old skateboard instructor, skatepark maintenance crew member, and one of Afghanistan's best skateboarders. Our recent Yak Daqa #5 will introduce you to Noorzai's skills on a skateboard...

Noorzai has been involved with Skateistan from the very beginning, and started skating during the first sessions at Makroyan, back in 2008.

Since then, he's become one of the best skateboarders in Afghanistan - regularly tearing it up in the park as well as on the streets of Kabul. Noorzai is also a core part of Skateistan's operations in Kabul, being employed as a skateboard instructor and a member of the skatepark maintenance crew.

As you may have noticed in Yak Daqa #5, Noorzai skates in the Skateistan Fallen shoe which was released in mid-2011 and is internationally available for purchase.

Here are a few shots featuring Noorzai from a recent session at the Makroyan fountain in Kabul, Afghanistan.
